Toxic Vapors From Gulf Oil Spill Reaching Dangerous Levels

submitted by Sagemind

1 decade 4 years 5 months ago

The EPA has been monitoring levels of Benzene, Hydrogen Sulfide and other VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) around the Gulf Coast and is finding that the gasses are reaching levels that are known to cause illness. Both BP and the Federal Government are well aware of these gasses and their health effects but all I have heard BP say about the growing number of people becoming ill is that they, "probably have food poisoning."

The EPA is posting their finding on their website at:

Edit: Forgot to mention to wait around for the second video that started as soon as this one is finished...
Thanks for reminding us "Porksandwich"

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 7:55am PDT - promote requested by kronosposeidon.

All I can do to step up and help this situation is offer my *quality so that more people learn about this.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by notarobot.

So, just when you think it can't get worse you get death clouds.

Video that follows this one is even worse. Guy goes to doctor and the doctor tells him his lungs look like he's been smoking 3 packs a day, and the dude has never smoked. All because he used his fishing boat to help with the clean up.

I guess BP looks at it like, if they can kill off the fishermen before the trials for reimbursement begins...they win.

Has there been an official statement from anyone in government or BP talking about how bad this shit is for people? It'd be a shame to find out after all of the clean up crews and people living there have had lethal doses of this stuff and are forced to wait it out as their bodies shutdown over the next 10 and 15 years.

*fear

Adding video to channels (Fear) - requested by cybrbeast.
