Oil Means More Arsenic In Seawater

oxi writes "Besides the oil already spilling into the Gulf of Mexico at the rate of up to 60,000 barrels daily, a group of British scientists says one can expect to see elevated levels of arsenic as well. The research, published in the journal Water Research, showed that oil prevents naturally-occurring arsenic from being filtered out of the water by the sediment on the ocean floor."

Re:It's not just BP down there is it?

You don't seem to understand. BP is spending much more trying to hide the oil, not actually clean it up. It would be wise to move the corporate pinheads out of the picture (and possible into prison for their criminal neglect) so we can at least perform a legitimate inspection of the damage being done.
