CNN reports that all of the Americans who worked on cleaning up the Exxon Valdez spill are dead. Average life expentency for them - 50 years old.
The gases coming out of the volcano and the corexit are what is dangerous to human health.
As with everything, some people on shore are going to be more sensitive to these toxins than others. But it does not look good for the workers exposed to the chemicals and gases every day based on past experience. This is a very serious problem for Americans on the Gulf coast.
I don’t trust Obama’s government to let people know - people are going to have to do watch their own health and do their research and save themselves. I don’t think Obama gives a flying flip whether Southerners die or not. He fancies himself Lincoln; the second civil war prez.
Yeah, I feel the same way. I saw an article somewhere today that said the EPA had done tests on Corexit, and that there shouldn’t be any health concerns...but then the article revealed that the EPA hadn’t actually done tests on Corexit when it’s mixed with oil. Nice to know that on day 72 after it’s already been dumped in the water...
I do 100% agree with what you said. Obama and his administration are hiding millions of things from us and would love nothing more than for red state/oil working and living southerners dead.
Well, BP won’t provide breathing devices to the workers. They say there is no reason to. And they won’t let them bring or use their own breathing apparatus, either.
I know that at least a few of the workers on the Valdez cleanup are still alive, because they have been on TV recently talking about the long-term breathing and neurological damage they contend were the results of working on the cleanup.
