Sažetak
Dispersants are group of chemicals which by means of their actions i.e. by dispersing oil slick make the process of natural dispersion quicker. The goal of the usage of dispersants is to reduce the damage caused by oil slick. They are the most efficient ones when being applied immediately after the spillage, before the lightest components evaporate. However, the application of the dispersants has its limitations and its usage must be carefully planned and controlled. Each State has a list of approved dispersants and The Republic of Croatia too. The Plan of Intervention on Sudden Sea Pollutions contains the list of approved dispersants.
