Title: Oil spill cleanup can be effective and self supporting

Journal Article · · Spill Technology Newsletter

The technologies and equipment required for oil spill cleanup and prevention are available. If properly applied, they could reduce the damage and resultant costs associated with large spills. The rising cost of cleaning up large oil spills is demonstrated with relevant data from 1967-79. Cleanup techniques can reduce expenses associated with pollution damage, legal claims, and cargo value. Defense systems and costs of strategy implementation are also considered.
