| Abstract | Summary Objectives:- Assess the adequacy of current dispersant tests for heavy fuel oils and weathered (emulsified) oils instead of light crude oil. If necessary, develop revised toxicity tests for dispersants to be used on oil spills in open waters. Key Customer Purpose:- Enable DEFRA to issue FEPA approvals for an important new category of oil dispersants. | |
