Fate and weathering facts observed/reported
Acrylonitrile is toxic, flammable and explosive. When in fire, it gives off toxic fumes. It did cause damage to the marine biota, but not at all as much as it was believed. The boat had to be cut in two after lightering its cargo. About half of the acrylonitrile cargo was recovered. The other half had leaked out and rather quickly dispersed into the sea. Environmental monitoring continued during the whole operation over 2 months.

HNS Classification (2010 HNS Convention)
Fate and weathering facts observed/reported
Dodecylbenzene is not regarded as a marine pollutant and was therefore left untreated. When in fire, it gives off toxic fumes. It did cause damage to the marine biota, but not at all as much as it was believed. The boat had to be cut in two after lightering its cargo. Environmental monitoring continued during the whole operation over 2 months.
