The Response Handbook

This section of the oil-spill-web will gradually be expanded to be an up-dated handbook in practical oil spill combatting. The on-line Response Handbook will

1. Describe in general terms the behaviour of oil when it has been spilled on water or land
2. Describe the most common types of oil spill equipment / tools / products, such as booms, skimmers, pumps,dispersants, absorbents, storage facilities, vessels, etc.
3. Recommend response tactics - marine to the most common types oil pollution into the marine environment
4. Recommend response tactics - land to the most common types oil pollution on land
5. Recommend remediation processes to the most common types of oil pollution on land, including waste oil pit cleaning
6. Recommended wildlife rehabilitation procedures
7. Describe disposal or use of recovered oil

We are at this stage bringing only the most general information on each topic. We will gradually expand the handbook using our own resources. But it is very important also to underline that we are welcoming assistance and contributions to this work from interested hands-on experts within the oil spill community.

We very well know that there are different opinions on how oil pollution should be handled. The Response Handbook will express the opinion of the operator of the oil-spill-web, flemingCo environmental. Or it will express the opinion of the author of an individual article which has been adopted by the Response Handbook.
