The latest research and design developments in the area ofoilspill control dispersants and other chemicals. Thiscomprehensive volume provides up-to-date information on how best todeal with this environmental concern, with a special focus on threecategories:

Laboratory Work: Testing oil spill dispersants,water-in-oil emulsion breakers, and performance evaluation methodsfor oil spill chemical dispersants.

Ecological Considerations: Marine life response todispersed oil; resolving related ecological issues; and howdispersants perform under arctic conditions.

Operational Considerations: Dispersant application byFire Monitor; a shoreline cleaner evaluation; oil droplet sizemeasurements at sea; oil spill testing agents; and how breakingwave conditions impact chemical dispersants.
