Literature Review Project

National Plan Research, Development & Technology

The review aims to summarise recent innovations and current world-wide research in the areas of oil and chemical spill response technology. It does not attempt to synthesise information on the extensive commercially available technologies except where research addresses the limitations to such equipment and technologies. The scope of the review is limited to spills affecting marine and estuarine water relevant to Australian conditions.

Data were collected from a wide range of sources with focus on post 1998 international conference proceedings, trade notes and publications as well as information published on the World Wide Web, particularly by primary research organisations.

A copy of the Literature Review [PDF Icon PDF: 1722Kb] is available for download. For further information please contact Environment Protection.
