COMMENTS: Crude Oil is Bad for One’s Health
NBC's in-house physician Nancy Snyderman listed the adverse health consequences from contact with crude oil last week. Now her medical colleagues at the other two newscasts--ABC's Richard Besser and CBS' Jennifer Ashton--play catch-up. Benzene, naphthalene and toluene are all known carcinogens, not to speak of headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, inflamed eyes, nose, throat, lungs.
CBS' Ashton also pointed to BP announcements that clean-up workers are expected to work 14-hour days and seven-day weeks. OSHA put a stop to that, warning of an increased risk of workplace injury.
