Pollution in our waterways can stem from industrial accidents – large spills from drilling and transport, natural seepage – crude oil that escapes naturally from the ocean floor, land-based runoff – a mix of oil, chemicals, and waste that enters the ecosystem every time it rains. Beyond the environmental toll, the regulatory landscape has tightened. Improper disposal and failure to manage runoff can now lead to heavy municipal fines, restrictive environmental citations, and immediate “stop-work” orders for local businesses.
Some actions you can take to mitigate the effects of chemicals in runoff include upgrade infrastructure. If you manage a site or a commercial property, ensure your drains are protected with berms and drain covers or use a suitable filtration method such as, Spill Hero’s Oil Absorbents. These include a unique all natural ECOLOGO Certified granular absorbent that repels water while absorbing and trapping oils and petroleum liquids. The absorbent comes in a loose, spreadable material that can be poured into standing water locations or in Oil Booms that float on the water’s surface to surround and absorb oil in oceans and waterways, and in pillows and socks that can filter oils from running water.
At Spill Hero we help you fight this with our full line of eco-friendly absorbents designed to secure your sites and protect our waterways without harming the environment.
