Really EXCELLENT blog about the Gulf Oil Spill...
reaction to EPA/BP "findings" about air and water quality in Gulf...
http://www.epa.gov/bpspill/

http://cricketdiane.wordpress.com/

My Note -

Any chance that water in which animals and birds die would indicate to the EPA that it is toxic and lethal – and that those waters include dangerous pollutant chemicals? You know, like the petroleum and oil mixed dispersants and dispersants – all of which are known to be toxic chemicals and lethal. You can’t drink it without dying – you can’t sniff fumes from any petroleum products without brain damage and lung damage and liver damage and maybe dying – how could the EPA tests monitoring the air and water quality not show any of what we know about these dangerous substances that petroleum is and absolutely is – and not show anything dangerous in their samples – how could they give a clean bill of health to places polluted with known toxic chemicals?

That is a betrayal of trust and mission given to the EPA – bit of illegal here and there as well. And it is in violation of federally mandated laws and regulations about water quality, air quality, pollution, and massive spills of pollutants, as well.

It looks like it is time to get the attorney generals of the states along the Gulf Coast to hold the EPA accountable for disseminating lies and falsehoods about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that will directly and permanently damage the health and well-being of their citizens before things get any worse.

And, I don’t care what the “new” OSHA crap says or the EPA and BP air and water monitoring – these chemical hazards are there in that water and in that air and in that sediment. It is lethal and toxic. It is killing the animals, the marine wildlife, the birds, the sea turtles and other aquatic life and it will kill more people if they don’t stop dicking around with the pretense that it is safe when it is not and sending people out without the proper protective breathing gear, breathing protection, respirators, chemical gas masks and eye protection. And, telling people the truth about it.
