5. Corexit - The 700k gallons of unknown (proprietary) chemicals BP has pumped into the gulf
so that the oil "sinks".

It breaks crude down to globs and much of it sinks rather than floats.

BP uses this toxin to minimize the visual surface residue (for the cameras).

Our EPA said it is too toxic and that they need to stop.

BP told the FDA, "fuck you" and the EPA apologized for disrupting their operations and told them to keep on keeping on.

Where in holy hell OSHA is on this is the $64,000 question as they seemingly fell off the planet.
