Unexpected Home

The U.S. wrapped in the largest oil disaster in the history of April 20, the British oil company in the Gulf of Mexico fell into water by infilaking the oil platform belonging to BP. Following the explosion lost 11 people’s life, thousands of tons of oil leaked over weeks from the sea base. The oil-wed, the shattered pelics, tar layers, the images of dead fish that were shot on the coast are still in memory. It takes to know about the dimensions of the disaster when passing six months through Facia.

The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is hosted in many respects. Until now, in no oil accident, such a large amount of oil was leaked from a depth, such as thousand 500 meters. Around 159 million barrels of oil in total. However, there is no change at first sight when passing six months over the disaster. Andrew Juhl, the sea researcher from New York Columbia University, tells you that they observe on a research ship in the Gulf shortly ago:

“ I really wonder where the oil goes. The most important question. We now have reliable estimates on how much oil is mixed to the sea. But there is no idea of what this amount is to oil. What happened? Is oil spread, steamed, absorbed by microorganisms? Here’s no answer to this question. "

] 'No problem is visible'

The question of what 660 thousand tons of oil is not just reflecting curiosity. The response to this problem is key to cut the effects of oil disaster and the ecological system in the sea. Richard Steiner, former ecology professor from Alaska University, predicts that oil will spread over the decades of terrible damage to the environment even if it is not visible to the moment. Steiner, a specialist in the accident of Exxon Valdez oil tanker in 1989, states that nothing is visible to the eye:

“There are still 80 thousand to 120 thousand litres of crude oil in some coasts in Alaska. This is bad. But even worse, according to the scientists working in the government affected by the catastrophe 30 fish and 21 years after the type of black animal, it was only able to repel him, that is about three. "

The best example of the effects that may not appear in oil disaster is Pacific ringa fish. Exxon Valdez accident destroyed all fish larvae in the region. Felaketin did not surprise anyone. But after these larvae, no one could guess. Professor Steiner:

“Effective fish returned to the next year. Before we said lucky. But two, three years later the population of adult fish was completely destroyed. The reason was that: At the first time, the oil they contacted was not immediately killed, but the immune systems were so much to collapse. As a result of this, the virus called VHS was spread and all of its ring fish died. "

The fate of blue finned tons fish in the Gulf of Mexico will be the same, uncertain. The main ovulation period of fish comes to April-May months. That’s exactly the period of oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, 20 percent of the eggs in that period are estimated. The effects of over 20 sea mammals in the Gulf of Felaketin Mexico are not yet cut. Hundreds of dolphins were shot on the shore. Avoid outdoor sea is not known if it dies.

British oil company BP used four million liters of binder material to prevent oil from reaching the surface. This amount of chemical binder was used for the first time in the sea. The environmentalists are in the criticism that chemical substances make oil leak more toxic for organisms in the sea. The full dimensions of Felaketin may probably appear in Exxon Valdez in Alaska but 10 or 20 years later.
