The early use of oil, also called earth oil, was done without further processing. Crude oil was extracted from surface leaks or springs. Oil pollution is one of the serious global environmental problems.
Although the results of this process are still considered as small, this is a continuous disruption of aquatic ecosystems, which gradually leads to local degradation of individual areas of the World Ocean.
The main problem is a human activity and, above all, water pollution from ships, including spills of oil and petroleum products, waste disposal, ship washing and the use or transport of poisonous chemicals (Panteleeva et al., 2016).
In this report, we set out to investigate the major environmental risks to water as a result of oil and petroleum products pollution.
