Oil pollution- of water and air

Oil firms doing their part.

Two Oil Firms Tie Rig Blast to 'Plug' - WSJ.com: "Executives from BP PLC, Transocean Ltd. and Halliburton Co. began pointing fingers on Monday over who bears ultimate responsibility for the April 20 oil-rig explosion that took 11 lives and is spilling oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The question will loom large at a Senate hearing Tuesday that will hear from executives of the three companies."

Airlines doing theirs.

Continental flight safely returns to Newark airport after 'hydraulic problem' | - NJ.com: "Bergen said the jet, loaded with fuel for what is normally a 14-hour flight, circled above central New Jersey for an hour to dump the fuel, making it light enough for a safe landing.
'By ‘dumping,’ it does not come gushing out of the plane,' she said. 'It comes out in a mist, which evaporates in the air.'
About 170,000 pounds of jet fuel was released, and a strong odor led residents of several Somerset County communities to contact police and the state Department of Environmental Protection, said Lawrence Ragonese, a DEP spokesman.
'The DEP is taking a look at it,' he said. 'But at this point, there is no known health risk or danger.'"
