menace n. 威脅,恐嚇
BP oil spill call attention to the growing menace of oil pollution at sea.
BP漏油事件引起了對海洋油污染的注意。
Suggestions:
You need to change the verb tense. "Called" or even "calls" would both work depending on if you view the spill as a past event (called) or an ongoing event (calls).
The BP oil spill called attention to... OR
BP's oil spill called attention to...
Because you are talking about a specific event you also need the definite article (The) or have something that distinguishes this oil spill from any other oil spill (BP's).
Because it is a big news event now you could merely say "The oil spill" or, if you want more people to know what you are talking about, you could be more descriptive and say "BP's Gulf oil spill."

All of the phrases look like they are used correctly.
