A new oil spill, estimated to have released as much as 157,000 gallons per day into Brazil’s Campos Basin, is the latest evidence of the dangers of offshore drilling.
This accident is just one of many oil spills that occur each day, and often go unnoticed. Yet, they do extraordinary damage to marine ecosystems. Oceana, in partnership with SkyTruth, has posted a Web-based mapping tool to help inform policymakers and the public about oil spills in U.S. waters. The tool is now accessible online at http://www.stopthedrill.org.
SkyTruth automatically compiles and publishes oil spill reports from the National Response Center (NRC), which is data self-reported by the oil industry, the public and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s incident news reports. Because most of the NRC spill reports are filed by the polluters themselves, the number and size of oil spills occurring each day may far exceed even those depicted on the map.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is helping New York City reduce air pollution with a two million dollar grant to replace two old high polluting locomotive engines that operate in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens with cleaner technology. The grant was awarded to the New York City Department of Small Business Services and its partner, the New York City Economic Development Corporation. In addition, EPA is granting the National School Transportation Association $460,753 to replace three older diesel school buses with new buses, retrofit 40 older school buses with emission control and idle reduction technologies and install idle reduction technologies on an additional 118 school buses. This project will improve air quality in the areas in which the buses operate, which includes Queens, Rockland and Nassau counties in New York. Older diesel engines generate significant amounts of fine particles, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, which are released into the air and can make people sick.
“Reducing air pollution from diesel engines helps decrease asthma attacks, respiratory problems, lost work days due to illness and premature death,” said Judith A. Enck, EPA Regional Administrator. “EPA’s support of clean diesel programs is eliminating tons of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides and is providing enormous health benefits.”
