A protocol for assessing the effectiveness of oil spill dispersants in stimulating the biodegradation of oil

Dispersants are important tools in oil spill response. Taking advantage of the energy in even small waves, they disperse floating oil slicks into tiny droplets (<70 μm) that entrain in the water column and drift apart so that they do not re-agglomerate to re-form a floating slick.
