Incredible amounts of Benzene are being released into the atmosphere and is a clear and present danger not only for the old and people with respiratory problems but the general Gulf population as a whole. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that benzene is a human carcinogen, and can cause various forms of cancer from prolonged exposure. Exposed to high levels of benzene show association with leukemia cancer; including acute myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, and chronic myelogenous leukemia. Benzene-related leukemias have been reported to develop in as short as nine months. Benzene evaporates into air very quickly and dissolves slightly in water. Most people can begin to smell benzene in air at 1.5-4.7 parts of benzene per million parts of air (ppm) and smell benzene in water at 2 ppm. If you can smell the oil slick (which many have reported, days before it physically reached the shore line) you are receiving 500 times the maximum safe level. Brief exposure (5-10 minutes) to very high levels of benzene in air (10,000-20,000 ppm) can result in death. Lower levels (700-3,000 ppm) can cause drowsiness, dizziness, rapid heart rate, headaches, tremors, confusion, and unconsciousness. In most cases, people will stop feeling these effects when they are no longer exposed and begin to breathe fresh air. This is much more serious than they are letting on, especially as one of the options here is to burn the escaping oil! Plans to evacuate the Tampa Bay area are expected to be announced in the coming days as FEMA prepares for what is now being called the worst oil disaster in the history of the world.
Dr. R. Michael Castle, one of the top independent polymer chemists in the US, has been following "this nightmare of incompetence and greed" as he told me, since the oil rig explosion on April 11. Dr. Castle is also the author of "The Methodic Demise of Natural Earth," a ground-breaking essay on what is happening to our planet's environment with the out-of-control and illegal spraying of highly toxic aerosol Chemtrails over the past twelve years.(6) He is also author of the 2003 Unified Atmospheric Protection Act (now tied up in Congressional committee). With his extensive polymer chemistry background, Dr. Castle clearly understands the enormous ecological chemical devastation that continues right now unabated. The following is my conversation with him on May 25, 2010.
"What can be done?" he said. "Firstly, DON"T SET OFF ANY NUKE! DO NOT DO THAT. This is sheer madness. In no way will this fix anything. It will do irreparable and long-term massive harm." Radiation damage would devastate the immediate area and the rest of our planet. [NOTE: Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors are still monitored 65 years after the US military dropped atomic bombs on civilians.]
"Secondly, for emergency clean-up crews exposed to the crude oil's benzene vapors, they must be informed about the consequences of working there. Many of them are neither trained properly, nor know what serious health damage can be done to them. [This is another unfolding scenario like the 9/11 First Responders experienced, when they were told by public officials that it was safe to breathe the toxic air at Ground Zero in New York City.] Dr. Castle urges the following:
"Stay out of the water. Protect yourself from the hazardous vapors and carcinogenic effects of benzene. Benzene cuts off oxygen to the body (it's water soluble) and is a known cause of leukemia blood cancer.
"Use organic coconut oil or organic coconut butter. These are safe and natural plant ingredients that are bioactive and will coat the skin and protect it. Rub it on your hands, and face, and neck. It creates a protective film against benzene. Do not rub or wash it off, as it helps reverse the toxins' many effects on the body.
"Also, use a capful of Willard's XXX Dark and rub it on arms and hands. This will also naturally protect the body. This is made of lignite coal in water and is another natural way to shield the body from toxins. [Dr. Castle has no financial ties with this product.]
"I repeat: Do not send any emergency hazard clean-up teams to the Gulf who are uneducated and do not realize the extreme damage these poisons can do short and long term.
"AmeriHaz can be safely used to gather up the crude oil that is already causing such ecological damage."
In 1996, Dr. Castle developed an inert product, called "AmeriHaz," to deal in a truly safe manner with cleaning up serious crude oil leaks and out-of-control dispersals of highly dangerous chemicals. "I wanted to create a product that could absorb any devastating 'spill' (it's really the very wrong word for what is happening in the Gulf. A 'spill' is something very minor). This is catastrophic in its scope," he told me. "This is an inert polymer product that will encapsulate this crude oil, so it won't be picked up systemically in anything else. It literally locks up PAHs [polyaromatic hydrocarbons] that are precursors of benzene." See this video :
www.10tv.com/live/content/onnnews/stories/2010/05/17/story-scientist-oil-spill-columbus.html
Also, Dr. Castle recommends "using crushed, pebble-size lignite coal all along beaches, marshes, and estuaries. This will help detoxify the benzene (that is naturally soluble in water) because it is extremely toxic in crude oil.
These are realistic solutions that can actually begin to remedy this effects of this catastrophe, if those people in charge really do care about saving the Gulf (an area still in trauma from the post-Hurricane Katrina debacle where there was really no help for those in most need).(8) Finally, an international boycott of all BP products should be instituted immediately. The untapped power of the consumer pocketbook should be used. When their CEO says this is a "modest" event, the company should not get any more money from already very strapped consumers.
