Abstract: 

Water-borne pollutants, particularly those of oelaginous nature, may be treated with monomers which polymerize in the presence of moisture, preferably, monomeric esters of 2-cyanoacrylic acid. Upon polymerization, significant portions of the pollutant are incorporated within a polymer matrix, thus reducing the danger to shore and marine ecology and aesthetics.
