An experiment was carried out to study the infiltration of the OTH-P-3 (Hydyn) oil into the soil in two localities. Differences were found in oil infiltration in relation to the physical properties of the soil. The soil containing oil exhibited lower moisture and air content, lower specific gravity and porosity. Volume weight was increased. Growth conditions deteriorated abruptly. The quality of ground water was seriously endangered by oil infiltration. The construction of catchpits was recommended where the risk of oil spills into the environment appeared. The study reveals the danger of health damage by hydraulic oils.
