A new peer-reviewed study from researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington; the University of Nevada, Reno; Mokwon University in Daejeon, Korea; and Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi shows the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill of 2010 affected wildlife and their habitat much more than previously understood. The work is published in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin. "Overall, we found the area of deep-sea floor affected by the DWH spill was significantly larger than previously thought," said Masoud Rostami, an author of the study and assistant professor of instruction in UTA's Division of Data Science.

Kroelian EISCUE

It is beleived EISCUE arrived to Kroel when a small group of them came floating on a glaciar from Galar. Unfortunately for them, they arrived to the northern shore of Kroel, a zone where oil naturally spils into the sea, affecting both the enviroment and the pokemon. Eventually they were able to adapt, but they have changed a lot from their Galarian counterparts.

It has the ability "Flammable" and this ability will make it change its form and type depending on certain conditions

In its Oily form it becomes a Poison type. In this form its head and body are covered by a layer of natural oil, this makes him inmune to water type moves but if its hit with a fire type move, or gets burnt, the oil will ingnite and will change into its "burning form" In its Burning form it becomes a Fire type. The oil that covers its body starts burning, its attack increases and contact with it may leave the foe burnt, but if hit with a water type move or if it starts raining the fire will burn out In its Burn outform it becomes a Ghost Type. The oil protecting its body dissapears, leaving a cloud of thick white smoke in its place, its attack and defense will decrease, but all pokemons accuracy in the battle will be lowered too due to the smoke, it will remain like this until switched out or hit by a poison type move

This EISCUE can be found in the same are as Kroelian SANDYGAST & PALOSSAND

The Kanien'kehá:ka Nation at Kahnawà:ke, the traditional seat of government for the community south of Montreal, is calling for compensation from the provincial and federal governments after an oil spill traced to the neighbouring city of Châteauguay seeped onto its territory.

The nation says Kahnawà:ke community members only became aware of the presence of fuel seepage more than a week after an industrial spill took place in early February.

Several dozen Kahnawà:ke residents and members of the nation, also known as the Longhouse, presented themselves at Châteauguay's city hall Friday morning to meet Mayor Éric Allard.

Excerpt from this story from DeSmog Blog:

The pungent smell of oil woke Gerald and Janet Crappel on the morning of Saturday, July 27. Stepping outside their home on the banks of Bayou Lafourche in Raceland, Louisiana, they spotted the fumes’ source: crude oil from Crescent Midstream’s Raceland pump station was gushing into the picturesque waterway, sparsely lined with homes and fishing boats, via a stormwater canal directly across from their home.

The oil’s fumes were thick that morning. “It choked you,” Gerald told DeSmog correspondent Julie Dermansky, who documented the incident as it unfolded. Before cleanup crews contained the spill, reportedly 34,000 gallons of crude oil, a slick stretched for eight miles, just past the area’s drinking water system.

According to the spill’s Unified Command of federal, state, local, and company representatives, results from “continuous air quality monitoring” were well below “actionable” levels and “indicate that there is no anticipated risk to human health” and the public water supply was safe to drink. That messaging didn’t change throughout the duration of the spill and the cleanup efforts that followed. However, a DeSmog investigation raises questions about whether the environmental monitoring conducted was robust enough to make such determinations.

The Crescent Midstream oil spill, relatively small compared to the state’s more notorious spills and other industrial accidents, represents a microcosm of the larger issues with transparency and accountability from regulators and their close relationships with, and reliance on, those responsible for environmental disasters. Time and again, this leaves those impacted by any pollution events, like those who live along Bayou Lafourche who were exposed to the fumes from the spill, wondering what was in the air and what long-term impacts, if any, the spill may have on the environment and their health.

From the first day, the Unified Command sought to reassure residents that robust air monitoring indicated, despite the powerful stench in the air that sickened some, that the oil spill didn’t pose a threat to human health.

The vast majority of the reported air tests were done by a controversial contractor, CTEH, hired by Crescent Midstream, the responsible party. At a Unified Command press conference just before 3:00 p.m. on the first day of the spill, a Crescent Midstream spokesperson described deploying crews right away to monitor the air for anything that “might be unsafe for the public.” “None of them have reached the level of concern for the general public,” Crescent’s Michael Smith said of the early air readings. 

Yet the public still has no access to the air test results referenced at that press conference. The first publicly available readings reported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the lead federal agency in the Unified Command, were collected late in the day on July 27, just as stormy conditions shut down the spill response for that day. 

Days later, the Unified Command directed the public and the media to an EPA StoryMap on a website devoted to the spill. Inexplicably, though it reported a couple dozen test results from the evening of the first day of the spill, the EPA reported no air test results for the day after the spill and the first date for a publicly available air test collected by Crescent Midstream’s contractor, CTEH, is over 48 hours after the oil spill, on July 29.

On February 7th a vessel overturned causing a massive oil spill spanning 10 miles off the coast of Tobago 🇹🇹

Cleanup is in progress but this will have devastating effects to the environment.
