He commented on the children being poisoned:
"...you
know, when you’re on the sand with your children and they dig, and
there’s a little water?—they documented there was over 200 parts per
million of oil waste in the water, and it’s not noticeable to the human
eye... On top of it, the contamination in one of the samples was so
high that when they put the solvent in, as a first step in identifying
how much oil may be in the water, the thing blew up, just as he said,
probably because there was too much Corexit in that particular sample."
When Goodman asked Kaufman to comment on the similarities
between the Ground Zero of the Gulf catastrophe and what happened at
Ground Zero of 911, he explained that he did the ombudsman
investigation on Ground Zero, "where EPA made false statements about
the safety of the air" ... since proven to be false.
Red herring: No more tests needed. Corexit known to be dangerous.
"The
largest ingredient in Corexit is oil. But there are other materials.
And when the ingredients are mixed with oil, the combination of Corexit
or any dispersant and oil is more toxic than the oil itself. But EPA
has all that information.
"That’s a red herring issue being
raised, that we have to somehow know more information. When you look at
the label and you look at the toxicity sheets that come with it, the
public knows enough to know that it’s very dangerous. The National
Academy of Science has done work on it. Toxicologists from Exxon that
developed it have published on it.
"So, we know enough to know
that it’s very dangerous, and to say that we just have to know more
about it is a red herring issue. We know plenty. It’s very dangerous."
