OT: Toxicological Profile for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons

[Guest guest]

The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and

adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described here.

Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that

describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent

literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key

studies. The complete list of topics covered (chapter titles) is shown at the

left and in more detail further down this page.

The focus of the profile is on health and toxicologic information. Therefore,

each profile begins with a Public Health Statement that summarizes in

nontechnical language, a substance's relevant properties.

This is pretty interesting reading in light of the lack of information being

given about actual information to do with anything on tha coast.

The media blackout has gotten out of control as you can see in this video where

CBS tries to find out why.
