Hazards of Oil Dispersants
Oil dispersants are very dangerous, especially Corexit 9527 and 9500. It has been proven that oil alone gives marine animals a 98% chance of survival, while oil and dispersants give them a less than 10% chance. This proves that the dispersants are not helping the water but harming it. Some long term effects of many dispersants are internal bleeding (if swallowed), skin sores, and not to mention others. But Nalco insists that the EPA reported that it is having almost no impact on the environment and limiting damage. I sent an e-mail with a bp disclosure to Ms. Leland. If you want the same e-mail, just ask. If Nalco says it is as safe as it is, then the oil is a bigger threat. But if not, the Corexit is the bigger problem. Until tests are done on the other products like Sea Brat #4, we won't know which product is better.
