people sickened by strange acid rain reported gastrointestinal distress and diarrhea? Well one of the major ingredients in Corexit is a stool softener. ...what interests me most is this idea that these chemicals have entered into the Gulf Hydrologic Cycle, and are getting into the clouds and raining down locally. Then there is 2-Butoxyethanol it is a carcinogen to mammals, though it is not listed as carcinogenic to humans. Hmmm. "Moderate respiratory exposure to 2-butoxyethanol often results in irritation of mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and throat. Heavy exposure via respiratory, dermal or oral routes can lead to hypotension, metabolic acidosis, hemolysis, pulmonary edema and coma." Now this is in addition to the irritation caused by weathering crude, and [AND] particulate matter created from burning that crude in massive amounts in the Gulf. oilybeauhunk.blogspot.com

*IF* it's "light" Texas crude.
oil is also a mix of hydrocarbons ranging from methane on up. Methane is a gas - it evaporates. Ethane is a gas - it evaporates. Propane is a gas - it evaporates. Butane is a liquid - but it evaporates readily. And so on. What do you get out of crude - gasoline - it evaporates.

BP oil spill: majority of oil in the Gulf of Mexico 'eliminated' Published: 2:16PM BST 04 Aug 2010 Only five times the Exxon-Valdez spill remains!Exxon Valdez Barred Entry Into India Shipbreaking Yard By Siddharth Philip - May 10, 2012 12:33 AM MT India barred Oriental Nicety, formerly Exxon Valdez that caused the 1989 Alaska oil spill, from the nation’s biggest ship-breaking yard after an activist filed a petition in the Supreme Court saying the vessel contained toxic material. The Gujarat Pollution Control Board denied the ship entry into Alang, on India’s western coast, for scrapping, as the “matter is sub-judice,” Hardik Shah, its member secretary, said in a telephone interview last night from the state capital Gandhinagar. Gopal Krishna, a New Delhi-based activist with ToxicsWatch Alliance, told the Supreme Court last month that the ship had asbestos and heavy metals on board. Concerns that ships with hazardous material are entering India have mounted in recent years as Alang competes with yards in China, Pakistan and Bangladesh. more: www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-10/exxon-valdez-barred-entry-into-india-shipbreaking-yard.html
