BP Plc (BP)

[Ecomike]

OMG, I feel so much better. CDC and FDA are on the job!

LOL

Good one.

Myth number one, "We are with the government and we are here to help"!!!!

FDA is nothing more than a food industry and pharmaceutical business puppet. EPA was nothing but a GWB puppet during the 9-11 aftermath telling people the air was safe to breath, which was nonsense.

But that is a nice post / link.

Last time I checked FDA was defending the food supply of canned Tuna fish by testing 20 random cans of Tuna per year nation wide, and filing the report, even if it exceeded the 1 ppm limit for mercury they have on Tuna fish they never take action except to file the report, and 1 ppm of TCLP soluble mercury is 1/4 th of the hazardous waste definition for EPA (there is a 20x dillution and leach test involved in the EPA TCLP test and the EPA limit is .2 ppm)..

The FDA allows crude oil derivative color compounds to be used in food in the USA, while they are banned in Europe. These same food color agents have been linked to ADD and similar problems.

I have a real hard time believing there is any air born contamination issues yet from the BP spill, flaring at the spill site, or slick burns, or the use of dispersant at the spill site. VOCs will be long gone by the time floating oil gets any where near shore lines IMHO. Dead decaying wildlife and fish should the float up on shore are another matter!!!!!

Dispersant use at the shore might have an odor, but are they using near the shore?

I read once that the best way to get rid of Raccoons was to leave a dead sardine in the attic or basement. The odor runs them off, only problem is it runs off the owners too, LOL.
