 What is the oil spill?

• It is the unintentional release of petroleum hydrocarbon liquids

into the environment and is a form of pollution. This term usually
refers to offshore oil spills, where oil is poured into the ocean or
coastal waters, but may occur on land. Spilled oil may be from a
variety of materials, including crude oil from tankers, wells and
offshore platforms, and refined petroleum products. (such as
gasoline and diesel fuel), or ship fuel tanks, including waste oil,
these spills can take months or even years to clean up.
what is the hazards of oil spill?
• Oil spills also destroy natural habitats in the deep sea and ocean,
where there is a very delicate balance in coral reefs and shallow
water habitats. The plankton at the bottom of the food chain is
often killed by oil spills as a result of changes in water and a lack
of sunlight under the oil slick, with this effect transmitted to the top
of the chain.
How can you protect the environment from
oil spills?

• Oil pollution is one of the types of water pollution, which is the

pollution resulting from the presence or spillage of oil in large
quantities on water bodies. Great on the quality of natural
water bodies, this pollution is primarily man-made, and is the
result of some irresponsible industrial activities.
