I mean the US government itself was dumping mustard gas and other toxic chemicals into this area for decades.

Not sure the DDT ranks that high of concern.

The studies linking aquatic harm are actually better than the studies linking terrestrial or avian harm. As it's poorly soluble in water it just sorta hangs around and kills fish. This was known all the way back in the 1940's https://spo.nmfs.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/legacy-pdfs/CI...

DDT has a long persistence in the environment, longer than mustard.

Sure but mustard kills you dead real quick. And is slowly leaking even decades later. It hasn’t gone away.

Agreed mustard is terrible. We should get that cleaned up immediately as well.

Weird that you think this is some sort of completion, weirder that you picked a side.

If your goal is just to cluck your tongue on the internet, then yeah, it's not a competition.

If you're looking to spend limited resources addressing it, spending it on the worse situation is just smart.
