Benzene Exposure In The Gulf Of Mexico Blowout

What is unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico is truly a nightmare of epic proportions. Untold
millions (if not billions) of gallons of raw crude oil, mixed with natural gas has been
spewing (not spilling) into the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico for over a month. All
efforts to plug the massive leak have ended in abject failure. Sadly, the “mainstream
media”is failing to accurately report the substantial health risks the massive oil geyser
is posing to all coastal residents.
Raw crude oil is naturally loaded with a petrochemical called benzene. Unfortunately,
several regulatory agencies (e.g., the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], and the International Agency for
Research on Cancer) classify benzene as a confirmed human carcinogen (CHC).
In other words, benzene causes cancer and other chronic disease states. This paper will review the dangers of benzene exposure, and offer solutions to help detoxify the body
following exposure –either via the air, or by sea water, or rain and precipitation in
contact with the skin.
