Oil Spills
Architects need to build safer oil tankers that prevent oil leakage or oil spills in order to save the marine environment.Oil spills are a big issue these days since the Exxon Spill that happened in Alaska the spills could harm or even endanger the marine life habitat.And worse after people will clean the spill and bacteria “eats” the oil then the oil is still there.This is affecting a big toll in marine life and also polluting water.
One reason why Oil spills are a big deal is it could affect marine life and businesses/jobs.Hotels and restaurants on coastal areas could be badly affected by oil spills.The businesses would need to close down and would even leave some unemployed,which then they would suffer economic problems/losses.Also some industry depends on clean water, like cooling power plants.The effects on that? Well it could contaminate pipes which means the plant is going to have to shut down while people clean the mess.Now to marine life,the person driving the Oil tankers are responsible for stuff like the Exxon Oil Spill that killed at least 25,000 seabirds and probably more.Some of the oil spills left the corpse of 18,000 harbor seals,an Oil Spill in the coast of Finland spilled or “leaked”900 barrels into the water,Now you may ask “But 900 barrels is nothing!” Well the outcome of that oil spill? It killed at least 3,000 elder ducks.The oil spill takes a huge death toll for the animals in the marine environment which is why we go to our next subject.
Now imagine,your a fish...The sea is known as a pretty and beautiful place.Coral reefs,plants and heck,you can even breath underwater.Now heres the bad part...Theres an oil spill,now you're probably glad as a human, you not in this mess,yet your not affected by it if your inland of the state or country.But if your a fish or a animal in the marine environment,then thats a different story.Let’s say the oil gets into your skin,If the oil got into human skin then that would do major damage.You see,oil consists or is made up into 300 different chemical! Thats a lot and most of them are harmful and deadly on living things.Some of the chemicals as said in the book “Oil spills” are called “petrochemicals” can cause respiratory diseases,skin problems/infections MANY blood diseases that can affect our body.Animals are the same thing,the oil affects the marine wildlife.By the oil coating them which leads to suffercation and by posioning due to exposure by toxic compound.Animals when exposed to the toxic compound known as “oil” is as same when humans are exposed to the same subtance,it causes harmful thing into the body.So now you may be wondering “what happens when a oil spill end?”Well the people cleans the oil if its washed up onto the beach or shoreline..then the bacteria eats the oil,and mostly a lot of marine animals or wildlife is dead.But yet the oil spill doesn’t clean up completely and thats the sad part and the problem wouldn’t have happened at all if the architects build safer to prevent leaks and damage into the wildlife or the ships made and by high quality material.The oil spills need to stop,the Architects need to design safer oil tanker in order to stop oil leakage and oil spills. |
