Olja \u00e4r en viktig del av det moderna livet. Utan detta v\u00e4rdefulla br\u00e4nsle skulle bilar och lastbilar inte kunna k\u00f6ra, flygplan skulle inte kunna flyga och m\u00e5nga industrier skulle stanna upp. Men olja kan ocks\u00e5 utg\u00f6ra ett hot mot naturen om den inte hanteras p\u00e5 r\u00e4tt s\u00e4tt. Oljeutsl\u00e4pp kan sprida sig \u00f6ver stora havsomr\u00e5den. De bruna oljefl\u00e4ckarna t\u00e4cker allt de kommer i kontakt med med klibbigt slem, vilket d\u00f6dar m\u00e5nga f\u00e5glar och havsdjur och t\u00e4cker sandstr\u00e4nder och korallrev.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Den senaste oljekatastrofen inleddes den 22 april 2010, efter att en borrplattform exploderade och sj\u00f6nk i Mexikanska golfen. Sedan dess har miljontals fat r\u00e5olja l\u00e4ckt ut fr\u00e5n en skadad oljek\u00e4lla p\u00e5 havsbotten, vilket hotar att leda till en omfattande milj\u00f6katastrof.<\/p>\n

Det bruna monsterets utbredning har \u00f6vervakats av m\u00e5nga satelliter, d\u00e4ribland ESA:s Envisat. Dessa \u2018\u00f6gon i rymden\u2019 tillhandah\u00e5ller viktig och aktuell information till tusentals myndighetspersoner och \u00e4nnu fler m\u00e4nniskor som f\u00f6rs\u00f6rjer sig p\u00e5 fiske och turism.<\/p>\n

Optiska instrument ombord p\u00e5 rymdfarkosten uppt\u00e4cker oljefl\u00e4cken under dagen, n\u00e4r himlen \u00e4r molnfri. Radarinstrument kan uppt\u00e4cka oljefilten p\u00e5 natten och n\u00e4r det \u00e4r molnigt. Genom att tillhandah\u00e5lla information om havsv\u00e5gor och havsstr\u00f6mmar g\u00e5r det ocks\u00e5 att ber\u00e4kna hur f\u00f6roreningen kan sprida sig.<\/p>\n

Bilderna visar att oljan har fastnat i en cirkul\u00e4r str\u00f6m, vilket \u2013 \u00e5tminstone f\u00f6r tillf\u00e4llet \u2013 h\u00e5ller den p\u00e5 s\u00e4kert avst\u00e5nd fr\u00e5n st\u00f6rre delen av Florida. Samtidigt har orkans\u00e4songen b\u00f6rjat, och satelliterna h\u00e5ller utkik efter kraftiga stormar som kan f\u00f6rdr\u00f6ja arbetet med att permanent t\u00e4ppa till l\u00e4ckan.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
