More than 70 days into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill some workers are getting special breathing apparatus.

The Deepwater Horizon Response Unified Command, which includes BP and government agencies, announced Thursday that teams working at the well site and workers conducting controlled burns of the oil are being given respirators.

Workers had not been given breathing protection previously.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency oil can give off toxic vapors as it evaporates.

Coulon said other crews working on the response, such as those with beach cleanup teams and on skimming vessels, are not being given the protective breathing equipment, but can wear their own personal masks if they choose.

Given how many of their workers have become ill, this should have happened at the very beginning, dammit. Thank you BP, for being such assholes.
