This bibliography contains citations concerning the degradation of petroleum products, including hydrocarbons, oil spills, and beach pollution. Microbial degradation of petroleum products on land, on the surface of the water, and underwater are discussed. Composting techniques and genetic engineering to facilitate oil degradation are briefly cited. The effect of cold climates on degradation speeds is studied. (This updated bibliography contains 255 citations, 42 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
