Anything coming from the Gulf of Mexico is being tested for contamination by oil, but not for contamination by chemical oil dispersants, reports the Palm Beach Post.
“The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says a test for dispersants is in the works. Until then, officials are going by the ‘current science’ that dispersants have low potential for harm,” reports ProPublica.
Orwellian Newspeak aside, Corexit is four times more toxic than oil. On May 3rd, the environmental group, Protect the Oceans, reported that “oil is toxic at 11 ppm (parts per million), Corexit 9500 at only 2.61 ppm.” Bear in mind that both are going into the Gulf, and into the food chain.
