Bioremediation Of Used Motor Oil
What happens to used motor oil after it leaves our cars? That's a question that many of us don't stop to ask, but hopefully the answer is that it is taken to a recycler to be cleaned for future reuse. However, even if the oil handled in the most responsible way possible, chances are that a bit gets dribbled on the ground during the transfer from car to container. Places such as car dealerships and body shops will likely see a number of these dribbles over the years, potentially leading to an unhealthy buildup of oil residues in nearby soils. Some of this buildup may remain local, but some can dissolve in water and make its way into the tissues of plants and animals--where the heavy metals it contains can wreak havoc on their health and fitness. read more
