Oil is the backbone of the global fuel and energy economy. The extraction, transport, and use of oil and its products pollute the environment -soil, water, and air -endangering living organisms in ecosystems and human health.Between 0.08% and 0.4% of the world's annual oil production is estimated to be released into the environment as pollutants. The amount of oil released into the environment is increasing every year and causing more and more environmental problems. Many methods of cleaning the environment from these pollutants are known, but not all of them are effective
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
