Abstract
The information on the World ocean pollution by oil and oil products is given, the dynamics of their distribution depending on the oil and oil products composition is shown. The main anthropogenic and natural sources of oil pollution in the World Ocean are described. It is shown that the areas of global oil pollution of the seas coincide with the routes of marine traffic and the estuaries of major rivers. The analysis of oil degradation processes in the marine environment, which include: evaporation, emulsification, solubility, oxidation, formation of aggregates, sedimentation and biodegradation, including microbial destruction and assimilation by plankton and benthic organisms. The dynamics of the oil slick and its impact on the characteristics of the boundary layers of the atmosphere and ocean are discussed.
