Do you know the effects of the Corexit, to clean the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?

Toxicity and alternatives
According to the Alaska Community Action on Toxics, the use of Corexit during the Exxon Valdez oil spill caused "respiratory, nervous system, liver, kidney and blood disorders" in people.[7] According to the EPA, Corexit is more toxic than dispersants made by several competitors and less effective in handling southern Louisiana crude.[11] However, the oil from Deepwater Horizon is not believed to be typical Louisiana crude.

Alternative dispersants which are approved by the EPA are listed on the National Contingency Plan Product Schedule[12] and rated for their toxicity and effectiveness.[13]

Yes, I do.

However, note that it's not being used to "clean" the spill; it's being used to move the oil away from the surface--and the cameras.
