Could this be the answer to addressing oil spills and benefit marine environments? Relevant Chemistry: The sponge is a simple foam of polyurethane with silane molecules that attract the oil into the sponge rejecting water and releases oil when squeezed(14). This process is possible due to the silane being…

the decrease of phytoplankton and increase in carbon, people’s health could be affected. Asthma, allergies and other breathing problems can occur. Without phytoplankton, marine life that are important to keeping our oceans clean begin to leave or die off, further increasing toxins in the water. This would cause marine life to leave, creating a dead zone in that area. Already seen off the coast of Mexico, fish leave to find a more oxygen rich environment but the damage may already be done.…
