Abstract

Numerous methods exist for cleaning up oil spills along with their after effect as well as large financial
burden. Oil exploration has large economic benefits; however these benefits are associated with environmental issues
arising from oil spills. Hence, the shift to methods that are environmentally friendly and cost effective is important.
This paper investigates the analysis of adsorption capacity of human hair. Hence, human hair can be altered into boom
to clean up oil spills. After the adsorption of oil on hair booms, these booms can be utilized in cultivating the
mushrooms as mushrooms require oil for their growth. Hence the adsorbed oil can be restored by cultivating
mushroom.
