Hazards of Oil Dispersants

I have found that many of the chemicals in the chemical dispersants are harmful to the environment. These chemicals are polluting the water and getting the animals and humans sick. The chemicals come in many form and it does not go away easily. If you try and burn the oil, it pollutes the are but if you keep it in the water then it is just killing animals in those waters.

I do believe that getting rid of the oil in the gulf with dispersants is creating a bigger problem because the dispersants has bad chemicals that can hurt you. The bigger problem is that we are hurting more than just the fish in the water and the birds that swim in it, we are hurting ourselves. We need to make this world a better places for ourselves and by adding all of those chemicals to the water, we are not doing a very good job.

I believe that chemical dispersants is worse than the oil spill because chemical dispersants has more harmful to those who encounter it. Chemical dispersants has known to have toxic chemicals in it. Therefore, it is instantly sickening or killing the fish when we are supposed to be helping them. Also, anyone who swims in those waters has the probability of getting sick if people are even allowed in the water because it is polluted by chemicals or oil.
