ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method for treating oil spills on water comprising applying liposomes to a body of water to form a monomolecular layer of phospholipid molecules on the water surface which phosopholipid molecules break up a continuous layer of oil into oil droplets each of which is surrounded by a monomolecular layer of phospholipids.
