Par Jean-Luc Goudet, Futura-Sciences 23 août 2010 Vingt ans de mesures des déchets en plastique dans l'Atlantique nord montrent que la quantité est élevée... mais il en manque. Ou bien les humains gèrent de mieux en mieux leurs déchets, ou bien cette pollution part se camoufler en des endroits inconnus des scientifiques, peut-être, par exemple, le tube digestif d'animaux marins. Après la matière noire des astronomes, voici le plastique manquant des océanographes. Selon une équipe […]
Le Monde 20.08.10 Un long panache aux reflets brunâtre de 35 km de long, 2 km de large et 200 m d'épaisseur, à 900 m sous la surface de l'océan... Il n'existe pas encore d'images de ce "nuage", mais sa composition est bien connue. La nappe d'eau souillée par le pétrole du puits contient 50 microgrammes par litre d'hydrocarbures hautement toxiques. L'existence de cette nappe, étudiée par la Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a relancé les interrogations sur le devenir des 780 […]

The Examiner Since the BP Macondo well responsible for the largest oil spill in US history was temporarily capped on July 15th, media attention has been focused elsewhere. But like a cat that can’t be trusted in the same room with a mouse, BP may have used the closed eyes of the media to hide what Daily Kos Well watchers are calling - a problem. “The Skandi feeds, which have shown the wellhead virtually full time for weeks, are now blank.” Three days ago, the BP live feed of the wellhead […]

JOSEF HEBERT 07/31/10 WASHINGTON — The U.S. Coast Guard has routinely approved BP requests to use thousands of gallons of toxic chemical a day to break up oil slicks in the Gulf of Mexico despite a federal directive that the chemicals be used only rarely on surface waters, congressional investigators said Saturday after examining BP and government documents.

It was pretty clear we wouldn't be hearing from them again after that," said Bob Shipp, head of marine sciences at the University of South Alabama. "We didn't like the perception of the university representing BP in any fashion." For the last few weeks, BP has been offering signing bonuses and lucrative pay to prominent […]
