INVESTIGATION ON THE SPILLED OIL PENETRATABLE ABILITY OF THE COASTAL MATERIALS FROM MUI NE TO CANGIO

Abstract

From the initial results, the penetratable ability of some types of spilled oil on the coastal materials from Mui Ne to Can Gio can be mentioned as followings: - For shore from Mui Ne to VungTau: if oil spill happens, oil can not sink deeply. So it is not difficult to clean up the shore. - For the shore surrounding Ganhrai gulf: the shore formed from fine materials which are rich of clay minerals, spilled oil will be retainedand remained at the upper part of the shore materials, and cause pollution for a long time. Such section must be considered as the priority in protection when there is an oilspill.
