 TOXIC SUBSTANCES IN OIL ..
• Petroleum or crude oil is a naturally occurring flammable
liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons
of various molecular weights and other liquid organic
compounds.

1. Light weight components (bp<150°C): MAIN

COMPONENTS
High acute toxicity, e.g., benzene, OF THE CRUDE
toluene, xylene OIL:
• AROMATICS
2.Medium weight components (bp: 150-450°C):
• HYDROCARBONS
Moderate acute and chronic toxicity
, e.g., naphthalene • NAPTHELENE

3.High weight components( bp> 450°C): • SULFUR

Moderate acute toxicity • N2 , O2

High chronic toxicity, e.g., • Na , Ni , Fe , Va

benzopyrene
NATURAL SEEPS
 IF OIL IS NATURAL TO THE OCEANS
AND IF IT IS THE BIGGEST SOURCE OF
INPUT, WHAT IS THE FUSS ABOUT OIL
AS A POLLUTANT ??
OIL SPILLS ??

   
OIL SPILL IS THE
ACCIDENTAL OR
INTENTIONAL RELEASE
OF LIQUID PETROLEUM
HYDROCARBON INTO THE
OCEAN OR COASTAL
WATERS DUE TO HUMAN
ACTIVITY MAINLY…
CAUSES OF OIL SPILLS…
• Sinking or leakage of Oil
carrying vessels or Oil  

pipelines

• Illegal dumping by
industries

• Countries at war

• Terrorist activities

• Natural Disasters
 SOURCES OF OIL
SEA
POLLUTION
LAND
BASED
• OPERATIONAL BASED
DISCHARGES • DISCHARGES OF UNTREATED
MUNICIPAL SEWAGE OR SORM
• ACCIDENTAL WATER
DISCHARGES
• DISCHARGES OF UNTREATED
• LEAKAGES FROM WASTE WATER FROM COASTAL
SUNKEN , GROUNDED INDUSTRIES
OR ABANDONED SHIPS
• ACCIDENTAL OR OPERATIONAL
• FROM SHIPS ACCIDENTS DISCHARGES OF OIL FROM
• FROM OFFSHORE COASTAL REFINERIES, OIL
DRILLINGS STORAGE FACILITIES AND OIL
TERMINALS
• FROM OFFSHORE
PIPELINES
• SOME MAJOR OIL SPILLS…

1) DEEPWATER HORIZON
2)GULF WAR OIL SPILL
3) IXTOC 1 OIL WELL
4) ABT SUMMER
5) ATLANTIC EMPRESS
 EFFECTS
ON HUMAL LIFE
ON MARINE LIFE
• RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS • FISH, OTHER PLANTS AND ANIMALs DIE.

• FILM OF OIL ON WATER SURFAC RESULTS IN LACK OF

• EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION
OXYGEN.

• NEUROLOGICAL EFFECTS
• FISHES HATCH WITH TWISTED SPINE & DEFORMED

HEARTS.
HEADACHE AND DIZZINESS

• AFFECTS FOOD WEB WHEN OIL REACHES SEA BED.

• NATURAL RECOVERY PROCESS MAY REQUIRE 10

 WHAT CAN BE DONE?

1. CARE WHILE TRANSPORTATION

2. REDUCING DEMAND FOR OIL
3. PROVIDE SECONDARY CONTAINMENT
4. DOUBLE HULLING
5. BLOWOUT PREVENTER
 METHODOLOGY
MECHANICAL COLLECTION
1)SETTING FIRE TO OIL SPILL
2) SKIMMING

EMICAL DISPERSANTS NATURAL

1) GELLING MATERIALS
2) SINKING 1)CORCHORUS
DEPRESSUS
3) ABSORBING
2)BENTONITE CLAY
3)ACTIVATED CARBON
