NEW FEATURED VIDEO: Veteran Toxicologist Warns of Increased Risk of Cancer and Birth Defects Tied to Later Stages of Spill; Unprotected Cleanup Workers at Highest Risk, Dr. William Sawyer, November 29, 2010:
A leading member of my research team, veteran toxicologist Dr. William Sawyer, has done extensive research into the human health effects of the spill, particularly toxic exposures. He warns of the grave health risks tied to the later stages of an oil spill, when we see things like tar balls and weathered crude floating on the surface. Although the oil has stopped flowing, there remain serious health risks in the Gulf. And we feel the lack of information and research coming from the government at this point is simply unacceptable given the high level of risk to a potentially huge group of people.
Dr. Sawyer: “…oil at the surface and in the tar balls…is contaminated with higher percentages of toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), some of which we’ve measured are carcinogens…Thus, this oil exposure is more toxic than that of fresh version crude.”
Transcript Excerpts
Release is somewhat unique in that the oil at the surface and in the tarballs and other matrices that we've tested is contaminated with higher percentages of toxic PAHs...
Thus this oil exposure is more toxic than that of fresh crude...
Health consequences of dermal contact related to weathered BP crude is probably that of probable human carcinogens chrysene and benzo[b]fluoranthene that have been measured predominantly throughout the samples tested.
Health effects of those two compounds are increased risk of cancer, chromosomal aberrations, genetic damage.
It is insidious, latent response... that is a person that's been chronically exposed may have no adverse effects for several years until malignancy develops.
The second avenue is that of inhalation...
Just curious, what happens when seawater from the BP Oil Spill area (Gulf of Mexico) is used in watermakers. Tampa area watermaking facilities have intakes under the surface of the bay--do the membranes filter out the oil particles, PAHs, and other oil contamination? Do understand the oil will damage boat watermakers..just wonder if the major water supply is also affected by the same problems. Has the water supply been tested to insure NO oil product or dispersants are in the drinking supply?
it's all starting to make sense now....

Check this out- researcher from Texas A&M as well as head of BP Gulf restoration both killed in plane crash in Gulf over Thanksgiving holiday. The two, as well as the pilot, A Texas attorney, were all related. Another Matt Simmons hush hush job, perchance?

A very interesting article from Phoenix Rising From The Gulf web site.

It seems to be what is, no satellite photos, New oil washing ashore in La. Videos show dispersant still being used at well site that is videoed. Gov. acting like there was never a oil volcano. Matt Simpson appears to have been correct with his inside knowledge.

These articles go a long way in proving Matt Simmons knew the truth.

beleiver for a long time, I saw it via rover, ... THIS NEEDS TO BE VERIFIED !! Floor leaking ??
To Gulf Oil Spill on Friday, July 16, 2010 ... http://beforeitsnews.com/story/104/276/THIS_NEEDS_TO_BE_VERIFIED_Floor_leaking.html

Yes indeed
The floor is not only leaking but there have been attempts by bp to grout the floor and spread the leaks out unsuccessfully. As the leaks build there have been an amazing number of explosions.
Check out this site for lots of video proof and BK's site:

BK narrates what is going on with the explosions in abovetopsecret
Yes reading the Phoenix link now, Have done some posting on his sight in the past exchanging inf. Have seen them "number of explosions" some very violent ! More then worrisome back then. Thanks for the new updates. Believe me, I want to exit Fl. Six ft. above sea level ! And the tap water is dark yellow again here, haver to call and have them flush the lines again ! Tremors ?
