Dispersants: An Electronic Bibliography on Effectiveness, Technological Advances, and 

Toxicological Effects is an online, searchable annotated bibliography of all known published 

research on oil spill dispersants from 1960 until mid-2006 developed by Louisiana Universities 

Marine Consortium (LUMCON).  There are approximately 2,000 citations comprising the 

database including peer-reviewed research papers, government reports, conference proceedings 

and gray literature. This bibliography contains annotated citations, not complete articles. 

 

A number of steps were initiated to ensure the most comprehensive listing of citations related to 



dispersant research possible in the bibliography.  First, initial citations were compiled from the 

following commercial and public index databases: 

 



 



Scopus (Elsevier) 

 



Academic Search Premier (Ebsco) 

 



Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts) 

 



Biological Abstracts (Thompson BIOSIS) 

 



Current Contents (ISI/Thompson Scientific)  

 



Google Scholar 

 



OCLC FirstSearch 

 



Toxnet (U.S. National Library of Medicine) 

 



Zoological Record (Thompson BIOSIS) 

 

Extraneous and duplicate citations were culled in the creation of the dataset. 



 

Second, citations found in published bibliographies and selected papers were checked against the 

dataset. These included publications related to oil spills and dispersants from the National 

Research Council, as well as A Selected Bibliography on Oil Spill Dispersants (1978) and 



Literature Review on the Effects of Oil and Oil Dispersants on Fishes (1984), among others. 

 

Third, online National Library catalogs of the following countries were searched: 



 

 



Australia 

 



Canada 

 



Finland 

 



France 

 



New Zealand 

 



Norway 

 



Scotland 

 



Sweden 

 



U.K. 

 



Wales

Fourth, specialized libraries with no means of searching their collections via the web were 



contacted to provide their holdings of dispersant-related literature: 

 



 

Environment Canada 

 

Centre de Documentation de Recherche et d'expérimentations (Cedre) 



 

International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation Limited (ITOPF) 



 

Finally, publications lists found on web sites of various Government Agencies, consulting firms, 

and NGOs were searched: 

 



 

American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) 

 

Applied Science Associates, Inc. 



 

Australian Maritime Safety Agency (AMSA) 



 

Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans 



 

Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (CISTI) 



 

Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) 



 

European Maritime Safety Agency 



 

Helsinki Commission (HELCOM) 



 

International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) 



 

International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA) 



 

International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF) 



 

Interspill 



 

Petroleum Environmental Research Forum (PERF) 



 

Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council 



 

Scientific & Environmental Associates, Inc. 



 

SINTEF 



 

S.L. Ross Environmental Research Ltd. 



 

U.S. Department of Commerce, National Technical Information Service 



 

U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Technical Information Center 



 

U.S. Department of Defense, Scientific & Technical Information Network 



 

U.S. Department of Interior, Minerals Management Service 



 

U.S. Department of Transportation, Transportation Research Information Services  



 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Information Management  System 



 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Gulf Ecology Division 



 

We received invaluable guidance from leading researchers in oil spill dispersants which helped 

to identify and provide additional material included in the bibliography.  

 

All of these steps were essential in creating the most comprehensive collection of oil spill 



dispersant research in the world.
