IN spite of very convincing evidence to the contrary, crude oil and oil products are still occasionally considered to be “insoluble” in aqueous systems. In view of recent reports of major ecological disruptions caused by oil pollution1,2, it seemed imperative to collect more data on the solubility of oil and oil products in water systems3,4. We have isolated, identified and quantitatively determined major components present in seawater extracts of several crude oils and a kerosene.
