Human corpses, feces and oil are just a few of the toxic substances contaminating the New Orleans floodwaters. Officials warn that even skin contact with the polluted water is highly dangerous. So what effects could the toxic sludge have on the residents refusing to leave and the officials working in New Orleans? We'll get insight from chemical toxicologist Dr. Harold Zeliger and Brobson Lutz, former director of Health of New Orleans.
