You can pee in the grass and it'll make it the groundwaterNope. The grass will absorb it first. And besides, do dry cleaners dump perc "in the grass"? Oil doesn't "mix" either, but you still can't dump it can you? You're comparing long-chain aliphatic compounds to chlorinated carbon compounds (can't say "hydrocarbons" because there are no hydrogens in perc). You spill perc on the ground, it evaporates. You need to pour perc into a hole and cover the hole for it to reach the groundwater. |
