Well they aren’t using ours. Trust me, I was “the environmental go to guy” for the “chemical” company. The toxicity studies were in place ... had to be or you couldn’t even transport the stuff. But I haven’t got a clue about what they are using now. My guess is the media hype about the “chemicals” will shut down dispersant applications ... probably the ONLY thing that could save the day at this point. Ah well, glad I’m retired now. Not my problem. Enjoy.

I looked into it a little. The main one is Corexit EC9500A. The MSDS sheet I read considered it pretty harmless, as solvents go. So, I assume things are better by using the dispersant, than not using anything. I think the worry is the quantities of both oil and dispersant that will eventually be in the water.
