Since the early 1970s, experts have recognized that petroleum pollutants were being discharged in marine waters worldwide, from oil spills, vessel operations, and land-based sources. Public attention has forced improvements. This book provides an estimate of oil pollutant discharge into marine waters, and a discussion about the related concerns.
