Be careful for anyone that's helping clean-up.....

i'm sure it's been posted/discussed here already, but just a friendly reminder. i don't know how accurate this information is, but apparently most of the crew that helped clean up the Exxon Valdez spill are now deceased. the average life span for those workers is 51 years old, and the chemicals which are used for clean-up are not being released or made public by BP. once again, i don't know how accurate this info is, just be careful for all those in the gulf helping clean-up in LA, miss, bama, and florida

Would love to see some info to back this up in any way.

Check this out.
The workers who are cleaning up the oil in the Gulf need to be aware of the chemicals that will be used. I am one of the 11,000+ cleanup workers from the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), who is suffering from health issues from that toxic cleanup, without compensation from Exxon. My name is Merle Savage; a female general foreman during the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) beach cleanup in 1989, which turned into 21 years of extensive health deterioration for me, and many other workers. Dr. Riki Ott visited me in 2007 to explain about the toxic spraying on the beaches. She also informed me that Exxon's medical records and the reports that surfaced in litigation by sick workers in 1994, had been sealed from the public, making it impossible to hold Exxon responsible for their actions. LINK Exxon developed the toxic spraying; OSHA, the Coast Guard, and the state of Alaska authorized the procedure; VECO and other Exxon contractors implemented it. Beach crews breathed in crude oil that splashed off the rocks and into the air -- the toxic exposure turned into chronic breathing conditions and central nervous system problems, along with other massive health issues. Some of the illnesses include neurological impairment, chronic respiratory disease, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, liver damage, and blood disease. LINK My web site is devoted to searching for EVOS cleanup workers who were exposed to the toxic spraying, and are suffering from the same illnesses that I have. Our summer employment turned into a death sentence for many -- and a life of unending medical conditions for the rest of us – Exxon’s Collateral Damaged. LINK

WOW. Given your experience, what safeguards should be implemented and followed by those doing the hands on cleanup, i.e. the dirty work?
