Hazards of oil dispersants

I do be believe that solving one problem creates a larger problem. By putting oil dispersants in the water, we may be coating the oil, but if the coating is dangerous, it doesn't do any good for that reason. It is proven that the oil dispersants and the oil together are more dangerous and harmful than either of them alone. The marine life is at risk just by breathing and eating. If the plankton eats the kelp covered in the oil, then the plankton's predators eat the plankton and they eat the oil and the oil and the oil dispersants steadily progress through the food chain.

The government is not helping with the oil spill as much as they could. BP is trying to cover up just how bad the oil spill is by telling the public that the oil is getting cleaned up much faster and more efficiently than it actually is and that the oil is being cleaned through chemicals that are not nearly as harmful as they actually are. The problem with this is that if they are lying, then the oil spill will be much harder to clean up because no one knows exactly what is in the various chemicals that are now in the ocean. While we should all be working together to get rid of the oil and save the environment, that has not presented itself to be an option. The reason is because BP's goal is to defend the company in order to save its reputation instead of save the environment.

What many people don't understand is that when BP says that the oil is gone, what they really mean is that the oil is in the air or just in another part of the ocean. The oil will never be completely gone. What environmentalists, like Susan Shaw are working on now is getting the oil away from the animals. Poor animals should not be dying because of the mistakes humans make. It is now our job to make sure that as few animals as possible due to the oil. Although we cannot reverse the spill, we can try our best to make sure the oil is out of their habitat and be extra careful to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
