Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA
the oil seems to be the least of the problems rigth now. Toxic gases have escaped as well such as Benzene, Hydrogen Sulfide, as well as other toxic chemicals. Levels of Benzene in the air are at unprecedentede levels. Can cause acute myelogenous leukemia, lymphatic system cancers, and other cancers related to blood. The whole population around the volcano is at risk . From LA to Florida we will see in the future incresed rates of sickness and death because the volcano is burping out these chemicals as well as oil.
Miscarriages will be at an all time high as well in the future in the affected areas.
People in Florida all the way to LA need to honestly start contimplating about relocating to somewhere else in the USA. It is unsafe.
It is estimated that 4 million barrels per day are pumping into the gulf. BP was drilling at 30,000ft below the sea and hit a major pocket that ruptured all the safety valves. It is estimated that the back pressure was around 20,000psi. This situation is so fucked up it is honeslty beyond comprehension.

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA
25 million people need to relocate you say?
That's roughly 8 million people shy of the total population of Canada.
------------------------------
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has began round-the-clock air monitoring in Gulf coastal areas and posting online hourly readings for ozone and tiny particles such as soot. Both can cause respiratory problems and are particuarly aggravating for people with chronic conditions such as asthma.
Crude oil emits volatile organic compounds that react with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Fires being set by the Coast Guard to burn off oil on the water's surface would produce sooty, acrid smoke.
"We don't know what the impacts are going to be yet," said Dave Bary, an EPA spokesman in Dallas. "We don't know in what direction this oil will go."
The potential for unhealthy air quality depends on a variety of factors, particularly the speed and direction of winds that could disperse fumes and determine where they go, said Jonathan Ward, an environmental toxicology professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
With the leaky Gulf well some 50 miles offshore, Ward said much of the oil vapor likely wouldn't reach land, although the potential for air pollution from the slick will remain as long as the leak continues.
Public health agencies in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi advised people near the coast who experience nausea, headaches or other smell-related ailments to stay inside, turn on air conditioners and avoid exerting themselves outdoors.

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA
Relocating 25 million people is a tough task. Luckily most of your major cities have seen a sharp decline in population. I'm sure there is a way to do it. It won't be easy but I think BP should have to pay at minimum $500 Billion in clean up and relocation fees. The poor children that will be affected by this is sad. I would prefer that they lived in Denver or Baltimore or Detroit then breathe in the toxic air down there.Comment

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA
and this is at least 10 times bigger then Exxon.. So you are advocating $80,000 per person then? That would be good money to relocate wouldn't it. I mean the entire Gulf is a toxic waste dump now.Comment

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA
No they should get the same. If both parties lost their livelihood it doesn’t matter the level of the contamination, just the fact it was contaminated. It’s not like the Alaskan’s are still going to be able to work because the size of the spill was less. But when you compare that to Bhopal where 3,787 people where killed and another 8,000 died in the weeks following the disaster and the thousands are still living with the effects (Cancer/Deformed Children) it’s a whole different story. Are these people worth less because they live in a poorer country?
I suppose people could argue about the effect on wildlife in the Gulf but then no one ever complains about the wildlife that was killed in Bhopal or on 9/11 for that matterOriginally posted by res0nat0rComment
