What causes oil pollution?

1 Oil causes pollution of rivers, lakes, and oceans. Bur where does this oil come from? Scientists believe that waste oil is responsible for the most pollution. Some of this comes from industry, some from our roads, and some is thrown away by people.
2 Oil leaks and spills happen because of technical problems, mistakes, vandalism (damage caused by people for no reason), accidents, or war. The smallest amount of oil comes from offshore drilling activities where oil is sometimes spilled because of burst (broken) pipes or human error (mistakes made by people). Major oil ranker disasters account for slightly more oil pollution. Accidents with ships are the result of ships hitting each other or hitting sand or rocks below the water. Accidents happen because of human error, poor maintenance, or poor communication between the crew members working on the ship. They can also happen when bad weather forces an oil tanker against a rocky coast.
3 A major oil leak or spill can result in very serious damage to plants and animals, the environment, and the local economy. Some parts of die environment are more easily damaged than others. For example, in water near the coast there are thousands of plants and animals that could die.
4 Governments and oil companies around the world are working together to reduce oil pollution. Improved safety training and management means fewer spills. Satellite and aircraft are used to quickly identify new cases of pollution. New technical measures include double-hulled tankers, ships with one body inside another.
