| All the factors that cause oil pollutants to enter the sea in some way, can cause water and sediment pollution. Oil pollution in the seas has devastating effects on plant and animal communities and marine ecosystems, including acute effects on fish and its effects on the larval and juvenile stages of fish, as well as genetic damage to them. Hydrocarbons are the most important constituents of oil in terms of quantity, which is produced from natural as well as human resources. Oil pollutants pose a major threat to marine ecosystems, and one of the most fundamental ways to combat them is to use methods that can significantly reduce them. Considering the important effects of oil pollution on the marine and aquatic ecosystem, this article has provided an overview of this contamination and ways to prevent it. |
