VATIS UPDATE Part
Article body
A team of researchers led by chemist George John from City College of New York (CCNY), the United States, have developed an eco-friendly biodegradable green “herding” agent that can be used to clean up light crude oil spills on water. Derived from the plant-based small molecule phytol abundant in the marine environment, the new substance would potentially replace chemical herders currently in use.
