LOS ANGELES, May 1 (Xinhua) In the latest chapter in a decades-old pollution scandal that spawned one of the worst toxic waste sites in America, ocean scientists said early this week that they had found approximately 27,000 barrels on the ocean floor in Los Angeles s coastal waters that were believed to contain DDT, the toxic pesticide banned in the United States in 1972.
Prompted by widespread reports of historic toxic dumping and lingering concerns from researchers and scientists, University of California San Diego s Scripps Institution of Oceanography researchers searched for a rumored undersea toxic dump site by mapping over 56 square miles (145 square kilometers) of the California seabed between Los Angeles and Catalina Island in March. ....

The discovery of tens of thousands of underwater barrels containing what scientists believe to be chemical waste has raised alarm and reopened scrutiny into a history of toxic dumping that persisted off the California coast into the 1970s.
A team of scientists announced this week that they had found more than 25,000 containers, many of which they believe to be DDT waste, which has been linked to cancer and disease in humans and mass die off events in the natural world. The barrels cover a seafloor area double the size of Manhattan off the coast of the Santa Catalina Island, near Los Angeles. ....
