✦ Synopsis

Biochemical oxygen demand and riverwater biodegradation tests of oil spill dispersants were determined at three sodium chloride concentrations--0, 20, and 40 g/D--and at ambient temperature. Surfactant conc~ntratton was monitored by infra red spectroscopy. Results obtained indicated that microbial degradation of all the dispersants used in the study decreased with increasing salt concentration.
