What is the definition of 'containment'?
In reference to the word "Containment," in the historical context of Communism, containment is the blocking of another nation's attempts to spread its influence. The actual word containment means to block passage or quarantine.

What has the author Donald E Brunner written?
Donald E. Brunner has written: 'Materials for oil containment boom' -- subject(s): Oil spill booms
What is the lowest level of chemical equipment that must be used when the hazardous substance is unknown?
The telephone, and containment booms. If you don't know what you're dealing with you MUST get someone with testing equipment into the spill area to figure out what it is. Put containment booms around it to keep the problem from getting worse, and get someone in there to determine what you're dealing with.
What was oil booms disadvantage?
i dont know
Why can nanoparticles of iron be used to clean up oil?
Iron nanoparticles can be used in the remediation of contaminated soil in certain cases- see related link. The clean up of an offshore oil spill is different. Much of the spilled oil can not be recovered, however they are trying to mitigate the harmful effects by selective burning, skimmers, dispersants and containment booms.

Why didn't they try to clog the oil booms in the Texas Oil boom?
because they were leaking out to much oil
Will the gulf coast oil spill reach destin fl?
It is a simple question for which I do not have a simple answer as of May 4. There are a lot of efforts being made to keep the oil spill away from area beaches through oil booms, but bad weather and winds can make containment difficult. The containment dome is scheduled to be installed very soon. The spill has been moving eastward, towards Florida, but destined to reach Florida? I'm just not sure. See related link of the NOAA website, where they track the spill.
What are 5 ways that they are fixing the oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico?
It is hard to "fix" an oil spill. Probably, the most important is to stop the well by flowing, by drilling relief wells. In addition, containment booms try to keep the oil from spreading and they are only partially successful in this effort. The oil spill keeps getting larger, and they can't deploy the booms rapidly to hold back the spill. Controlled burns of the oil also reduces the volume of oil. The recent installment of the LMRP (lower marine riser package) which captures the oil as it is escaping the well, and flows it up a marine riser, is working very well at present. They are using dispersants, injected subsea and also sprayed from planes on the surface of the oil spill to break up the oil. That's five right there- 1) relief wells, 2) booms 3) burns 4) LMRP and 5) dispersants.
Is the oil spill going to make it to Florida?
It is likely that some of the panhandle area of Florida, near Pensacola will have some oil contamination. They are still doing selective burns and setting containment booms. BP has teams in place in Florida, to do inspections and clean up, if the oil spill extends that far. The NOAA website posts every day maps showing the trajectory of the spill- see related link.
What made Texas cities grow in the 60's-70's?
Oil booms.
What items are used to clean up ocean oil spills?
Booms -- Floating barriers placed around the oil or around whatever is leaking the oil. Booms contain the oil so skimmers can collect it.Skimmers -- Boats, vacuum machines, and oil-absorbent plastic ropes that skim spilled oil from the water's surface after booms have corralled it. The skimmer collects oil into a container so it can be removed.Chemical dispersants -- Materials that break down the oil into its chemical constituents. This helps disperse the oil and make it less harmful to wildlife and shorelines.In-situ burning -- Igniting freshly spilled oil while it's still floating on the water.
What was one of the first tools deployed to clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?
Booms
