EPA report Benzene in the Gulf Sea is tested to be 3000 ppb or 2995ppb more than the safe levels

Yesterday peoples where wondering these levels and here they are

Please bear in mind that there is vast difference between PPB and PPM.

Not disputing any information, just wanting us to be clear on what we are discussing.

yes part per billion saftey level in this measure unit are 0-5 ppb and we have 3000 ppb

25,000 barrels of oil per day!!!!!!!!!!!!

hydrogen sulphide and benzene levels GAZZILLIONS of percent higher than safe levels!!!!!!

oh, my, dear, lord.......

Sorry to say that this barrel per day estimate has been squashed. we are around 110,000 bbl per day and rising...

Unfortunatly and there is no seeing an end of this anytime soon.

The problem contrarily to other case that sort of self fix with time themselves, is that here we have a 20 to 70.000 PSI pressure of oil and gas eroding the well and the soil under it, this erode everything the sedimetary layers under it even the metal of the well itself. There is nothing that can stand a pressure of this magnitude at least nothing man made.

Imagine if they explode a nuclear device with 40% of that leak being Methane..
