Confirmed: Corexit Still Being Sprayed In the Gulf

Veteran chemist Bob Naman says that Corexit is still being sprayed in the Gulf, and that he found 13.3 parts per million in Cotton Bayou, Alabama.

But the EPA has found that exposure to 42 parts per million killed 50% of mysid shrimp within 4 days (and most of the remaining shrimp didn't last much longer).

The City Engineer for Orange Beach - Kit Alexander - also states that the EPA sets the screening level for dispersant at 750 parts per million (see above video). In other words, the EPA doesn't even test for Corexit at concentrations of less than 750 ppm, even though Corexit at much lower concentrations kills marine life.

And yesterday, toxicologist Dr. Ricki Ott sent the following letter to the EPA which summarizes evidence of ongoing use of dispersants in the Gulf:

and even Lockheed is in on it

it's a bonus.

KNOCK IT OFF, YOU ASSHOLES!

You're making it worse.

It's got electrolytes.

they are still spraying it because, aren't the fines calculated by how much they recover? if they use dispersant, that is less that is recoverable and thus, less they will be fined for. Not that I agree nor condone it, I think they should also be fined by how much dispersant they use.

I live 50 miles from the Gulf and I've had a burning throat, nose, eyes and ears for more than three months now-ESPECIALLY when it rains. Headaches, joint pain, dizziness...all the same symptoms that I have when I'm exposed to industrial chemicals. There are millions of people just like me across the Country, and Corexit will be effecting most of them in the Eastern half of the U.S. since it gets sucked up into rain clouds. The toxic rain is also causing crop damage here in the Gulf States. One way or the other most of you will be effected by the spraying of Corexit, even if you aren't in the southern half of the U.S. Please DEMAND that they stop spraying this crap NOW!

I was told the oil eating microbes had already fixed the problem.
