Apparently it is so toxic that Persons exposed to the Dispersant have a lifespan of 52 years. Workers doomed. Locals eating fish, frequenting the beach will die from it.
It is poisonous to:
Touch
Inhale
Drink
And is even more toxic when mixed with oil.

Not certain about the sources, but it is worth pointing out that the stuff they are helping to clean up is carsinogenic in and of itself. There are a whole range of seriously carsinogens in crude.
It also causes basementrogloditititis.
Peer-review pls.
also, how can the following claim be substantiated, given that so very little research has been done on Corexit 9500:
"it is so toxic that Persons exposed to the Dispersant have a lifespan of 52 years."
I suspect that the following are far stronger sources of information on the dispersant:
http://lmrk.org/corexit_9500_uscueg.539287.pdf
http://nalco.com/news-and-events/4297.htm.
Even Mother Jones provides more detail than your Aussie source.
*This just in common skin lotion reduces avarage lifespan to 52 years.*
Talk about alarmist sensational fear mongering 'news' reports.
put it in the basket!!!!!

What degrees she specifically has will have to be found by someone who cares just a little more than I do.
