Toxic air in Gulf Coast imminent? What symptoms and how could this be?


Gases such as Hydrogen Sulfide, Benzene, Methylene Chloride (or chloromethane), and other toxic gases pose a greater risk to human health than the presence of crude oil in the Gulf ara. The allowable levels of Hydrogen Sulfide and Benzene according to the EPA are 5-10 parts per billion and 0 respectively.The EPA reported the level detected in the Gulf at almost 1,200 PPB for hydrogen sulfide and 3400 PPB for Benzene during the month of May. The amounts pose a serious health risk to people and animals.


Methylene Chloride is known to cause birth defects and cancer in the lung, kidney and stomach of animals. It also causes kidney, liver and lung damage.

Symptoms being caused by overexposion of Methylene Chloride

See here for more information of Methylene Chloride here: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/c/chemical_poisoning_methylene_chloride/symptoms.htm
Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical asphyxiant, similar to carbon monoxide and cyanide gases. It causes "biochemical suffocation" by inhibiting cellular respiration and the uptake of oxygen.
Breathing high levels of hydrogren sulfide can cause the following symptoms:

Hydrogen sulfide is considered a broad-spectrum poison, meaning that it can poison several different systems in the body at the same time. As mentioned previously, hydrogen sulfide is a chemical asphyxiant. It is similar to carbon monoxide and cyanide gases. It can be extremely deadly at high concentrations.

Breathing high levels of Benzene can cause the following symptoms:

More information here.

Long-term exposure to Benzene can do a ton of damage to the human body. Benzene actually enters cells and damages DNA material. In addition, benzene is known to cause harmful effects on bone marrow and it can cause a decrease in red blood cells, leading to anemia.

For women, long-term exposure to benzene can result in irregular menstrual periods and a decrease in the size of their ovaries.

In addition, as mentioned previously, benzene is a known cancer-causing agent. In fact, the Department of Health and Human Services tells us that exposure to benzene is known to cause leukemia.

Ingredients in Corexit are known to cause cause the following symptoms: central nervous system depression, nausea, unconsciousness, on long term: liver, kidney and red blood cell damage (e.g. hemolysis). See safety data sheet of the product itself.

Check the EPA data base daily to see how these chemicals might be building up in your area.

Although it is not unlikely that especially clean up workers will experience this symptoms: please note that some of these symptoms also occur when exposed to high levels of psychological or fysiological stress which the Gulf citizens and everyone who cares about the environment will experience on this moment for sure...


Knowing that the spreading of especially Corexit (which is heavily polluting and only serves to mask the massiveness of the oil spill to keep up BP's reputation - I wrote about it here) and oil will continu for at least 3 more months since measurements started and airborne pollutants can accumulate in the environment as well as spread further inland and to other continents, this seems like the ideal recipe for an apocalyptical scenario... If I didn't know better, I would say this was the biggest terroristic attack ever on the world's population...

Needless to say that fish and animals who are residents of this waters being filled with these oxygen depleting gases could have a more bright looking future...

I'm not a believer of conspiracy theories, nor can I believe this is really truth but ... taken the health information of this gases into account I can somewhere imagine that it is possible that people may being killed by this gases. Was it maybe then true that, as many conspiracy sites state, Obama said to his counterparts during the last G8 that millions would die this year due to the unfolding oil disaster?

Again I want to insist that please people of the U.S. especially and of all nations worldwide we need to take global action for this. It is already been very clear that money still has the highest priority and no sufficient action is being taken to prevent the damage this oil leak can have on all inhabitants of our actually tiny and vulnerable Earth ... If according to you it's not yet time to organise widely protests with millions of people, I don't know when it's going to be time to protest then... We need to protest in front of those buildings where decisions of the future of all life on Earth are being taken, not tomorrow, but now already...
