Scientists Discover Thousands of Barrels of DDT Off California Coast

I can’t believe I’ve lived in Southern California my entire life & didn’t know about this. RIP Catalina Island if we don’t do something soon.

Thousands of barrels of DDT were discovered off the coast of Los Angeles that were dumped there likely during the 50s and 60s. Now scientists are trying to figure out ways to safely remove them before it’s too late.
