Live in vicinity of oil refinery in Chalmette La. Quite often, one cannot be outside because of the odors being emitted into the atmosphere. I have noticed on numerous occasions bees falling out the air. Cannot fly and perish. Not the only one. Someone living in the easternly part of the parish in the 5th month of 2009 complained there was a large number of bees dead to the Deq. They in turn contacted the refinery and asked if there was a release of some type. Answer "no" of course. Also stated mosq. spraying taking place. If the bees are dying from this what is it doing to other forms of life? Never noticed this before. The Deq seldomly goes to the field to investigate. Always calls the fox in charge of guarding the hen house. Could it be from whats being emitted during their operations? People are complaining of foul odors, burning eyes, throat and nasil passages. Had someone tell a resident when so2 released they would be contacted so they could shut down their ac unit. This individual has a resporitory problem. What a way to live. Bad enough can't be outside on ones property when they chose, they also have to be locked up in their own home with no ac because of the air quality. I do have samples of the dead bees. Hopefully if someone reads this they could offer some assistance. Plus there seems to be a big time problem with particulate matter. All the sand pits, concrete removals,crushing of concrete, sandblasting of storage tanks [without adequate covering], etc.      HELP WANTED
