Someone is pulling your leg in a major way, as both CharlesWayneCT and Wonder Warthog have pointed out.

For example, look at the EPA's air monitoring page:
http://www.epa.gov/bpspill/air.html

The results of sampling for Florida are at http://www.epa.gov/bpspill/data/air_sampling_update.pdf
I think someone might not understand the units in use, too. These are in micrograms per cubic meter.
Funny aside: note that someone tried to copy ug/m3 down, and it made ug/m4, ug/m5, etc. :-) With all the money they spend, it's sad they are entering data by hand and have such a clunky interface.

And check out the USGS earthquakes: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/10/275_30.php

Clean as a whistle when I look.

Gondring:
Pulling their leg is putting it mildly. There is so much bull shit circulating about the Internet regarding the spill I am fast reaching a point where I am going to just ignore the crap and watch the increased activities by the twelve ROVs.
As far as I am can see, BP is working around the clock to get every last little thing in place in order to cap the well shortly.
And one can with an honest mind discuss why they where not allowed to reach this point way sooner, but the point is they may soon effectively install a leak proof cap and simply pump oil and gas to the surface vessels in the remaining days before the final dead kill is performed.
There will be plenty of time for debate once the final verdicts are shown as to who screwed the pooch.
But since the cat is out of the bag.....Happy Birthday Ernest. May the good Lord give you many healthy ones to yet be.
