Science Education, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 734-761, May 2024.Abstract Maintaining a commitment to social justice teaching can be especially challenging when navigating the bureaucratic systems and ever‐spiraling responsibilities of the education system. To better understand how social‐justice‐oriented educators navigate these tensions, this paper uses qualitative methods to investigate the social justice ...

Evaluation of Toxicity Levels and Cytotoxicity Mechanisms of Corexit 9500 [PDF]
, 2013 The 2010 British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has raised many ecological and health concerns. BP predominately used Corexit9500A to disperse crude oil in the Gulf of Mexico to prevent shoreline contamination.

Interactions between zooplankton and crude oil: toxic effects and bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We conducted ship-, shore- and laboratory-based crude oil exposure experiments to investigate (1) the effects of crude oil (Louisiana light sweet oil) on survival and bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mesozooplankton ...

Acute effects of COREXIT® EC9500A on cardiovascular function
The FASEB Journal, 2011 The goal of these studies was to characterize cardiovascular responses after an acute inhalation exposure to COREXIT® EC9500A, the oil dispersant used in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. Male Sprague Dawley rats underwent a single 5 h exposure to COREXIT® EC9500A (N= 5 exposures, average exposure level 27.12 mg/m

Neurotoxicity Following Acute Inhalation Exposure to the Oil Dispersant COREXIT EC9500A [PDF]
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2011 Consequent to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, there is an emergent concern about the short- and long-term adverse health effects of exposure to crude oil, weathered-oil products, and oil dispersants among the workforce employed to contain and clean up the spill. Oil dispersants typically comprise of a mixture of solvents and

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016 The release of oil into the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) during the Deepwater Horizon event coincided with the white and pink shrimp spawning season. To determine the potential impact on shrimp larvae a series of static acute (24–96 h) toxicity studies with ...

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 There is a growing acceptance worldwide for the application of dispersants as a marine oil spill response strategy. The development of more effective dispersants with less toxicity and higher biodegradability would be a step forward in improving public ...
