Description:
Emergency spills of oil and oil products are characterized by high salvo impact on the environment, causing a quick response. Therefore, the time factor in the localization and liquidation of accidental spills of oil products on land is crucial. When measures to eliminate the accident are not taken quickly and effectively, the pollution zone increases significantly, and its consequences are manifested to a greater extent.

- containment and collection of spills using special equipment;
- neutralization of collected waste by biodegradation methods or their placement at specialized landfills,
