The Effect of Spill Contaminants on Marine Biofilms and Microbially-Induced Corrosion of Carbon Steel
… become artificial reefs. Spilled crude oil and chemical dispersant from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) spill may have impacted the preservation of deep-sea historic shipwrecks and their microbiomes if they are located in areas where oil and dispersant were deposited on the seafloor. Oil potentially …

Surface and Subsurface Application of Chemical Dispersants and Associated Ecosystem Impacts
<p>Chemical dispersants are applied to spilled oil in marine environments when other, less controversial, methods are not adequate for the incident. They are considered to be a response method as opposed to a direct cleanup method, with the intended goals of reducing risk of exposure to sensitive …
