KARNES CITY -- Like beacons, the flares in Karnes County draw attention
to one of the biggest and most profitable oil and gas finds in the
world. Under the light belching from the towers, Mike Cerny takes a puff
of medicine in what is now an empty inhaler.<span class="yiv3678569969Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
Cerny and his wife say the inhalers and medicines the family takes now eclipse the royalties their property earns from fracking.<br />
<br />
“When you see your son with up to three nosebleeds a day, something’s wrong with this picture,” Myra Cerny said.<br />
<br />
At first, she thought it was “time” that was taking its toll on their bodies.<br />
<br />
“But
it was coming on too fast, the symptoms," Cerny said. "And others the
same age -- I have a twin sister -- aren’t sharing the same problems.”<br />
<br />
But with every bit of gas and oil being extracted, the family
noticed changes in their health. The flares are supposed to burn off
unwanted gases, but the family noticed clouds of black smoke erupting
with the flames.<br />
<br />
“We are totally surrounded," Cerny said. "And no matter which way
the wind blows, we’re getting downdraft from one or the other."<br />
<br />
Worried, the Cernys contacted the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.<span class="yiv3678569969Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
In August and September, investigators with the TCEQ visited two
units near their home. The leaking hydrocarbons are invisible to the
naked eye, but are picked up as black smoke with the TCEQ’s infrared
cameras.<br />
<br />
The Cernys said their fears were realized when the TCEQ found the operator, Marathon Oil, was out of compliance.<br />
<br />
“When
they’re burning black and not operating right, like we’ve seen here,
you have up to 250- pollutants raining down on your head," Cerny said.<br />
<br />
According to TCEQ documents, methane, propane, butane, and hydrogen
sulfides were in the noxious mix. The benzene emissions alone were
reportedly four times over the legal limit.<br />
<br />
The Cernys said it was the exposure to Benzene -— a known cancer-causing compound -— that matched their symptoms.<br />
<br />
“That’s when we put things together. Well, that’s everything going
on with our health. And we knew it was surrounding us,” Cerny said.<br />
<br />
“Once
you inhale it, your liver picks it up. And it is really what happens in
the body that makes it carcinogenic,” said Dr. Andrew Brenner, a
neurooncologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San
Antonio.<br />
<br />
He said chronic, long-term benzene exposure is dangerous and can lead to blood cancers.<br />
<br />
“People
get leukemias, or you can have damage to your stem cells and their bone
marrow. That results in an inability to make their own blood cells,” he
said.<br />
<br />
The Cernys said they’re breathing that air around their home 24
hours a day. Now the family worries about their growing boy, Cameron.<br />
<br />
“It’s
like a CSI episode: You picture the chemical going in their fragile
lungs and what it is doing to their body. And you wonder, 'How much
longer do they have?'”<br />
<br />
The TCEQ made two recommendations to Marathon Oil: the company
installs an alarm or monitor to make sure the flare is working properly,
and that Marathon reports emissions problems within 24 hours.<br />
<br />
The oil company received no fines from the state agency.<br />
<br />
“We want out of here,” Mike Cerny said.<br />
<br />
The Cernys said they are not alone in their suffering.<span class="yiv3678569969Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
However,
other nearby residents were reluctant to come forward, telling KENS 5
they have family working the oil and gas fields. Complaining, they said,
could cost them their jobs.<br />
<br />
The Cernys believe the industry may have already cost them their health.<br />
<br />
“Death,” said Mike and Myra Cerny simultaneously.<span class="yiv3678569969Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
“That’s all I can think. Death,” the worried mother said. “Seeing our son die maybe before us. That’s all you can think.”</div>

Interesting that they had a simulation with a "Hurricane Sandy" back in 1997. What else aren't they telling us.<br />
<br />
By the way I was told Pennsylvania banned Fracking? Proud of you. Now Michigan, now let's us get our act together. <br />
<br />
Stay safe in the Hurricane coming on the east coast. Get water, food, NOW because the stores will be out of it soon, if not already. A thought,,,,,,,,you can use water from your hot water heater, especially if you have a water filter, which everyone should have . A better one not some of those cheapy ones. If that is all your can afford, like us, something is better than nothing. <br />
Stay safe.EMILYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07970752583265612641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976633006507983064.post-85609540478552394582012-09-07T09:46:00.002-04:002012-09-07T09:46:46.493-04:00<a href="http://images.pennwellnet.com/ogj/images/off2/0199oseriefig1a.gif" target="_blank">http://images.pennwellnet.com/ogj/images/off2/0199oseriefig1a.gif</a><br />

Here is the map of Canadian wells and their pipelines in Lake Erie. Thanks Canada!!! For keeping out Great Lakes Clean. Here some were fighting so hard to keep them from the industry and they do it. I don't know why but I was shocked when my husband found that last night. Why are we bothering to fight about anything......... <br />

Feel like fool actually. Some have been fighting to keep the oil and gas industry out of the Great Lakes, Well it appears Canada has been drilling on their side since the 50's. Why are we fighting at all.....it seems pointless now. Have another map showing the pipelines........

