Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Workers - Exxon's Collateral Damage
Exxon Authorize the Toxic Chemicals for Spraying Alaska's Oily Beaches, which has caused many deaths and health complications, without any compensation from Exxon. Survivors of the cleanup are struggling as Exxon's collateral damage.
Little attention was given to EVOS workers who blasted Alaska's oily beaches, with hot seawater from high pressure hoses. They were engulfed in toxic fumes containing aerosolized crude oil?benzene and other toxic chemicals. View photos at: www.silenceinthesound.com/gallery.shtml
The 1989 EVOS beach cleanup workers are suffering from long-term health problems resulting from toxic chemical exposures. A significant number of the workers have died. Some of the illnesses include neurological impairment, chronic respiratory disease, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, liver damage, and blood diseases.
