We do chemistry in organic solvents.

However, these solvents were identified as carcinogenic.

Oil is a stew of hydrocarbon molecules.

The solvents in them do that very efficiently.

You'll never hear a hydrocarbon company talking about nuclear.

Corexit also contains petroleum solvents and many other toxic compounds.

These solvents, due to their volatility, evaporate into the atmosphere when used.

The petrochemical industry, the hydrocarbon industry spends a lot of money advertising.

So what we're doing, we're putting compounds with petroleum solvents onto a petroleum spill.

And then you get down to the petroleum distillates, which are the solvents, hundreds of them.

There, workers turn them into products, using loads of toxic chemicals, like PVC, mercury, solvents and flame retardants.

Oil contains hundreds of hydrocarbon compounds and other compounds that are toxic to every organ in the body.

As the pressure grew, so did the heat, until a chemical reaction transformed the organics into hydrocarbon fossil fuels

And what happens first is the solvents break into the oil, the lipid membrane, they let the surfactants in there.

So if you take, say, natural gas, which is the most prevalent hydrocarbon source fuel, if you burn that in a modern

But in order to do this, one of the things we really need to do, is we need to remember we are people of the hydrocarbon.

What it turned out, that all that we are seeing, all this liquid, is made of hydrocarbon and ethane and methane, similar to what you put in your car.

And it turns out that ants will respond to the right rate of contact with a glass bead with hydrocarbon extract on it, as they would to contact with real ants.

Because, many of you will know, that the biggest pollution burden that we have on the New York, New Jersey harbor right now is no longer the point sources, no longer the big polluters, no longer the GEs, but that massive network of roads, those impervious surfaces, that collect all that cadmium neurotoxin that comes from your brake liners or the oily hydrocarbon waste in every single storm event and medieval infrastructure washes it straight into the estuary system.
