Not counting the BP disaster, we found at least 6,500 spills, leaks, fires or explosions nationwide-that's 18 a day. Overall, at least 34 million gallons of crude oil and other potentially toxic chemicals were spilled. That's triple the size of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill.
An oil spill refers to the release of a liquid-based petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment as a result of human activity. This introduction of destructive agents is a drastic form of environmental pollution that harbors numerous negative externalities and could precipitate the dissolvent of an entire ecosystem. The term oil spill most likely refers to marine oil spills, which occur when oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters. As a broad term, oil spills include the release of all crude oil from tankers, drilling rigs, wells and offshore platforms, as well as those spills of refined petroleum products (such as diesel and gasoline) and their by-products.
