Oil and Health

As the oil continues to destroy life in the gulf, we water people have been ignored. While everyone seems focused on fishermen, tourists and economic impact, NO one is talking about long term effects on daily water users!
Over a million gallons of dispersant corexit 9500 have been sprayed in the gulf. Here is a link to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). http://www.inspectapedia.com/hazmat/Corexit_9500_UsCueg.539287.pdf
If you get Ill from being in the gulf, fill out an ocean illness form for surfrider. Find it at surfrider.org under the water quality tab.
