Too bad corporate profits always seem to win over human health concerns in anything to do with the chemical industry.

Since the EPA cares more about the chemical industry's profits than protecting the environment, we continue to see the increased use of dangerous chemicals. Corexit made the Gulf oil spill even worse than it already was since Corexit just mixed with the oil making it look like it was gone. The EPA is hollow and your corruption is killing the environment and harming our health.

As a friend from Alabama said to use toxic dispersants is like 'spilling paint into the water and then using paint thinner to clean it'.
Again the clean up is only for cosmetic purposes. it's a cover-up, a means to save the oil companies billions in profits.

How shocking this was to watch. Our government needs to step in and stop the use of Corexit.

Informed (& thus outraged) citizens are all too-aware of the tragic, continuing contamination caused by BP's reckless negligence in dumping thousands of barrels of Corexit into the Gulf of Mexico that were just as poisonous as the thousands of barrels of its spilled oil that Corexit woefully failed to disperse. But what the hell — with typically criminal negligence, BP just kept dumping worse chemicals after bad -- to the obvious, avoidable, fatal detriment of the Gulf of Mexico, its inhabitants of all species and the human beings who are still struggling to live and survive in this poisoned region. To keep BP & other Fools for Fossil Fuels from committing such idiocy ever again, the EPA must finally act to take this ecocidal weapon out of their bumbling hands!

These are HUMAN BEINGS!!!! There is no amount of money or political agenda that should be put above the safety and well being of an individual! This non regulated issue is just another example of an ongoing problem that is threatening our environment, wildlife, people, and ultimately OUR FUTURE for humanity !!! We need to be LEADERS for HUMANITY and NOT FOR MONEY AND POWER!!!! What kind of WORLD will WE THE PEOPLE leave for OUR CHILDREN and OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN???

The really horrible reality of this is that the local media is not reporting the ongoing, serious health issues. Big oil is running print and T.V. coverage. Locals do feel the effect of the $$ cost and availability of seafood but health issues are seldom reported on.

The use of these dispersants, which in fact make a bad situation worse, should be made illegal. BP should be paying all of the medical costs for those affected as well a punitive damages and those responsible for the decision to deliberately injure clean up workers in order to make BP look better should go to jail and pay fines. This is a no brainer.

Dear EPA Staff:
It's bad enough that the ocean is not a bluer blue but a greener icky green.
It's bad enough our wildlife are dying
in droves . It's bad enough that the contamination from BP had a half
an effort for it's unusual noncompetitive role in this ocean
disaster and the excuses that BP
would make any US comic on stage
get everyone bellyaching in laughter but seriously folks I have tried to stay
away from oil, gas, nucleic and now
pesticide mix. What are we making here a molitov cocktail so that the next boat or oil company drilling for fossil fuel we don't even have to have a rescue of men involved in the drilling part they would be dead from
inhaling the waters contents. It would
be a recovery not a rescue effort. I will consistently be a thorn in your side if you continue to make the ocean not safe for anyone's pleasure
not to mention those that have no choice but to endure it's contents.
Stop this spreading of chemicals!!!
Do you even know what you are
using and what the contents mix
will do with what is already in the
water? You better not swallow
the water or swallow at your own
risk. Summer is coming and folks
will come in droves to cool off hold
off this new item to the mix before
you destroy every living thing.
Sincerely,
judy wisboro
