Sometimes people are said to have died from a heart attack or by leukemia when instead it is more likely collapse from not having enough blood cells. (?) Should the Anchorage Daily News say when people worked on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup when they give an obituary?
Does anyone know what the difference is
in the blood when someone gets leukemia non-oil related, and when it's
related to the oil... as in this man, "H" ... who only had one solid week's
exposure end of March, 1989. How long after exposure before the blood
counts are down? aplastic anemia

(per literature on benzene)
Died October, 1998: H's blood counts shared by wife
In H's case, he was said to have died from leukemia. But where are the elevated white blood cell counts? Does this look like he had low red blood cells, and almost no WBCs and PLTs? What would a second medical review of his records say? |

What should our EVOS people be tested for when exposed to the oil? * Benzene Hazard sheet http://www.state.nj.us/health/eoh/rtkweb/0197.pdf & valdezlink.com/pages/benzene.htm Dr. Rea will tell doctors or limited individuals, if appropriate, what lab he uses, and what additional testing he would order... for chemicals... or for oil valdezlink.com/evos/doc_general.htm |

Thought: If the workers exposed to too much 2-butoxyethanol or too much benzene in the oil
come down with other complications, they will still have either
hemolytic anemia (autoimmune) 7-10-05
aplastic anemia as well. |
