CHEMICAL OIL SPILL DISPERSANTS: EVALUATION OF THREE LABORATORY PROCEDURES FOR ESTIMATING PERFORMANCE
The report presents data from studies designed to evaluate characteristics of selected bench-scale test methods for estimating performance of chemical agents for dispersing oil from surface slicks Into an underlying water column. n order to mitigate the effect of surface slicks with chemical dispers...
