Toxins that are released into the air from evaporating oil and dispersants may pose a greater health risk to clean-up workers and Gulf residents than oily water when the thickest parts of the oil slick wash ashore.
The Institute for Southern Studies (ISS) reported as early as May 10 that, “the latest evaluation of air monitoring data shows a serious threat to human health from airborne chemicals emitted by the ongoing deep water gusher.”
A report published by the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN) analyzed data released by the EPA taken from a testing site in Venice, LA between April 26 and May 26 (see chart). The results show unsafe levels of both Hydrogen Sulfide and VOCs in the air.
There have been rumors, reports and talk of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) developing plans to evacuate the Gulf coast for up to 200 miles inland if the air becomes too toxic to breathe. While that would obviously be a worst-case scenario, if it is true that the government is even considering that possibility, then that also may be cause for alarm.

Scary stuff. This is going to get far worse before it gets better.
Just like you said........
The "physical symptom" from H2S is that you can SMELL IT. It is NOT dangerous until levels 100X higher than those given.
And both of the organizations quoted are far left/green. The truth is not to be had from such sources.

can’t be anywhere near as bad as the toxic cloud DC is spreading over the country...
Knowing how the humidity and heat can intensify any odors, being there day after day breathing those fumes, couldn’t be a picnic.
What about the stuff you can’t smell?
200 miles inland is pretty much the entire state of Florida.
Oh great, so we’re back to the miasma theory of health care now. Let me know when they bring back bloodletting....
I wonder truly indeed if a hurricane would actually help wash the Gulf clean.
If so then it could start with creating huge man made dust storms off the east coast of Africa.
That’s okay. Eric Holder’s law firm will start the lawsuits soon.
Being less than half a mile from the Gulf, this is not good news for Mr. & Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet. She just had a stroke in April, neither one of us in great shape, don’t need any more problems. Thanks, hard-working chief executive (or is that golfer-in-chief?)
Like the little boy that cried wolf, I no automatic believe it when some experts tells me the world is coming to an end.
This all may be true, or it may be partially true or it may be entirely false. We can no longer trust those that wish to warn us since they may have an agenda our friends in the media do not report.
Probably not good for the fishies though...
Hey, we’ve been putting up with toxins in the air from the MSM for decades.
This is just jury conditioning in preparation for the multiple lawsuits to follow. I am reminded of how the dust from the collapsing towers of the World Trade Center became a deadly culprit several years afterwards. They claimed the responders were not adequately warned or equipped. This stuff on the gulf is the same.
