While most of the news reports on BP’s oil geyser in the Gulf of Mexico have focused on the environmental impact of the oil, very few are talking about an equally serious issue, which is the impact this oil is going to have on human health. And to complicate the matter, BP is dumping dangerous dispersant chemicals on the oil that have been banned in other areas of the world because they can be even deadlier than the oil. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. talks about some of the potential impacts we could witness as a result of this oil spill with Dr. Riki Ott, one of the leading experts on the impact of oil spills on human health.

What are and will be the effects of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on the wildlife in the area? — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Scientists to study impact of gulf oil spill on marine food webs Shells from oysters, clams, and periwinkles hold clues about the ways and rates at which harmful compounds from the spill are being incorporated into the Gulf’s marine food web. New reports are surfacing every day about the immediate impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on Gulf Coast wildlife, especially as the oil reaches the sensitive marshlands along the coast. But how will these communities be affected over time? Scientists currently know very little about how long it takes for the hydrocarbons and heavy metals in crude oil to work their way through marine food webs. To address this issue, California Academy of Sciences researcher Peter Roopnarine is working with Laurie Anderson from Louisiana State University and David Goodwin from Denison University to collect and analyze three different types of mollusks from the Gulf Coast. These animals are continually building their shells, and if contaminants are present in their environment, they can incorporate those compounds into their shells. Roopnarine and his colleagues will study growth rings in the shells – much like scientists would study tree rings – to determine how quickly harmful compounds from the oil become incorporated into the animals’ homemade armor …
