The Gulf War of 1991 had a minimal environmental effect until Saddam Hussein's retreating Iraqi army began to torch Kuwaiti Oil Wells. This led to large fires and petroleum issues in Kuwait that had to be cleaned up.

What is the percentage of oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico vs the gallons of water in the Gulf?
If you believe the reported volume of water in the Gulf to be 650 quadrillion gallons(that's 650,000,000,000,000,000), and the reported total spillage to be approximately 275 million gallons to date, then the ratio of oil to water in the Gulf would be 0.00000000042:1. To put those massive numbers in perspective, if it were people, as opposed to water, that ratio would be the equivalent of one person(oil spill) out of nearly 2.4 billion people(Gulf). Or, to go even further, if you consider the population of the entire world to be about 6.7 billion, then the equivalent would be less than 3 people(oil spill) out of the world's population(Gulf). That makes it seem kind of small, doesn't it?
