A Boston lab hired by the United Commercial Fishermen’s Association to analyze coastal fishing waters says findings suggest the government’s claim that Gulf of Mexico seafood is safe to eat may be premature.
The lab,
Boston Chemical Data Corp., said it found dispersant in a sample taken near Biloxi, Miss., almost a month after
BP said it had stopped using the toxic chemical to break up the record amounts of crude spewed by the Gulf oil spill. The leak was finally capped on July 15.
The lab posted its data today on the website of the
Louisiana Environmental Action Network in a move that could fuel the debate over the status of the cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico…..
“Why on Aug. 9 did we find on a relatively concentrated pool of dispersant on the surface, well outside where the dispersant was going to be sprayed? It shouldn’t have been there,” Kaltofen told AOL News. He added that the high concentration in the sample suggested the dispersant was not carried inland from open water.
... The EPA has taken 300 water samples near shore, and found one "indication of a possible dispersant constituent near Louisiana," according to an e-mail from the agency.

While the Feds claim they have found only on "possible dispersant constituent"
in the real world several different independent labs all over are finding both oil and dispersants in their tests.
