Oil spillage is one of the six types of Water pollution causes.
Oil Spillage
Water can be polluted by oil spills, transportation, runoff or international dumping. Oil spillage has devastating effects and is difficult to remove. 1 Liter of oil can pollute 1 million litres of water. 12% of all oil water pollution is from oil spills. The rest is from shipping/transporting, draining and pumping oil. Onze oil enters the water it spreads over the surface preventing sunlight and oxygen to go through making it difficult or even impossible for plants to photosynthesize and suffocate marine life. The oil also smothers the feathers of birds preventing them from flying and exposing them to ingestion of oil by catching fish.
