According to an article published by Al Jazieera English, the results of independent blood tests indicate high levels of toxic chemicals in residents living along the Gulf Coast. A blood sample analyzed for volatile solvents revealed elevated levels of ethylbenzene, styrene, and m, p-Xylene. Because of these abnormal test results, the people who have been exposed require the option of evacuating the polluted areas. Because they lack the support and financing to leave, the entire Gulf Coast remains in severe danger. All the chemicals found in the blood sample are extremely hazardous to human beings. They cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, kidney damage, digestive upset, lung damage, burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema, somnolence, cancer, lack of muscle coordination, dizziness, confusion, alterations in body balance, irritation of the skin, eyes, nose and throat, difficulty breathing, delayed reaction time, memory difficulties, stomach discomfort, liver damage, unconsciousness, lethargy, memory deficits, vertigo, hematological disorders, and neurological disorders.
