Abstract
    The contribution of dispersion to the natural fate of oil slicks at sea is considered in relation to wind and wave conditions. Data are presented on the concentrations of dispersed hydrocarbons at various depths beneath crude oil and refined oil slicks. Estimates are given of the maximum amount of oil likely to be dispersed naturally. The role of chemicals to enhance oil dispersion is discussed and the equipment used in the UK to treat oil slicks at sea is described. Data are presented, showing the rapid rate of dilution of chemically dispersed oil to background levels under relatively calm sea conditions.
