In the example given of a car crashing into a reservoir, almost all of the gasoline would float to the surface and evaporate. Only a minute trace would dissolve in the water.
Yup, but how much of "minute trace" is the question
Lots of household toxic chemicals evaporate or are broken down by sunshine/nature relatively quickly
but I haven't seen anyone recommend "wait two weeks then filter that stuff and drink it", the recommendation is usually switch to bottled water.
