WDSU: Empty nets in Louisiana three years later (http://www.wdsu.com/news/national/Empty-nets-in-Louisiana-three-years-later/-/9853500/19921334/-/aaasof/-/index.html)

Researchers suspect 2010 oil spill has affected insect life (http://www.wdsu.com/news/local-news/gulf-coast/researchers-suspect-2010-oil-spill-has-affected-insect-life/-/12537462/19927952/-/3a0ym9/-/index.html?absolute=true) Buried lede:
"LSU professor Eugene Turner said the compounds [naphthalene and methylnaphthlane] are aromatics that should be venting into the atmosphere. Instead, some process is creating more of them in the soil than is being allowed to be released, he said. In addition, Turner said, the problem is being found not just in heaviest-oiled areas but also in areas affected by small amounts."
