We still don’t know the extent of the devastation that 200,000 gallons a day of crude oil spewing into the Gulf waters will have on our country. So far, it’s proving to be one of the largest human-caused environmental disasters in U.S. history. We know that the effects on the animal and plant populations have been disastrous, and we’ll be watching closely as the they continue to unfold. However, one question remains: Will this oil spill affect our health?

The short answer is, yes. There are well-documented analyses on the effects of environmental pollution of previous oil spills — some which have occurred inland and certainly the Exxon Valdez spill in the Alaskan waters of the Prince William Sound in 1989. You have to remember that it only takes about a quart of crude oil to pollute 150,000 gallons of water. Crude oil contains substances such as benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that have been proven to cause severe reactions in humans — some mild, such as nausea, vomiting and fatigue. But studies have also linked exposure to these compounds to more serious conditions like leukemia and certain types of cancers.

Another negative health effect that could come from this massive environmental catastrophe is the potential for exposure to heavy metals, such as lead — which we know can be very detrimental to the health of an unborn child — resulting in low birth weight, developmental delays, miscarriage and even stillbirth. So pregnant women are especially vulnerable to these heavy metals.

Look, we all know what happens to us humans when our food chain gets contaminated with chemicals and the havoc it can wreak on our health. So the bottom line the best protection we have a situation like this is educating ourselves. The government is doing what they can to clean up and prevent human consumption of contaminated food, but we should also practice personal responsibility for the things we eat. It’s important that attention be paid to the communities in the immediate areas of potential exposure. And certainly, for seafood lovers like myself, be aware of where your food is coming from.

The potential for health problems resulting from airborne pollutants where oil is washing ashore is minimal. But for those living in affected areas living with pulmonary diseases, like asthma or emphysema, aromatic irritants could enhance symptoms. As of now, there haven’t been any reports of respiratory side effects, but just keep an eye on the story and take the proper precautions.

Finally, let us pray for the people of Louisiana and surrounding coastal communities, and for the fisherman whose livelihood will surely be affected by this terrible accident. In an area that has suffered great losses at the hands of natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, it’s imperative that we continue to show our love and support for the communities that have been a source of joy for Americans.

The Oil spill and your health

How can the oil spill affect your health?  Read the WebMD article for details.  Prevention is the best decision so stay clear of seafood from that area (I’d personally recommend cutting out seafood altogether for a variety of other reasons) and take care of your lungs!  Keep the fumes and toxins as far away as possible.  And then double up on the most effective anti-oxidant protection you can get – and we can show you a solution that has clinical studies in blood serum to combat the oxidative stress in your body!

Gulf Coast Oil Slick Could Have Impact on Seafood and Air Quality

By Denise Mann
WebMD Health News

April 30, 2010 — The Deepwater Horizon incident occurred about 50 miles southeast of Venice, La., on April 22 after an explosion and fire damaged a Transocean oil rig, causing it to burn for hours and sink. There were approximately 700,000 gallons of fuel onboard before the fire, and exactly how much of this fuel burned before it sank is not known, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Silver Spring, Md.

The spill could affect hundreds of species of fish, birds, and other wildlife along the Gulf Coast, which is one of the world’s richest seafood grounds. According to NOAA, there may be risks for people working as oil spill responders, observers, and in wildlife rehabilitation due to inhalation of fumes.

Oil-derived compounds including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) tend to be readily cleared from fish and mammals, so eating fish after an oil spill generally does not pose a health risk to humans. But oysters, shrimp, and crab do not readily clear PAHs and are more likely to accumulate these potentially toxic substances after oil exposure, NOAA states.

These compounds can also be toxic for fish eggs and larvae and may can cause a wide range of health problems in other marine species.

Impact on Air Quality

LuAnn White, PhD, a professor of environmental health sciences and the director of the Tulane Center for Applied Environmental Public Health in New Orleans, is on the front lines of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

“We are watching it very closely,” she tells WebMD. “The odor from the spill could affect people with respiratory diseases such as asthma and emphysema, but the spill happened off shore, so that is good because there is no one out there,” she says. The occupational health issues are immense, but proper safeguards are being taken by oil spill responders and others involved in the clean-up process, she adds.

The oil involved in the spill was sweet crude oil. “It didn’t have sulfur, so it doesn’t smell as bad as other types of oil and it is composed of lighter compounds that will evaporate,” she explains.

So far, she says, the odor is light and transient.

There has been other reassuring news regarding air quality, White tells WebMD. “There has been air monitoring along the coastline and that didn’t pick up anything so far.”

Touching the oil can cause skin irritation and burning, she says. “Standing next to it and not touching it will not cause any problems.”

As far as drinking water concerns, there are none. “The Gulf of Mexico is a saltwater body, not a freshwater source, so drinking water contamination is not an issue,” she says.

Seafood Contamination

The risk of contaminated seafood reaching consumers is also relatively low, she says. “Fisherman won’t be allowed to collect seafood in any area with an oil spill, so seafood caught will come from other areas.”
