How many gallons of oil are being burned daily in the Gulf & how is the environment affected?

This morning the news mentioned that they are burning a great deal of oil daily to "help" keep the Gulf "clean". But how is this affecting the air quality in the area and around the Gulf. Wouldn't this be equivalent to having 10,000 diesel fishing boats earning a living? But instead it is being wasted.

And then the question is how much pollution is this adding to the atmosphere?
