They're talking about tankers, not trickles. I posted those two docs for completeness, but this one posted earlier is more relevant: http://www.methanol.org/methanol/report/eval_environ.html Evaluation of the Fate and Transport of Methanol in the Environment Microsoft Word file, 203 KB, 57 pages. http://www.methanol.org/methanol/report/evaluation.doc It's just a storm in a teacup, IMO.
