Sort of... (come on, some geek had to come out and say it). Legos are made from ABS plastic. The Acrylonitrile bit are usually derivatized from gases - acrylonitrile from propylene from cracked propane, and the Butadiene bit more often these days (but not always - depends on your feed stream) from ethylene made from cracked ethane . The 'S' bit, styrene, is produced from benzene (which is very, very bad juju) which indeed comes from Erl, as it is pronounced here in the deep south. Sorry, no offense intended, but what's breakfast without a bit of a science lesson?

caught the tail end of a report on npr this morning.

fort worth has been testing air quality around gas wells. apparently they have found 2 bad wells in fort worth so far. of course, they're in the poorest parts of town. of course they're saying the benzene levels aren't actually high enough to cause any damage.

My god, there are toxins in oil? No shit. they dragged out a 5 minute speech for nearly an hour, what a waste of time.

Here are the cliffnotes:

The pressure in the well far exceeded normal well pressures, possibly up to 70,000 psi (normally it's more like 1,200), bursting all the safety valves

H2S safe levels 5 ppb - in air currently (measured by EPA) 1200 ppb
benzene safe levels 0-4ppb - in air 3000 ppb
methylene chloride safe levels 61ppb - current levels 3000-3400 ppb

This is terrible news (the radio show), there are a few peices of good info but the scare tactics are so very annoying, it's as if they think their audience has an average IQ of < 40. Oh nm i listened further, after about the 40 minute mark Lindsay Williams reveals his religious beliefs and how the rich elite are part of the occult and other exciting things, now I know why he speaks the way he does.
