Lieing sacks of shit
How much money changed hands for this sell out' All anybody has to do is read the MSDS sheets to find out the real deal. Maybe that's what their counting on, no one will read it. Well for sure no one in Government has.
I was initially against heavy use of dispersant, but then read where an environmental scientist said the stuff actually does make the oil more digestible to bacteria more quickly. That could mean less damage and quicker recovery of the ecosystem.
As for this guy's claim about dispersant being many times less toxic than dish soap, testing should be able to establish that.
The one thing about this video that really puts me off is that while telling us how benign the dispersant is, I notice he's wearing protective gloves. Ahem.
SW I have an read the MSDS sheets on corexit.(both kind) This is pretty bad stuff. The PPE suggest Even Respirators. This shit is nothing new as it's been in use for over 30 years. It's made by a subsidiary of the oil company's. In reading the MSDS it also tells of the health hazards. They could be both chronic and acute. Considering how much of this shit they've used and the workerscurrently getting sick I'd bet the farm that's a main cause. The crude in of itself is bad as when it reacts to atmospheric conditions it changes to a point where there almost breathing pure gasoline. Even the damn Mud they were using had chemicals in it. EPA wanted BP to stop using the corexit but they refused and are still using it. They are considering something else. Let's hope whatever that is they won't profit over that.
