Al Jazeera investigated the current chemical body politic of the Gulf , and found that the at least 1.9 million gallons of dispersant BP used to fix the wasteweir have immix withcrude oilto make something defective — which is washing ashore and stimulate a heap of human nausea . As the fossil oil part down , poly - aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs ) are being released — chemicals Al Jazeera identify as “ arcinogenic , mutagenic , and teratogenic . ” Think of this as releasing a pack of Fox to attack a hive , and then the foxes come back cover in bee and leap all over you .

And it ’s going to be hard to avoid this material , says one expert . “ The dispersants are being tally to the water and are make chemical substance compound to become water soluble , which is then give off into the air , so it is coming down as rainfall , in addition to being in the water and beaches of these area of the Gulf , ” explain Bob Naman of the Analytical Chemical Testing Lab in Mobile , Alabama .
In the meantime , people are suffering . Badly . Like , brownish pee badly : “ I start to vomit brown , and my pee was brown also , ” enounce one Gulf occupant . “ I kept that up all day . Then I had a night of sweating and non - break diarrhoea unlike anything I ’ve ever experienced . ” Phrases like “ non - stop diarrhea ” are usually quite curious , but to bring a wave of human malady to an already fearful environmental catastrophe is just horrid . How much more can one even despise a company like BP ? Though , if their reputation has already been thoroughly drag out through the mud , it look like they ’ve amount up with a inwardness even worse than that . [ Al JazeeraviaBoing Boing ]
