FOREWORD
Man and his environment must be protected from the adverse
effects of pesticides, radiation, noise and other forms of pol-
lution, and the unwise management of solid waste. Efforts to pro-
tect the environment require a focus that recognizes the interplay
between the components of our physical environment -- air, water,
and land. The National Environmental Research Centers provide this
multidisciplinary focus through programs engaged in
• studies on the effects of environmental contaminants
on man and the biosphere, and
• a search for ways to prevent contamination and to re-
cycle valuable resources.
The compilation and dissemination of pertinent information is
essential to understanding and management of the environment.
This report is the first in a series of quarterly reports high-
lighting significant and recent events, research, and literature
dealing with the prevention, control and cleanup of oil spills.

INTRODUCTION
This is the first edition of Oil Spill and Oil Pollution Reports.
It consists of four major sections: oil spill events, summaries
of articles from the scientific and technical literature, summa-
ries of current research projects, and summaries of oil pollution
related patents.
Oil spill events are arranged alphabet!'dally by state and chrono-
logically for each state. Following the state is listed the county
and city nearest to where the spill occurred. The Oil Spill Event
dates range beyond the stated dates of this report and the report
does not include all oil spills between July and October, 1974.
The amount of detailed information for each oil spill entry varies
with the oil spill information source.
Summaries and bibliographic citations of articles from the scien-
tific and technical literature are arranged by topic and alphabeti-
cally by senior author -within each topic. Sources for the summar-
ized material are scientific and technical journals and abstracting
journals.
Current research project summaries are arranged by topic and alpha-
betically by senior principal investigator within each topic. The
topics used in this section are generally the same as used in the
proceeding section but to avoid confusion the two sections are sep-
arate. All the research project information was obtained from the
Smithsonian Science Information Exchange (SSIE).
Patent summaries are divided into United States and foreign and
arranged alphabetically by inventor in each section. All patent
information was obtained from abstracting journals. Illustrations
of the patented devices, if available, were taken from the U. S.
Patent Office Official Gazette for United States patents.
All report entries are serialized. Each section has its own number
series starting with entry number one and each section entry serial
number is preceeded by a letter which designates the section: S,
oil spill events; C, citation from the literature; R, research pro-
ject; P, patent. In subsequent reports the number series will con-
tinue. Many of the included entries will fit under more than one
topic. Therefore, a topic cross index list is provided at the end
of the report. Following the summary are listed any other topics
which apply to the entry.

By comparing certain stable chemical indexes present in
unweathered suspect oil and in a weathered pollution sample,
identification of oil pollution sources is possible. An analysis
was made on weathered and unweathered oil by low voltage mass
spectroscopy (polynuclear aromatics), high voltage mass
spectroscopy (naphthenes), gas chromatography (n_-paraffins),
emission spectroscopy (Ni/V), and X-ray total S and Kjeldahl

The biodegradability at two temperatures (psychrophilic and
mesophilic) was tested for four different crude oils having
different compositions. Metabolic biodegradation capability
of psychrophilic populations under mesophilic conditions was
much greater than mesophilic populations under psychrophilic
conditions. Oil composition was very important to bio-

OIL AND ICE IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN: POSSIBLE LARGE-SCALE

Three mechanisms of natural oil dispersal are suggested
following an Arctic oil spill: lead-matrix pumping, oil-
hummock melting, and under ice transport. Due to ice pack
mechanics and slow biodegradation the oil would eventually
reach a large ice surface area where it would reduce the
albedo.

(developing countries) and (B) caused by development (indus-

(including oil) are listed with their relative amount of

Nylon plankton nets are capable of absorbing PCB's and petroleum
hydrocarbons from the water until the concentrations reach
equilibrium with the water. Plankton are able to extract the
hydrocarbons from the net. Since the net absorbs these
substances throughout the water column, plankton analysis for
PCB's or hydrocarbons can be affected.

CONTAINING AND REMOVING OIL SPILLS ON WATER
Alquist, H. E. and R. T. Werkman
U. S. Patent No. 3,770,627. No illustration.
A coherent mass for containing spilled oil is made from a
thermoplastic, organic polymer that floats on oil. The polymer
is fused by igniting with an inflammable substance. The coherent
mass is then skimmed from the surface of the water.

SAFETY DEVICE AGAINST LEAKAGE FROM SHIPS, ESPECIALLY TANKERS
Backstrom, A. L.
U. S. Patent No. 3,785,321
This safety device consists of a flexible shield within the
