Endangered Oil workers cleaning up are in Danger.
Danger from Spill
Not only are workers getting sick but they are showing symptoms of Exposure to the Dispersant being used. If you were to read the MSDS sheets on the corexit(both being used) it would correspond to the symptoms of the sick workers. Listen folks, The people handling this suck. Now there talking of just giving out respirators. Not a mention of what type of respirator, Positive,Negative,powered,or supplied air. Not a mention of what type of filters. And not a damn word about training being done for wearing a respirator. Right on the damn MSD sheets will show anyone who can read what measures to take for protection, to include PPE. Personal Protection Equipment.
Someone please take care of these workers. Ignorant bastards in charge, they should be there handling this shit.
Let's be clear about this, the oil in of itself is a hazard and must be handled accordingly. If anyone knows anybody who can get this message to the assholes in charge please let them know about it. Meanwhile I'll try and contact my Congressman. Not that will do any good.

Well that about summed it up! :(
The crude alone makes you wretch. Really nasty ... you can't taste any salt in the water, either... isn't that terrifying? If you read Firedoglake... then you know, the 'clean up' of this massive mess isn't being coordinated by the gov or BP, this slip through the cracks kind of no administration is too tragic to ponder. ***sigh***
If it keeps going more than a third of the ocean could be a dead zone.
Gwen so very nice of you to stop by.
Thank you
