Bosporus tanker pollution
Russian oil tanker
Volgoneft 248
sank at the mouth of the Bosporus strait, spilling 235,000 gallons of fuel oil. Carrying more than 4,300 tons of oil in four
containers, salvage teams hope to siphon off most of this. Already much of the spilled oil has come aground along the residential
coastline of Istanbul.
