Science Refutes Government Oil Leak Report
A rosy outlook painted by a government oil spill report is being challenged. A conclusion by National Event Command that much of the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico had been burned, collected or vaporized has been cast into doubt by 3 scientific studies . Shrimping waters were re-opened. President Obama ate shellfish and swam in the gulf last week with his family. But a University of Georgia (UGA) study found nearly an equal amount of oil in fact remains yet to be recovered and will threaten gulf sea life for years. A massive oil plume was found on the sea floor by University of South Florida (USF)researchers. A study published by the American Medical Association (AMA) reports that the oil leak is a long-term threat to human health and gulf seafood safety.
Government oil spill report says impact is minimal
Government statements said much of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico 2010 had been safely dispersed. The Wall Street Journal reports that the federal National Incident Command said earlier this month that half of the 4.9 million gallons of oil spilled had been burned off or skimmed. Evaporation and dissolution handled another 25 percent. Up to 79 percent of the oil and its toxic byproducts remain under the sea, said UGA researchers at the forefront of investigating underwater oil plumes created by the oil spill. The petrochemicals will take years to break down in the environment, they concluded. The clear fact that oil beneath the surface can't evaporate was pointed out by the scientists. Large plumes of oil are trapped in deep water.
Undersea canyon harbors toxic oil plume
A large portion of the BP oil leak has settled to the bottom of the gulf further east than previously suspected, according to the USF team. CNN reports that initial findings from USF conclude that dispersants may have sent droplets of crude to the ocean floor, where it hovers near the bottom of an undersea canyon within 40 miles of the Florida Panhandle. The toxic chemicals within the crude are having a profound effect on plankton and other organisms at the base of the food chain. The oil could resurface later. A UGA scientist told CNN that methane and other gases-about a 3rd of the total hydrocarbons within the spill, remain in the water and weren't documented in the government report.
Gulf seafood safety faces long term threat
The BP oil leak will affect gulf seafood safety for years as outlined by the AMA. The Sacramento Bee reports that within the short term, gulf shellfish have difficulty clearing their systems of dangerous petrochemicals similar to those found in cigarette smoke and soot. Longer term, mercury consumed by fish lower within the food chain will concentrate in big game fish for instance tuna, swordfish and mackerel. Over time, the report said that doctors may feel compelled to advise pregnant women and kids to severely scale back their consumption of gulf seafood.
