โš ๏ธ Oh wow, 50,000 barrels of radioactive "Oops!" casually tossed near the #Farallones for decades like a college kid's laundry. But don't worry folks, the #USGS is on the case, assembling "noncrisis" geological info just in time to ask, "What's the worst that could happen?" ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

Geology of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary - USGS Fact Sheet

Contamination of sediments in Boston Harbor, particularly by metals, is so widespread that its effects may be felt long after the sources of contamination are shut off. Where are toxic concentrations of metals located today? How did they get there? How will they move? These are questions that must be answered in detail before we can properly estimate risk in the environment.

Ocean Trash: 5.25 Trillion Pieces and Counting, but Big Questions Remain

Big questions remain. The numbers add up to trouble for the oceans, wildlife, and us, but scientists are struggling to understand how. The numbers are staggering: There are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean. Of that mass, 269,000 tons float on the surface, while some four billion plastic microfibers per square kilometer litter the deep sea.

Chromatographic Evidence of Lipophilic PFAS in Killer Whale Blubber

Building on the initial discovery of unidentified extractable organic fluorine (EOF) in Greenland killer whale blubber, researchers characterized EOF in additional specimens and identified some of their origins using gas chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-APCI-IMS).
