Story

Détails

Ocean Current

Spilled from a carrier ship on latitude 42.06 North, -10.09 West beside the country of Spain

The laundry detergent " Gain" was spilled by a booster rocket coming down from space after being released from the space shuttle "Discovery". Releasing more than 18 tons of Laundry detergent into the Atlantic ocean

Factors

Its surface waters are relatively cool because as it travels south, it causes upwelled water to form at the coast the cold water will cause the spill to move slowly down south at a speed of 10- 15 cm

Weather

Human and Animal Effects

During Autumn the canary current is at its weakest and during winter the trade winds are at their peak in wind strength at high velocity's 75 cm per/sec. During summer its far more weaker than Autumn

Detergents can have poisonous effects in all types of aquatic life if they are present in sufficient quantities, and this includes the biodegradable detergents. All detergents destroy the external mucus layers that protect the fish from bacteria and parasites; plus they can cause severe damage to the gills. Most fish will die when detergent concentrations approach 15 parts per million. Detergent will kill fish eggs. Surfactant detergents are implicated in decreasing the breeding ability of aquatic organisms.
