Thanks Sol. The article i read did not specify which Trona mine got polluted from petroleum leaks. Melly

I think it would be a crap shoot to avoid it even if you knew which mine. Don't forget 90-95% of ALL the soda ash in the U.S. is produced here. I'm not certain any petroleum would be removed in the refining, but suspect it would be. And I'd think that synthetically produced soda ash would be more likely to contain contaminants.

Also, keep in mind it would have been huge news had a mine here gotten flooded with petroleum contaminants. If some leaked in, it would be in a small area of a mine, and I can't imagine it would have been deep. And there is so much trona, I'd bet they just would not mine that area..........it would be a huge fire hazard, but that is just my guess.

I could easily be wrong, but this sounds to me like mis-information designed to push marketing of a particular type of baking soda.
