Quote:Define "significant" damage.  Do you mean biologically significant or statistically significant? Most of the short chain alkanes in oil will be photo-oxidized, or respired by hydrocarbon degrading bacteria, but that is only one fraction of crude oil. The other fractions containing cycloalkanes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are more recalcitrant to degradation, and those are the ones that can
 accumulate in animal tissues. I know because I've worked with with these microorganisms. 
 

That's all you're going to comment on? This was about the EPA. Way to pick out one tiny side comment, the accuracy of which had no bearing on the EPA, and argue about it.


Significant is noticeable. There has been no noticeable long-term environmental damage from the oil leak, and not even much short term damage. In any case the EPA contributed nothing to preventing this.


 

"Can" is a weasel word. Anything "can" happen. Have any animals actually been found to have toxic levels of PAHs because of the spill?
