Not really. It came from the ground. Lots of things that come from the

So it's OK to dump them in the sea, too?


Dunno. Better ask God. He's been doing it for years. Try analysing
seawater some time. Loaded with radioactive natural thorium. Sea beds
full of it. Comes from decay of natural uranium.


Allegedly sulphur plumes were the original source of life.


Why not throw in a few dioxins, cyanides, phthalates and polychlorinated
biphenyls too? They can't do much harm - they are all made from things
that came out of the ground, after all.


Quite. All entirely natural materials. That will in time break down.


That's all I need to know from you. End of discussion. ;-)
