Posted Sun Mar 1 2009: from PressTV (Iran):


	Persian Gulf faces possible environmental crisis http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1235944344 The Persian Gulf has been polluted by more than 5,000 cubic meters of toxic industrial waste including heavy metals. The waste material from Mobin Petrochemical Company, located in Assaluyeh in southern Iran, has been discharged into the Persian Gulf without being treated, Iran's Environmental News Agency reported. The news report added that the petrochemical company's waste materials are toxic and replete with hazardous industrial materials.... According to the latest studies, the level of the pollution in The Persian Gulf as a semi-closed sea is 47 times more than the open seas and the water in eastern coast of the area contains more pollutants.

Surely the petrochemical companies have inadvertently been releasing those petrochemicals.
