Air Data >>
EPA's air monitoring conducted through June 12, 2010, has found that air quality levels for ozone and particulates are normal on the Gulf coastline for this time of year.
EPA has observed odor-causing pollutants associated with petroleum products along the coastline at low levels. Some of these chemicals may cause short-lived effects like headache, eye, nose and throat irritation, or nausea. People may be able to smell some of these chemicals at levels well below those that would cause short-term health problems.

Agreed I want to beleive this is true it makes sense but I need to see it with my own eyes before jumping on the bandwagon.

EPA Site for good information about the air quality.

It would be cool if we could find the official EPA reports somewhere online. It would make a world of difference as far as legitimacy goes...people will pay a hell of a lot more attention to the actual EPA reports than they will Lindsey Williams.
I'm literally about to fall asleep, but I'll do a quick search and see what I can come up with.
www.epa.gov...
to hell with particulates... that wont be an issue until this stuff burns
Line deleted claiming seeing 2000 ppm on EPA site
edit.. dang now I cant find the page... maybe it was 2 ppm

Unfortunately it is hard work to single out benzene from methyl chloride...

Sorry to be a party popper but the tribulation hasn't stopped. We still have the BP oil spill which is getting worse and worse, the Obama administration advice to our Armed Forces is to get ready for a very possible confrontation with North Korea, not to mention the fact that the governments of the world, including the Obama administration, are implementing more draconian laws to suppress and control us. Not to mention that the economy is NOT getting better, and before it does there will be a collapse and you want to claim all problems are behind us?
This op is nothing more than the "desire" of the op to ignore being realistic.
Sorry but what I see are more floods, even a possible heat wave but isolated to one region but which will cause lots of problems.
The BP oil spill will only get worse for at least a few more weeks if not longer, and this will destroy ecosystems, there will be more ban on fishing spread to emcompass regions of the ocean where the oil keeps expanding into. You can say tourism goodbye for a while because of the strentch from ocean animals and other biologicals which will cause a real bad stencth in the gulf, and parts of the eastern seashore of the U.S.
The ramification of this spill are going to be more than the unfortunate death of many lifeforms in the oceans but i feel that this will precipitate seismic and magmatic events unless they can stop the oil, and gas from escaping, and i don't see that happening any time soon.
Do you realize that there could be evacuations from the affected areas because of the strencth from the dying biological organisms, and not to mention the fact that methane is probably one of the gases being released contituously from the hole, or holes and this will cause respiratoty problems and possibly deaths?
Anyone living close to the affected areas should start buying canned food, bottled water, any medicine that you need including vitamins such as vitamin C, aspirins/tylenol/advil, and as much as you can afford. If you don't have a barbecue I would buy at least a grill and some coal or whatever you use for a very real emergency.
I rather be a realist, than pretend "all the worse is behind us" and be caught unprepared.

As I have suggested in a different thread...
MODS, could ATS please create a Special Coverage page for the oil gusher and most importantly a dedicated Oil Spill News Firehose.
This would help all of us on ATS who are trying to follow this story. The oil spill crisis is growing exponentially every day.
ATS would be really helping its members by creating a Special Coverage zone or even a special Gulf Oil Spill Forum for the oil spill threads and real important: an oil spill news firehose.
Many of us would really appreciate it.
