I have read where the first few minutes of a rain are the most polluted.
That is because the atmosphere contains airborne particles of all kinds and as the first rain drops fall they connect with and drag to the surface those particles.
After a few minutes the air is pretty much cleaned out and the rain is pure.
However, given that the massive oil slick has somewhat evaporated in a massive way, it could be that the clouds themselves are polluted and all the rain that falls from the skies above the slick are dangerous from start to finish?
