When oil is spilled, it creates a slick that reduces the frictional force between surfaces, particularly on water. This reduction in friction can impact the movement of boats and marine life, making surfaces more slippery and potentially altering the behavior of organisms in the affected area. Additionally, the slick can diminish the effectiveness of natural cleaning processes in the environment.

What are some ways to reduce oil pollution?

It is a fairly simple answer. Do not spill oil into the ocean or ground, and have safety devices in place in case of an oil leak or spill. To reduce pollution that is already in place, there are standard decontaminating procedures using surfactants, containment, and agents for absorption of oil. None of these methods are completely satisfactory however. The the best way to reduce pollution is to first avoid any spills or leakage and conditions that lead to accidents.
