Smell/Sight Test Doesn't Reveal Toxicity in Seafood

From Non-Profit Times:
The organization [Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN)] has been increasingly concerned about the toxic combination of crude oil and dispersant, and Orr said LEAN has been sampling in the Mississippi River Delta, Oyster Bay in Louisiana, and the Lower Atchafalaya Bay Area.
Blue crab samples in the Atchafalaya Bay contained a dangerously high 8.815 mg/kg of hydrocarbons, for example, according to LEAN’s reports.
“When we took samples, there was no visible smell or sight of oil,” Orr said. “We were astonished there were levels like that. You can’t eat a crab like that, with those levels of hydrocarbons.”
The organization has been discussing seafood safety with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the EPA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAHH), and continuing to sample biota including mussels, crab, shrimp and fish. LEAN is in the process of creating a sampling plan for up to the next five years focusing on Louisiana, Orr said.
“I am really disturbed and I think the country is divided in its thought process,” she said. “If you live away from the Gulf, you think everything is alright. If you live here, you know it’s not alright.”
