After the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, BP applied 1.84 million gallons of Corexit dispersant. A peer-reviewed study found crude oil becomes 52 times more toxic when combined with Corexit. The dispersant served a PR purpose: making the oil invisible on TV screens while actually increasing toxicity. BP rebuffed EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's request to use a less toxic alternative — and Jackson couldn't legally require it. Corexit suppressed natural oil-degrading bacteria and caused devastating long-term health effects in cleanup workers.
BP sprayed 1.84 million gallons of toxic Corexit during Deepwater Horizon, making oil 52x more toxic — to hide it from TV cameras
“The dispersant BP is spraying is more toxic than the oil itself. They're using it to make the spill look smaller on camera, not to clean it up. Workers are getting sick from the Corexit.”
