>From what I've heard, it's a lot worse than just petroleum
products. Apparently there's a big Superfund site in New
Orleans that was covered with three feet of dirt instead of
cleaned up, and it was under several feet of water throughout
the flooding, and there is concern that the contaminants from
that site leeched into the water and spread all over the city
(and into the lake, when the city was pumped out).

Only time will tell, but it looks like it could be very, very
bad.
