Oil Spills Hazard and Sustainable Mitigation Approach: A Review

Abstract:

The great negative impact of oil spill to the environment and living things over the years have necessitated the need for much study on improving and developing of sustainable natural absorbents in recent time. This paper reviews the adverse effect of oil spill, controls measures and proposes future recommendations for the usage of some agricultural products with promising oil absorbent potency.
