News outlet CNN quoted Jim Porter, associate dean of the Eugene P. Odum School of Ecology, in an article about eroding bombs on the sea floor leaking toxic material.
“We know that these munitions are leaking cancer-causing materials and endangering sea life,” Porter said. “Any country that has a coastline and has ever had war is going to be a place where you can find this problem. If you pick up a bomb, you pick up a problem.”
