Gulf Coast Toxicity Syndrome
Landau says this is not a “spill.” A spill is finite. This is a blowout, an explosion of oil spewing out of the earth under great pressure. What is spewing out, blasting out with more pressure than we comprehend, is a toxic mixture of various chemicals, some of which can kill you at a mere 400 parts per million. There’s hydrogen sulfide, benzene, methane, pentane, propane, ethane, butane, and a host of other combinations of hydrogen and carbon. All are dangerous in various concentrations. They are dangerous to breathe in and dangerous to touch. They cause cancer, lung damage and death. Some of them are so dangerous they cause genetic damage, passing their destruction onto generations yet unborn.
...Reports are coming in that people in Atlanta are reporting breathing problems. It seems many are feeling sore throats, constant slight headaches, extreme fatigue, and nausea while outside. Is it so surprising that when the rain and wind come up from the Gulf into southern Georgia people would suffer from the toxic fallout? Those living in the Gulf region are at serious health risks and neither the media, the EPA, the CDC nor the president is warning them. In fact there seems to be a complete cover-up and news blackout of the events as they are unfolding, though we see scattered reports from local news agencies confirming most everything in this presentation. Thousands who are doing cleanup duty and working on the ships are seriously in harm’s way. And then it is anyone’s guess how far and wide the toxic damage will carry.
...The Louisiana Environmental Action Network released its analysis of air monitoring test results by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA’s air testing data comes from Venice, a coastal community 75 miles south of New Orleans in Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish.
The findings show that levels of airborne chemicals have far exceeded state standards and what’s considered safe for human exposure. For instance, hydrogen sulfide has been detected at concentrations more than 100 times greater than the level known to cause physical reactions in people. Among the health effects of hydrogen sulfide exposure are eye and respiratory irritation as well as nausea, dizziness, confusion and headache. The concentration threshold for people to experience physical symptoms from hydrogen sulfide is about 5 to 10 parts per billion but has been measured higher than 3,000 parts per billion early on in this exponentially unfolding disaster. go to story

You cannot solve the problem. You will create problem. If you don't live natural life, then you will create problem. Just like the other creatures, other than human beings, they have no problems, because they are living naturally. So our human beings should also live natural life. Then his only problem is birth, death, old age, and disease. That he will be able to solve. more
BP, the workers clamoring for oil rig jobs, the fishermen, the seafood eateries, and the people who eat the seafood, who drive to work and to the seafood eateries in their petro-fueled vehicles – all are implicated. The woman in the video hesitates to admit dependence on the oil industry and instead shifts blame to the banks when she says, "What is going on here? Are we that dependent on these ... banks to just roll over and let them poison our world?" (see 11:21) But the fact is, most of the "developed" world is totally dependent on the petroleum industry as much as a junkie is hooked on heroine, and the very thought of withdrawal from it sets off convulsions. And people are just as addicted to eating meat, fish and eggs. Nature is reacting – oil is erupting from below the sea floor, the fishes and other sea creatures are dying, and the environment is polluted so that it is practically uninhabitable. Everyone wants it stopped, but no one is prepared to stop their activities that have brought about these events. Action and reaction.
excerpt from conversation, Los Angeles, September 28, 1972
JAYATIRTHA: The advancement of material science really means to complicate the problems of life.
PRABHUPADA: That's all, increasing the problem. They have to dig out petroleum oil from the midst of the ocean. Is it easy job?
JAYATIRTHA: No.
PRABHUPADA: But they will do it because they have got motorcars, they must find out petrol.
SVARUP DAMODAR: That's why they are called development of new departments of knowledge. With the rise of necessity, they develop new departments of searching out the unknown.
PRABHUPADA: What is the use of this development? It will be problem after all. What is the use of such knowledge?
SVARUP DAMODAR: They fail to see that point.
PRABHUPADA: That means they are rascals. They do not have clear eyesight, clear insight. They do not know whether they are degrading or developing. Just like the flies, with great force they will go into the fire. They think they are making progress, they are going to the light. They think; otherwise how they are going? Such kind of advancement. They are going to die, be annihilated, and they still, "Oh, we are going force, by force we are going to the light. Here is darkness, there is light." This is their philosophy. Just like a mad driver drinking drives recklessly to die, that's all. But he is thinking, "Oh, I am going with so much great speed." He does not know that he is going to die after few minutes. And that is their development.
