BP Oil and Corexit Found in Diver's Blood

Not sure if this should also be posted in the accident section, but because they are scientific divers and they were working I am puting it here.

BP Oil and Corexit Found in Science Diver?s Blood

Seems that some research divers have become contaminated with and absorbed the oil from the BP disaster after filming underwater clouds of the oil that was treated with the dispersant Corexit. Second thoughts about diving the Gulf for a while. :shocked2:

Thanks for posting. The symptoms are sobering.

From the article:
"These hands were diving full rubber but not hazmat gear, as they were told it was safe to dive where they were. Dives ran about :30 and were mianly mid-water, shooting video."

I'll think twice before ever eating Gulf seafood again.
