#Greenpeace: We are extremely concerned about multiple #toxic hazards

"Greenpeace says it's 'extremely concerned' about 'multiple toxic hazards' from the North Sea ship collision.

"We've been reporting that the cargo ship was carrying 15 containers of the toxic chemical sodium cyanide. It is not clear if this has entered the water.

"The tanker was transporting jet fuel for the US government, some of which is spilling into the sea.

"'As more information emerges about what the ships were carrying, we are extremely concerned about the multiple toxic hazards these chemicals could pose to marine life,' Paul Johnston, a senior scientist at the Greenpeace Research Laboratories at Exeter University, tells the AFP news agency.

"'The jet fuel that entered the water close to a breeding ground for harbour porpoises is toxic to fish and other sea creatures,' he adds."

#Butterflies in the #US are disappearing at a ‘catastrophic’ rate
Butterflies are rapidly fluttering out of existence from coast to coast at a rate that scientists worry could upend #ecosystems & undercut #pollination that sustains America’s #crops.
The total number of butterflies in the contiguous US has declined 22% over a 20yr period, as shrinking #habitat, rising #temperatures & a #toxic array of #pesticides kill off the delicate insects.
