This estimate does not include the coastal oil trench and coastal oil deposit as contamination in those areas was not caused by invasion related oil spills modelled by OSCAR.

In order to determine the oil contamination remaining in the mudflats, Kuwait conducted a comprehensive shoreline survey.

The Panel notes that the mudflats are characterized by low levels of oil contamination, and the evidence provided is not sufficient to demonstrate that the contamination is causing environmental damage.

12. Preliminary chemical analysis provided some indication of wide spread, low level oil contamination of the fine grained sediments.

Kuwait uses an integrated set of computer models to estimate oil contamination in marine areas from the oil spills and to calculate the associated losses of biomass.

The third claim unit is for damage to cultural heritage resources in Iran caused by contamination from the oil well fires.

The bulk of the preserve should consist of intertidal supratidal habitats similar to those most affected by invasion related oil contamination.

The Panel notes that the presence of mines and other ordnance initially prevented the removal of nearby oil contamination, and reconstruction operations in the oil fields further delayed remediation efforts.

In the view of the Panel, the estimated magnitude of oil contamination (4.7 square kilometres) is also consistent with current observations of invasion related shoreline contamination (0.8 square kilometres) identified in Kuwait's monitoring and assessment studies, taking into account likely reductions in the extent of contamination during the intervening years.

The Panel finds that there is evidence that there was extensive oil contamination and environmental damage of Saudi Arabia's shoreline in 1991.

As previously noted by the Panel, there is evidence that contamination from the oil well fires in Kuwait reached some parts of Iran.

According to Kuwait, the output from the models indicates oil contamination to 4.7 square kilometres of shoreline habitat, at varying degrees of severity.

The preserves should consist of intertidal supratidal habitats similar to those that are most affected by oil contamination from the invasion and occupation.

No significant contamination was detected.

We picked up radioactive contamination.

However, the Panel notes that there are differences in the severity of oil contamination, losses in ecological services and expected recovery times in different areas.

In order to assess the oil contamination on its shoreline resulting from invasion related oil spills, Kuwait applies the models that it uses in its assessment of lost aquatic biota as described in paragraph 434 above.

No more contamination of our sea..

The second claim unit is for damage to or depletion of terrestrial and agricultural resources in Iran caused by contamination from the oil well fires in Kuwait.

The risk is microbial and viral contamination.

Iraq further contends that Kuwait has contributed to damage to the aquifers because it failed to take timely and appropriate steps to remove the adjacent oil lakes and oil recovery pits that are alleged to have caused the groundwater contamination.

Kuwait also states that the impact of oil contamination on the remaining areas of mudflats is uncertain and that the mudflats are a fragile but critically important biological area.

Drinking water contamination may be local in effect.

Kuwait states that the OSCAR is a state of the art model which has been applied in many parts of the world and compares its model results to a limited set of observations of oil contamination following the invasion related oil spills.

Microbiological contamination of water sources is a common problem in many countries and chemical contamination (notably arsenic and fluoride) is increasingly a concern.

Iraq further objects to Saudi Arabia's use of oil contamination levels as a means for quantifying the extent of damage, pointing out that exposure is not considered sufficient to demonstrate injury .

This cover protects the internal moving parts from contamination

If contamination occurs chuck life can be significantly reduced

Moreover, advances have pointed towards greater understanding of not only the extent of mine and UXO contamination but also the impact of such contamination.

The Panel also found that the damage from oil contamination to the shoreline between the Kuwait border and Abu Ali constituted environmental damage directly resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

Based on information from studies published in the scientific literature, Saudi Arabia estimates that 100,000 wading birds were killed either directly by oil contamination or indirectly because of the loss of forage.

Iraq accepts that data presented by Kuwait indicate possible remaining oil contamination in certain locations in the upper intertidal zone of Northern Kuwait Bay that could be a result of the 1991 conflict.

Protection of groundwater from contamination and water resource management issues.

I sought only to preserve our country from your contamination.

This system is efficient without the possibility of a second contamination.

Saudi Arabia states that the diseases were caused by the contamination of grass, weeds and water in the grazing area as a result of the deposition of lead and sulphur from the Kuwait oil well fires.

Severe doses were received from direct radiation and from the localized contamination.

This will avoid contamination of the waycover seals with the sticky residue

Full isolation of the body is important to prevent possible contamination of others.

The baking process is thought to reduce the bacterial contamination, precluding negative effects.

The Programme is concerned with the contamination of seafood and coastal bathing areas.

Let's stop blaming the plant products when there's an E. coli, Salmonella contamination.

Olive oil, pickles! Olive oil, pickles!

Refined olive pomace oil oil obtained by refining crude olive pomace oil.

Now I know some of you may be thinking, Oil, oil, oil.
