Popis: Several attempts have been made to carry out fate of oil studies directly in the environment. Such studies are necessary to validate the measurements and observations made in laboratory simulations. The problems associated with studies carried out directly in the environment are that there are so many interactions taking place the interpretation of data is extremely difficult, particularly when the environment itself is varying with time. The converse is true for laboratory simulations, since one controls many environmental parameters and limits the number of interactions in order to be able to interpret the data.
