subject: Environmental Remediation Is Still Provided In Oil Spill [print this page] Oil spills have been a great threat in lives of many including the plants and animals around the area. This environmental disaster can cause a lot of damage and leaves the place useless in years. One of the creatures that got a great damage from oil spill is the fish that lives in the water. Thousands of fish can be seen floating in the sea as a sign that they are dead because their habitat was destroyed. The sea becomes polluted and toxins can be seen floating as the oil spill occurs in that certain sea. Seeing the trees as well covered with chemicals make us worry to the environment. Volunteers even try their best to help engineers in having the environmental remediation in the affected areas.
There are oil spills happening in each year from different parts of the world and all of these affected areas experienced a great damage that could not be remediated in a short period of time. Oil spills causes temperature fluctuations to birds and can even causes kidney damage, altered liver function and digestive tract irritation. These birds can also experiences dehydration once they are exposed to petroleum. The biggest effect of the oil spill is limited photosynthesis of marine plants and phytoplankton as well as the food chain in the ecosystem. Seeing how this disaster affects the animals, many volunteers could not just sit back and watch how fishes, birds and other animals die. Citizens around the world watch out for the new progress about the environmental remediation that engineers work on in the affected area.
Experts have been eager in seeking the best environmental remediation methods no matter how difficult it might be. Some of these methods are listed below:
Cleaning Up
*Solidifying- this method solidifies oil by transforming it from liquid to semi-solid than can visibly float in the water. Another thing that is great about this method is that it is not toxic to aquatic. *Vacuum plus Centrifuge - this method uses vacuum to suck up oils and centrifuge separates oil from water. After the centrifuge is done pure oil goes to the tanker and water returns to the sea with just a small amount of oil left.
All of these are great help in remediating the oil that spilled in the sea and retaining the habitat of all creatures. These spills may have done great damage but we had lessened the occurrence of the damage and prevented more creatures to die through remediation. We all ought to understand that oil spill is a release of toxic chemicals in the environment due to human activity to make us realize what we should do to prevent this to happen.
Proper waste disposal is what we should take into action to prevent this disaster to occur and cause massive damages. We should act now rather looking and smelling dead fishes that are floating and suffer from illnesses like dehydration. We should not let this happen because our lives are in great danger as oil spill occurs. We should remember how wonderful our world was seeing the beautiful spots and the animals, birds and fishes enjoying in this beautiful world.
