Incorrect. Petroleum is totally worse. While people have so far found plastics in our testicles, eyes and brains, petroleum contains benzene, toluene, and xylene which are readily absorbed by the body and are known carcinogens and liver killers…fatty liver? Diabetes? Cirrhosis? Cancer, sterilization, immunosuppression.
Plastics release plasticizers like BPA which are carcinogenic but ever so much more slowly than if you just drank water that sipped from a road next door… Or your roof, we’re so stupid, the most popular place to use tar is our roofs…
Anyway, petroleum is immediately toxic and terrible for the environment. The water from roads is called runoff. That masks the fact that it contains all roof and road petroleum toxin residue from every roof and road…yey fish!
