Petroleum The main danger of transporting petroleum is the risk of oil spills. Oil spills are devastating to local wild life no matter where. If you spill oil in the ocean, it takes a lot of work to put the ecosystem back to normal The other risk of transporting Petroleum is that the fact that it can catch on fire easily and fire is a huge hazard to anyone transporting Petroleum
