| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28673702 United States11/30/2012 11:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the dispersent is just like dishwashing soap, it emulsifies the oil, breaks it up into millions of much smaller droplets, so it can penetrate the skin of animals and be absorbed into them much easier. It is actually the mechanical functioning of the smaller droplet size, that makes it more toxic. Detergent stops water from beading up, same as it does with oil. Adding small amounts of detergent to water/fertilizer is good for plants, because it allows it to soak into the ground. |

Quoting: IRQ_1 It makes what was at first wrong into something correct. It "Corrects It" /sarcasm I suppose it would be wrong to not include some links. Corexit 9527, considered by the EPA to be an acute health hazard, is stated by its manufacturer to be potentially harmful to red blood cells, the kidneys and the liver, and may irritate eyes and skin.[15][25] The chemical 2-butoxyethanol, found in Corexit 9527, was identified as having caused lasting health problems in workers involved in the cleanup of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.[26] According to the Alaska Community Action on Toxics, the use of Corexit during the Exxon Valdez oil spill caused people "respiratory, nervous system, liver, kidney and blood disorders".[17] Like 9527, 9500 can cause hemolysis (rupture of blood cells) and may also cause internal bleeding.[5] [link to en.wikipedia.org] Jack of all trades master of none "shall not be infringed."
