Comparison of the Acute Toxicity of Corexit 9500 and Household Cleaning Products
Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: An International Journal, 2014 ABSTRACTSurfactant formulations used in chemical dispersing agents are derived from the same functional components used in numerous household products such as dishwashing soaps and laundry detergents. During the Deep Water Horizon (DWH) oil spill response, a significant volume of chemical dispersant was deployed, causing members of the public and the ...

Effect of Chemical Corexit 9527 on28 Day old TILAPIA GUINEENSIS FINGERLINGS
International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering, 2023 The primary focus of this study is to assess the toxicity of the chemical corexit 9527 to 28 day old fresh water tilapia guineensis fingerlings. The toxicity of the chemical corexit 9527 to 28 day old fresh water tilapia guineensis fingerlings was studied in the static renewal bioassay glass tank, using tap water. The 28 day old tilapia guineensis

Dispersed Crude Oil Induces Dysbiosis in the Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus External Microbiota [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The fish external microbiota competitively excludes primary pathogens and prevents the proliferation of opportunists. A shift from healthy microbiota composition, known as dysbiosis, may be triggered by environmental stressors and increases host ...

The effect of pressure variation on droplet size distribution of dispersed oil under simulated deep-water conditions [PDF]
Heliyon, 2021 Droplet size distribution of dispersed oil in deep-water is critical to the transport and biodegradation of spilled oil in deep-sea. Few studies have focused on the effects of pressure on chemically dispersed oil through experiments.

Investigation into the Toxicity of Corexit - A new oil dispersant
, 1969 In view of the high degree of toxicity (Smith 1968, Simpson 1968) of BP 1002, Gamlen Oil Spill Remover, Dasic Slickgone and other "detergents" used in Cornwall to combat pollution from Torrey Canyon oil, it was considered desirable to investigate the toxicity of a compound marketed as an oil dispersant under the brand name "Corexit 7664", claimed by ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 2580-2594, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Following an oil spill, accurate assessments of the ecological risks of exposure to compounds within petroleum are required, as is knowledge regarding how those risks may change with the use of chemical dispersants. Laboratory toxicity tests are frequently used to assess these risks, but differences in the methods for preparation of oil‐in ...
