Black or White?
From Victor:But it makes you wonder though....if we are pumping our waste water through ABS (with the antibacterial stuff), won't that mean that the antibacterial would eventually end up in our oceans....
Yup, that and about a zillion other harmful things. Our very own orcas here in the Northwest are now considered one of the most toxin contaminated animals in the world's oceans. The difference is that our systems are closed. It has taken man ~300years (since the start of the industrial revolution) to get the oceans to the state they are in presently. It takes very little to throw our systems out of whack though.
FWIW, I highly doubt there is anti-bacterial in ABS. Doesn't make much sense really. I do remember reading something bad about how it is treated. With what exactly, I don't know. If I wasn't so lazy I'd look it up on Reefcentral or reefs.org.
