First off. Is there anything else that would cause a rainbow type sheen across the top of water??? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 973502I live in SE Louisiana. We have a small pond in our back yard that was virtually empty from months of drought. Well in the past week we have had major rainfall. So I walked out yesterday evening, just to check it out, And with the setting sun shining on the pond through the trees, I could see a rainbow sheen, covering the surface of the pond. The water that is in it now, is totally from this past weeks rainfall, there is no other drainage into it. Is there anything else, that is natural, other then oil that would cause a rainbow sheen like that???? Im going to try this evening again, when the sun is at the right angle, to see if I can get any pics. Not sure if it will show up in them or not. The only thing that does that is oil. Or a large dose of LSD |

It covers an area off shore something like 25,000 square miles. Natural Gas and Oil is leaking out of the deposit as far inland as Central Alabama and way over into Florida and even over to Louisiana almost as far as Texas.” Quoting: Anonymous Coward 980955Then what happens if they nuke the bloody thing to close it? would radiation be able to penetrate that far and poison inland? Igniting the oil and gas with a nuke would be bad, the afterward global burning perhaps could deplete all the earth's oxygen! |

Aside from just the "blanket concern" about oil rain, there should be a concern NOW about the Benzene that evaporates and adheres to precipitation and falls to earth, contaminating the soil: From a government study ---------------------------- 1. Benzene in the air can attach to rain or snow and be carried back down to the ground. 2.It breaks down more slowly in water and soil, and can pass through the soil into underground water. --------------------------- Damage from benzene: Breathing very high levels of benzene can result in death, while high levels can cause drowsiness, dizziness, rapid heart rate, headaches, tremors, confusion, and unconsciousness. Eating or drinking foods containing high levels of benzene can cause vomiting, irritation of the stomach, dizziness, sleepiness, convulsions, rapid heart rate, and death. The major effect of benzene from long-term exposure is on the blood. Benzene causes harmful effects on the bone marrow and can cause a decrease in red blood cells leading to anemia. It can also cause excessive bleeding and can affect the immune system, increasing the chance for infection. Some women who breathed high levels of benzene for many months had irregular menstrual periods and a decrease in the size of their ovaries, but we do not know for certain that benzene caused the effects. It is not known whether benzene will affect fertility in men. [link to www.atsdr.cdc.gov] |

Well, I really do want to get the water tested, and like I also said, if it is oil, Id like to see if the local University would like to test the frogs and tadpoles. No I had never seen the rainbow sheen on the pond before. And like I said, it seemed odd, because the only water in the pond, I knew for a fact, came from the recent rain. But just like the original day, that it was there, I saw it just after the rain, then it was gone by the next day. The same thing now. So I think I will wait, until we get another good rain, which shouldnt be very long from now. This is SE Louisiana. And get a sample right after the rain. So it wont be a wasted effort. The pond is a natural pond, and very healthy, full of fish and minnows, frogs, duckweed, and other aquatic plants. Things that could clean a slight amount of oil up quickly. I will let you all know, though when I find out something solid. I will also try to find something large to put out and attempt to collect some rain water, to see if it contains anything. Nothing at the moment, we tend to keep anything that holds standing water empty around here, because the mosquitos are so bad. The pond is no big deal because all the larva get eaten up.

Our pond has a tendency to get a rainbow slick on top after it has been dried up or depleted. I'd like to see it better. If you can ... please fill up a zip lock bag and hold it up to the light and snap a pic of it.
