“Scientists found elevated levels of Anthracene, a toxic hydrocarbon and a by-product of petroleum. The Anthracene levels were double what the FDA finds to be acceptable.”
Would`nt matter to a lot of people in here. They would happily feed it to their kids.
Garbage. Just because some of us actually understand the underlying science and speak against the eco-nuts exaggerations and falsehoods does NOT mean we support releases of toxins.
The question that has to be asked here is "why just anthracene?" There are many other compounds in crude oil, some very similar to anthracene, that should ALSO have been found at elevated levels if the exposure had arisen from the BP spill. They were not. Why not???
