The word petroleum generally refers to crude oil or the refined
products obtained from the processing of crude oil (gasoline,
diesel fuel, heating oil, etc.) We find petroleum products in
every area of our lives. They are easily recognized in the gasoline
we use to fuel our cars and the heating oil we use to warm our
homes. However, petroleum-based components
are also used in plastics, medicines, food items, and a host of other products.
