There Are 650,000,000,000,000,000 Gallons of Water in the Gulf of Mexico
650,000,000,000,000,000, which is 650 Quadrillion.
So, I’m wondering, like a lot of us, how much do we really have to worry about? Is this real, or is this fear-mongering?
Some math:
For something to pollute that quantity of water to 1 ppm, you need 650,000,000,000 (650 billion) gallons of it.
To pollute to 1 ppb, you need 650,000,000 (650 million) gallons of it.

Two other thoughts…
First, the water in the Gulf is constantly exchanging with other, larger bodies of water, which dilutes contaminants even more.
Second, pollutants can be concentrated, by viscosity and currents and other, so maybe a broad brush doesn’t work for this.
Of course, a methane bubble explosion, or seafloor rupture, makes all the math moot.
