oil pollution
Spilled crude damage
Oil pollution is contamination of water, soil, or air by petroleum products.
It occurs through tanker spills, pipeline leaks, drilling accidents, and runoff from roads and industry.
The oil pollution from the spill devastated marine life along the coast.
Effects include wildlife deaths, ecosystem damage, and long-term environmental harm that can persist for decades.
