China’s largest reported oil spill has magnified in its dimensions, almost doubled to 165 square miles. The oil spillage seems to pose a serious threat to the marine life. The beaches along the Yellow sea are to be vacated to clean up the oil spill. A pipeline owned by China National Petroleum Corp. exploded last week leading to the menace of oil spillage which even sparked off fire at the coast. This hampered the shipment of oil from China’s strategic oil reserves to rest of the country. Besides it has given a red alert to the environmentalists against the mammoth pollution following it.
China has set up the cleanup operation to clean the greasy brown plume floating off the shores of Dalian. The remnant sludge needs to be disposed off to prevent polluting the international waters as well which might spring up a dispute in future.
