Barge crash in St Lawrence

[Mr Adams]

Calcium Chrloride mmmmmm maybe it will spark fresh water coral growth.

CaCl would not increase the nitrogen in the water. The biological impact of Ca and Cl would be different than nitrogen fertilizer.

It is readily apparent to someone who read my post I was not making the direct link but instead offering another example of an, "Oh don't worry!", approach to water (sorry that is H20 to you) resource management when I mentioned nitrogen and fertalizers.

Can the lame periodical table nerd stuff will yah. It doesn't float here.

 

[Mr Adams]

No need to worry, the stuff is harmless is small amounts. I use to add it to my salt water aquarium to increase the calcium levels some time back.

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood. But I think you also misunderstood what I was getting at. I am not suggesting that the dumping of chemicals in the lake in general is acceptable since it will get diluted away, but rather that the specific substance in this instance, CaCl, is likely not to be harmful given this one instance. So unless it was constantly happening, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

..........About 12-thousand gallons of the calcium chloride leaked into the water. It is used to make winter road salt.

It was going to get washed into the seaway anyhow. Just not all at once like it did.

Chief Science Officer Warren_L declares it to be safe but without any reason as why his claim should be considered the truth.

I can blurt out that I have discovered cold fusion but people would expect me to back my claim somehow.

I'm not sure what I did to piss you off d33ps1x, and for that I apologize.

I was just suggesting that given the quantity of CaCl compared to the amount of water in the seaway, the concentrations would be so dilute that it probably wouldn amount to much of an impact. I in no way am saying that this is the gospel truth.

It is safe to you and me while underwater, but the dust from Calcium Chloride is rather caustic and one mans opinion means nothing in todays world.

And a woman's opinion means everything.... Just ask "L".

Yep, you are right. So is the dust from NaCl. But if it is as dilute as it is, then it shouln't be an issue.
