Evidence Refutes BP's and Fed's Deceptions



Evidence Refutes BP's and Fed's Deceptions
Monday 04 October 2010
by: Dahr Jamail and Erika Blumenfeld, t r u t h o u t | Report

In August, Truthout conducted soil and water sampling in Pass Christian Harbor, Mississippi; on Grand Isle, Louisiana; and around barrier islands off the coast of Louisiana, in order to test for the presence of oil from BP's Macondo Well.

~snip~

The environmental analyst who worked with this writer did so on condition of anonymity and performed a micro extraction that tests for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). The lower reporting limit the analyst is able to detect from a solid sample is 50 parts per million (ppm).

~snip~

A water sample from inside Pass Christian Harbor, Mississippi, taken on August 13, contained 611 ppm of TPH. Seawater that is free of oil would test at zero ppm of TPH.

~snip~

A soil sample containing tar balls from the beach on Grand Isle, Louisiana, taken on August 16, contained 39,364 ppm of TPH.

~snip~

A sample of marsh grass in this area of Casse-Tete Isle contained 144,700 ppm of TPH.

People are going to know.
