Descompune  petrolului din apă, ţine-l departe de maluri: acestea sunt motivele pentru introducerea de dispersanţi toxici în golf, spun cei care se ocupă de curăţare. Susan Shaw are dovezi că unele plaje sunt protejate cu costuri devastatoare pentru sănătatea adâncului oceanului.

Susan Shaw: Schimbul toxic al deversării de petrol

Massive use of chemical dispersants during oil spills may keep shorelines visibly clean but leaves a devastating toxic legacy beneath the surface. Marine mammals and fish absorb hundreds of hazardous compounds, many of which are kept secret by industry. In one case, 113 different chemicals were found in a single human blood sample, echoing the contamination seen in marine life. The long-term effects ripple through entire food webs, threatening extinction and invisible harm that regulations fail to address.
