BP Oil Spill
The BP oil spill, also known as the Deepwater Horizon spill, occurred in late April 2010 when a oil well exploded in the Gulf of Mexico and killed 11 people. The disastrous spill gushed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf and is considered an environmental catastrophe and one of the worst offshore oil spills in U.S. history.

What were the chemistry properties of the oil in Gulf of Mexico as it first split and weathers?
When the oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico first split, it contained a mixture of hydrocarbons, including volatile organic compounds and heavier components like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). As the oil weathers, the lighter components evaporate or dissolve into the water, while the heavier compounds can persist longer in the environment, posing a risk to marine life and ecosystems. Overall, the chemistry properties of the oil change over time due to weathering processes like evaporation, dissolution, and microbial degradation.
