  1. Human hair works very well.  There are people that make hair filled net bags for cleaning up oil spills on water.  The oil-soaked hair can then be spawned with mushroom mycellium, which breaks down 98+% of the oil.  The mushrooms that grow are even edible!


  2. superbugs can degrade several aromatic hydrocarbon,ay the same time they r employed in clearing oil spils in ocean.it was produced first by an indian researcher anand chakarbathy in usa.

  3. Please get in touch with Indian Petroleum Engineering Institute, Dehradun, India.
