What are Oil Spills?
Nanotechnology and Marine Oil Spills
• An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum
hydrocarbon into the environment, especially marine
areas, due to human activity, and is a form of
pollution.
• Oil spills may be due to releases of crude oil from
tankers, offshore platforms, drilling rigs and wells, as
well as spills of refined petroleum products and their
by-products, heavier fuels used by large ships such as
bunker fuel, or the spill of any oily refuse or waste oil.

Prevention
Nanotechnology and Marine Oil Spills
• Secondary containment :
methods to prevent releases of oil or hydrocarbons into
environment.
• Oil Spill Prevention Containment and Countermeasures
(SPCC) program by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency.
• Double-hulling :
build double hulls into vessels, which reduces the risk and
severity of a spill in case of a collision or grounding. Existing
single-hull vessels can also be rebuilt to have a double hull.
• Thick-hulled railroad transport tanks
