THE EFFECTS OF OIL POLLUTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT
1 THE EFFECTS OF OIL POLLUTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT Godwin Onajite Eshagberi Abstract Crude oil provides the energy that drives the economy of most countries of the world today. Since crude oil was first discovered in Nigeria in 1958, oil exploration has continued in the Niger-Delta. This paper examined the EFFECTS of oil POLLUTION on the ENVIRONMENT . Oil POLLUTION occurs when crude oil and its refined products are spilled into the ENVIRONMENT by the activities of man. The consequences of oil spills are more severe in aquatic ecosystem. They interfere with functioning of various organ systems of plants and animals. Apart from its effect on biodiversity of the imparted habitats, neighbouring communities are also denied of their sources of livelihood.
oils are lighter than water, they lie flat on top of it. However, the specific gravity of an oil spill increases if the lighter substance within the oil evaporates. (ii) Viscosity is the measure of a liquids resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity of the oil, the greater the tendency to stay in one place.
