4.25/5

Recently, Typhoon Gaemi wreaked havoc across Taiwan, the Philippines, and parts of southeastern China. The heavy rains resulted in the sinking of an oil tanker laden with 1.4 million litres of oil in Manila Bay. Oil spills, such as this, occur when crude oil or refined petroleum products are released into the environment due to accidents during transportation, offshore drilling, or tanker mishaps. These spills can have severe and long-lasting effects on ecosystems and human communities. The substances spilled can include refined products like gasoline and diesel, which are often more toxic and harmful than crude oil.
