Oil Spills Leave Lasting Mark

Oil Spills Leave Lasting Mark
from scientificamerican.com

Comment from the contributor:

From Scientific American:Environments affected by oil spills may still be feeling the impact even years afterwards.

“ "The long-term biological effects of oil contamination at this site is unknown since animals burrowing into these sediments can be exposed to high levels of some of these compounds," Reddy says. "It is clear from this study that oil spills can have a long-term impact on a coastal environment." ”
