Dr Mariann Lloyd-Smith comments on Dart Energy and their activities in Scotland

Mariann describes the Benzene levels produced by a handful of Dart Energy exploration wells as extraordinary and very worrying. The Benzene levels Dart Energy are displaying on their website exceed World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines for drinking water and are 12 times the UK and Australian drinking water standards. Most experts agree that there is no safe level for Benzene in drinking water. It would appear that Dart Energy and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) assume that once discharged the effluent will have no effect on the ecosystem of the estuary or the human population around it.
