How harmful is the oil spill to the ocean

In recent years, various oil tanker spills have occurred frequently, bringing about a great ecological crisis. The most striking is the ecological disaster caused by the spilled fuel to the marine environment and surrounding wildlife. The following are several spill hazards:

1. Oil film damage

The damage caused by the oil film is devastating. The oil film is the initial state of fuel input into the ocean. A large amount of fuel leaks at sea, which is difficult to volatilize and dissolve for a while, and then blown to the shore by strong winds, it can form a half-meter or even a meter-thick oil film. The opaque oil film reduces the permeability of light and affects the sea-to-air material exchange in the sea area, thereby reducing the ocean's oxygen production, and most of the marine life is suffocated to death. At the same time, oil film is devastating to surrounding marine fisheries, especially shellfish and aquaculture. Not only ecological fisheries, maritime tourism, maritime mining and maritime transportation will also be severely damaged.

2. Tar Ball-Residue at Sea

Tar balls-residues after oil film condensation: including tar balls floating on the sea surface and residues in sediments. The tar ball is usually a black or brownish-black irregular semi-solid ball. Although it will not have a significant impact on marine life in the short term, it destroys the natural landscape and light transmittance of the marine environment.

3. Toxic substances enter the marine life food chain

The pollution caused by the dispersed state and emulsified state of the fuel after dissolution. This is the transformation of the oil film through a series of processes such as dissolution and dispersion. This process can easily produce a variety of toxic compounds. These toxic substances will enter the food chain of marine life. Furthermore, it accumulates in the human body through the food chain, endangering human health.
