Oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill swirls in various colours in shallow water on East Grand Terre Island, Louisiana June 8, 2010. (Xinhua/Reuters Photo) BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Scientists confirmed that a wide area of undersea particulate oil has been found dozens of miles from the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico, media reported on Wednesday. University of South Florida (USF) scientists working for NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, confirmed the existence of an undersea oil plume about 25 miles northeast of the blown-out British Petroleum (BP) well. They said the oil concentrations were low, in the form of dissolved hydrocarbons. "There has been the issue raised about whether all the oil was on the surface or not. Clearly, our scientists have now gathered evidence that there is oil below the surface of the water in the deep parts of the gulf of Mexico." USF spokeswoman Vickie Chachere said, adding that this oil still may impact marine life. While a conclusive link has not yet been made between the undersea oil plumes and the BP leak, Chachere noted that circumstantial evidence existed. "In this particular area where we drew those samples, scientists a year ago doing surveys had drawn water samples and had found no dissolved hydrocarbons in that area. So we know this is a new feature out in the Gulf, " Chachere said. USF said additional tests will be made on the water samples. Its research vessel, the Weatherbird II, is expected to return to the area around the spill soon.Underwater oil plumes spreading - China Lifepo4 Rechargeable Battery - China Cell Phone Data CableUnderwater oil plumes spreading - China Lifepo4 Rechargeable Battery - China Cell Phone Data CableUnderwater oil plumes spreading - China Lifepo4 Rechargeable Battery - China Cell Phone Data CableUnderwater oil plumes spreading - China Lifepo4 Rechargeable Battery - China Cell Phone Data CableUnderwater oil plumes spreading - China Lifepo4 Rechargeable Battery - China Cell Phone Data Cable I am an expert from ppbattery.com, while we provides the quality product, such as China Lifepo4 Rechargeable Battery , China Cell Phone Data Cable, Rechargeable Lead Acid Batteries,and more.
