Dispersants in the Freshwater Environment

Source

During the past four years, a research program to investigate the effect of oil and dispersant chemicals on a freshwater ecosystem has been carried out. Laboratory experiments were used to select a suitable dispersant for a field trial and to develop monitoring techniques which would be capable of detecting chronic and sublethal effects in selected species of the freshwater ecosystem. The field trial demonstrated that a spill of light oil covering 5 to 10% of the surface of a small shallow freshwater lake had no long-term measurable effects and that the application of a dispersant ameliorated some short-term effects even in this low energy system.
