Where is this place "Gone" that you write of? Is it near "Away"
Matter doesn't go away. Your fire wasn't hot enough to break down all the toxins, likely created some others, and the metals were unchanged. Some went into the air and drifted over your and other's property. Now life processes will concentrate that stuff, and eventually it will enter the food chain. And some will get into the water supply.
We figured this stuff out long ago, but apprently it's still a mystery to some.
So what's your point? Ban all burning? How much exhaust is acceptable, just as much as you produce? There has been jet skis,pontoons, inboards and outboards on the lake nonstop all weekend. My guess is there is a ####load more "toxins" in the water than there was Thursday. I would favor banning tourism, and all joyriding traffic on the water. That ain't gonna happen though...
