About This Project
Natural materials may provide an effective, economical, and safer alternative to the chemicals commonly used for oil spill recovery today. The use of naturally occurring, soap-like materials in oil spill response could prove less harmful to worker health and reduce the impact of the cleanup chemicals on the environment.
