Kids playing in water found to be 221 parts per million oil and walking in sand that is 211 ppm; Normal is ‘none detected’
News 5 Investigates: Testing The Water, WKRG Channel 5 Mobile/Pensacola, July 16, 2010:
More than a week has passed since Alabama’s beaches have seen significant oil… [S]ome swimmers are taking their chances.
News Five collected samples of water and sand from Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Katrina Key and Dauphin Island. To our eyes, the samples appeared normal…
Newscast Transcript Excerpts:
“When testing for oil… how much would be normal on the beach?”
[Bob Naman, analytical chemist said,] “I wouldn’t think you’d find very much on the beach. there’s no real ‘normal’ amount. normal is ‘none detected.’”… a chemist with nearly thirty years of experience… he wouldn’t expect to see any more than 5 parts per million of the greasy stuff…
Gulf Shores beach water, right where people were swimming, showed 66 parts per million. The sand, where beachgoers are walking, has 211 parts per million.
[Another] sample was a spot in Orange Beach, where again, we found kids playing. and we found our highest content of oil and petroleum. 221 parts per million. …
When Naman added an organic solvent to separate the oil from the water [collected at Dauphin Island Marina, near some boom], just like he did with all the other samples, this sample exploded right in his lab. “It was almost instantaneous. Actually, maybe one second. that’s just weird.” The result surprised even our chemist.
“We think it most likely happened, either due to the presence of methanol, or methane gas. or the presence of the dispersant, Corexit.”
Even if you don’t see oil on the beach or in the water… chances are it’s there. All of our tests from orange beach to Dauphin Island showed an abnormal presence of oil…
News 5 will [again attempt to] test that water [which exploded] for chemicals, specifically chemicals linked to the dispersant… Corexit.
Look on the bright side, folks. Now we can power our cars on water from the Gulf of Mexico!
Probably nucleophilic attack on the ester in the sulphonate in Corexit.. looks plausible. Chemist should use something a little less nucleophilic.
URGENT

I thought of a way to keep the well from “putting out”,place a large wedding band around the BOP!
Brillant and Just Investigative Journalism. America could use more FREE Media again. Becareful Obama and his communists will now have you eliminated.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants of it.
Wonder how this person living over a thousand years ago knew this?
Would you like to read the rest of the story?

Okie
WOW!!!!WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THEY TRY AND NUKE THE WELL HEAD TO CLOSE THE LEAK. I THINK WE ALL KNOW..AND SO DOES BP, GET THE HELL OUT OUT OF THERE FRIENDS. IT WILL HAPPEN ON 8-11-2010. GO GET YOUR GOOD BOOKS AND RUN.
I can’t believe people have got their kids out playing in it! Has someone perhaps been telling them the beaches are “safe” now??
And what is “safe” for humans, I wonder, as far as exposure to the oil residue and dispersants, is concerned?
I didn’t see any mention of this, in the video…
