A current deployable floatable boom unit for accumulating oil from the surface of water. An oil monitoring device is operative to actuate the deployment of the boom unit when oil is sensed adjacent to the boom unit, which boom unit is stored out of the way.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The oil monitoring and pollutant control apparatus comprises a flexible elongated body or boom being so folded that it can be retained in a body of water by a holding line that is secured to a boat or a dock.
An oil monitoring device is mounted adjacent to the holding line so that upon detection of oil, the holding line is severed and the boom is deployed.
The ends of the boom are connected to mooring lines which in turn are connected to spaced mooring blocks to deploy the boom in a pre-determined attitude and locations for most effective use of containment of the pollutant material.
