Produktbeschreibung
As demands for energy grow worldwide due to speedup of industrialization processes, liquid petroleum (crude oil and the products refined from it) plays a pervasive role in our modern society. For example, about 286,000 tones of oil and petroleum products are used in Canada every day. The United States uses about 10 times this amount and, worldwide, about 12 million tones are used per day. Extraction, transportation, and widespread use of petroleum inevitably result in intentional and accidental releases to the environment. In addition, natural seepage of crude oil from geologic formations below the seafloor to the sea surface also contributes to pollution of the marine environment.
