The Importance of Data Reliability and Usability When Assessing Impacts of Marine Mineral Oil Spills

Spilled mineral oils in the marine environment pose a number of challenges to sampling and analysis. Mineral oils are complex assemblages of hydrocarbons and additives, the composition of which can vary considerably depending on the source oil and product specifications. Further, the marine microbia...
