This comes from the YouTube video: Oil and water samples were taken from both the Shores of Grand Isle and from 20 miles out. The preliminary analysis was done at an academic analytical chemistry laboratory. Looking for the likely pollutants from the deep water Horizon Oil spill. It was focused on the detection of benzene and propylene glycol. Benzene and other highly toxic contaminants were very low however the concentration of propylene glycol was between 360 and 440 parts per million. Just 25 parts per million is know to kill most fish and propylene glycol is just one of many ingredients found in Corexit. In short, the Gulf is being poisoned by BP's usage of the dispersants even after the EPA asked them to stop back in May. We are willing to provide ANY respected/known laboratory these samples or provide them with more. This is very serious to all people and marine life in and around the Gulf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq65E7rmO_k This comes from a blog: A group of daring citizen journalists collected water samples from Grand Isle, Louisiana, a few days ago and sent them to an Academic Chemistry lab for analysis. The findings were startling: The concentrations of Propylene Glycol were off the charts: 360 and 440 parts per million, concentrations indicating a much higher level of Corexit (of which Propylene Glycol is only one part). Toxicity tests have shown that a concentration of Corexit at 25 parts per million kills most fish and only 2.6 parts per million has the same effect in the presence of dispersed oil. The level of the water samples collected at Grand Isle is roughly 150 times the toxic level for fish. Overall, this water analysis suggests high Corexit concentrations in surface water near New Orleans and suggests a public health Hazard that should be taken extremely seriously along the entire Gulf Coast. Simply put: This water is poisonous! http://activerain.com/blogsview/1731102/this-water-is-poisonous- added by: samantha420
