Residents near a New Orleans-area oil refinery spill who moved back into their homes should not have been allowed to do so if those homes show oil damage, federal officials said Thursday.

Some 1,700 homes were affected when Hurricane Katrina toppled a storage tank at the Murphy Oil refinery in the Meraux-Chalmette area. Oil from the spill mixed in with floodwaters from Katrina, flooding those homes.

Howard Frumkin, director of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, told reporters that a new report by the federal agency advises against “moving back into homes that have visible oil contamination.” [Reas more - MSNBC]
