API - Effects of Oil and Chemically Dispersed Oil in the Environment
Year: 2001 Language: english Author: API Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 63 Description: The American Petroleum Institute commissioned the preparation of three booklets to help bridge the gap in the understanding of dispersant use, effectiveness, and effects. This third booklet focuses on exposure and effects of untreated oil and chemically dispersed oil in the marine environment. Crude oil is a complex, highly variable mixture of hydrocarbons and other trace compounds. Exposure may cause a variety of adverse effects, including narcosis, slowed growth, reduced reproduction, and death. Dispersants are mixtures of chemicals known as solvents and surfactants. Solvents reduce the viscosity of both the oil and the dispersant, and help surfactants penetrate into the oil. The surfactants then help the oil break up and disperse into the water column.
