Hazzards of oil dispersants

After reading the article and watching the video we learned that BP is using a chemical called corexit to dissovle and break down the oil through the water. The articles said that BP claimed 26% of the oil is left are tarballs were sheen. We also learned that some of the long term effects on marine life are the existing tar balls sinking to the bottom of the ocean and polluting the sea floor and sea floor marine life such as crabs and lobsters. Also there is some of the tar balls washing up on shore polluting the beaches.
