A Containment Boom is a floating barrier used to contain spills, particularly oil spills, on water surfaces. It helps prevent the spread of pollutants, allowing for easier cleanup and minimizing environmental damage. The boom is typically made from durable materials that can withstand harsh weather and water conditions. Containment booms are often deployed in rivers, lakes, and oceans during emergency response situations. They can be used in conjunction with other equipment, such as skimmers and vacuums, to effectively remove contaminants. Proper use of containment booms is essential for protecting aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality.
