No 7 – Friday Night Special – How Close is Too Close?
Thursday, June 5, 2014 15:05
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
“If you can smell the chemical, the level is too high to be safe.”i
Last week we shared with you the facts about what chemicals gushed into the pristine air of Mayflower, Arkansas on March 29, 2013. This was one of the things you were not supposed to find out.
Remember what we told you about Benzene, which is highly carcinogenic, Toluene, a neurotoxin, and Hydrogen Sulfide, which is a potent poison, being the chemicals of choice used to force the Tar Sands through those pipes?
Now you know exposure to these for any length of time causes the victim to become sensitized to any and all future exposure. Smelling it AT ALL is too close.
And knowing full well what kind of chemicals were in those pipes Rex Tillerson and men like the Kochs withhold this information because What We Don't Know Can't Hurt Them! It only hurts us.
Here is the Time Line for those first hours after the spill began.
And here are the kind of maps which the ALOHA system could have delivered to residents and HazMat units within in seconds of the time the spill began.

Est. size of spill at 5,000 barrels = 210,000 gallons of Dilbit
Measured 4.1 % H2S = 8610 gallons
Measured 1.84 % of Dilbit is BTEX (April 14, 2013) = 3864 gallons of BTEX in Dilbit
Est. 35% of Dilbit is Condensate = 73,500 gallons of Condensate
Measure 4.85% of 35% Condensate is BTEX ( Nov1. 1, 2013) = 3564 gallons of BTEX in Cond
2% of Cond is Toluene = 1470 gallons
1% of Cond is Benzene = 735 gallons
And now we have the answer to the question of why folks like the Kochs and Tex Tillerson don't want us to know what those pipes contain.
