Best Answer

No. Toxic rain happens when hazardous chemicals are turned into gas, which collects in the air. When it rains, the water washes the chemicals out of the air and brings them back to earth in the form of Acid rain. The chemicals usually get into the air as a result of materials being burned and not from the evaporation of polluted water.

Is the Exxon Valdez oil spill linked to biomagnification?

Yes, the Exxon Valdez oil spill is linked to biomagnification. The spill released a significant amount of oil into the ecosystem, which resulted in the contamination of marine organisms. Through biomagnification, the toxic compounds in the oil can accumulate and become more concentrated as they move up the food chain, posing a greater risk to predators at higher trophic levels.

Will the oil spill in the gulf reach the east coast of Florida?

For the east coast to be affected, the oil spill would have to move hundreds of miles to the south, and once around the tip of Florida, move north again. I don't want to be a spill forecaster- but this appears to be a very unlikely event as the blob is moving slowly eastward and not much to the south. The size of the spill might actually contract as efforts are made to contain it. The panhandle region of Florida is at risk and sea birds will likely suffer as a result.
