James Diaz,.a medical toxicologist who heads LSU’s environmental and occupational health sciences program, said the dispersants contain ethylenes which cause peripheral nerve damage in humans, especially among painters and auto mechanics who use them for cleaning solvents. The Coast Guard pulled all commercial fishing boats contracted by BP for cleanup efforts in Breton Sound after seven workers were hospitalized from exposure to the toxic-coated oil. The LSU scientists believe the chemicals have created huge oil plumes at 2,000 to 4,000-foot depths that are now reaching shores from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. This has incensed some environmentalists. Critics have accused BP of being less interested in the chemical’s effectiveness than in its ability to shape perceptions of the disaster by making it harder to see the oil. “They’re trying to dissolve it at the source so we don’t see it,” said Carl Safina, an ecologist and founder of the Blue Ocean Institute, a conservationist organization in New York. “They’re just trying to hide the body, to hide the extent of the problem from view. It’s a PR ploy.” themoderatevoice.com