<span style="font-size: large;">Interesting read. You have to read that study I sent with the link if you haven't. It lays all </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">our symptoms out there...in 2006. Then came upon this one. </span><br />

Natural Gas is Unnatural</h1>

Scientific studies are now proving what people with
environmentally induced illness have long known. Not only
is indoor natural gas use a common contributor to multiple
chemical sensitivity needing medical attention, but it
also contributes to respiratory illness. This is a major
disappointment and disillusionment. Multinational
corporations and governments told us natural gas was "the
clean fuel, the healthy fuel." Yet intelligent citizens
have learned to be very skeptical of the claims of those
making billions of dollars purveying petrochemicals. <br />
<br />
The founder and director of the Environmental Health
Center in Dallas, Tex., William J. Rea, MD, states that,
"Of 47,000 patients, the most important sources of indoor
air pollution responsible for generating illness were the
gas cook stoves, hot water heaters, and furnaces." (<em>Chemical
Sensitivity: Sources of Total Body Load</em>, 1994).<br />
<br />
Gerald Ross, MD, former president of the American Academy
of Environmental Medicine, writes, "Traditionally, natural
gas is a pollutant chemical that can worsen both classical
allergy and chemical sensitivity-[patients with complex
allergies and sensitivities] will have only limited
success with their treatment programs if they are living
in a home that has natural gas or if they are in an area
where there is natural gas transportation or leakage." <br />
<br />
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, in their
publication, <em>The Clean Air Guide: How to Identify and
Correct Indoor Air Problems in Your Home</em> (1993),
lists under chemical contaminants the "combustion gases
generated by the burning of fossil fuels in gas furnaces,
fireplaces, hot water heaters, wood stoves and oil
furnaces." Converting to electric is recommended, as
"sufficient evidence has accumulated on the negative
impact on health of using open flame gas stoves." <br />
<br />
The use of natural gas stoves is linked to asthma and
other respiratory health problems. Increased risk was
established for asthma attacks, waking with shortness of
breath, reduced lung function and increased airway
obstruction. Use of vents did not lessen the harmful
effects (<em>The Lancet</em>, 1996). <br />
<br />
Infants exposed to home gas heating had an increased risk
of developing asthma, with gas being a more significant
risk than tobacco smoke (<em>Epidemiology</em>, 2000). <br />
<br />
Children living in homes with smokers or where gas stoves
were used for heat were nearly twice as likely to have
asthma (<em>Pediatrics</em>, 2001). <br />
<br />
Individuals who used a gas stove seven or more times per
week were at twice the risk of seeking emergency room
treatment for asthma. There’s a significant relationship
between regular gas stove use and hospitalization for
asthma and urgent visits to a physician’s office. At the
65th annual scientific assembly of the American College of
Chest Physicians in Chicago, 1999, Dr Mark Eisnor
cautioned adults with severe asthma to avoid gas stove
cooking. <br />
<br />
"A significant adverse effect of gas stove exposure on
respiratory health in children" more than doubles their
risk for respiratory symptoms, including asthma. A
meta-analysis of all published research in this area finds
that, overall, research supporting the health safety of
gas has serious statistical and/or methodological flaws (<em>Am
J Respir Crit Care Med</em>, 1998). <br />
<br />
Acute short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide from single
episodes of gas cooking was associated with immediate
airflow limitation. Continued exposure from repeated
episodes of gas cooking in asthmatic women was associated
with greater use of rescue bronchodilators (<em>Thorax</em>,
2001). <br />
<br />
Gas cooking generates very high concentrations of oxides
of nitrogen plus more ultra-fine particles than electric
cooking. Recent epidemiology suggests that cardiac effects
cannot be excluded (<em>Occup Environ Med</em>, 2001). <br />
<br />
Gas is toxic due to:<br />
<ul>
<li>the methane itself (an asphyxiant) and gases </li>
<li>impurities (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) </li>
<li>contaminants (radon, methylmercury, organoarsenic,
organolead) </li>
<li>additives (mercaptan odourants) </li>
<li>products of combustion (nitrogen dioxide, carbon
monoxide, fine particulates, polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (including
formaldehyde) and hundreds of other chemicals.</li>
</ul>
Gas harms in four basic ways because:<br />
<ul>
<li>ultrafine particulates irritate the respiratory system</li>
<li>particulates and toxins burden the immune system</li>
<li>overloaded systems can become hyper-sensitized</li>
<li>gas combustion generates water vapour, increasing dust
mites, viruses and bacteria.</li>
</ul>
Imagine what you are breathing when you bend over a gas
cook stove to stir your food or open the oven door. This
toxic brew sticks to food and to clothes in gas dryers.
Natural gas use indoors is a health hazard one can avoid,
simply. Most importantly, do not use a gas range or stove.
Avoiding other gas appliances will also lessen risk.<br />

Is oil and gas related. Not enough food, oh wait, I'm sure they will have enough oil and gas, for THEM. Interesting. EMILYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07970752583265612641noreply@blogger.com
