An Inhalation Exposure System for the Oil Dispersant COREXIT® EC9500A
The FASEB Journal, 2011 An automated whole body inhalation exposure system capable of exposing 12 rats was designed to examine the potential health effects of the oil dispersant (COREXIT® EC9500A [CE]) used during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. A computer‐controlled syringe pump injected the CE into an atomizer where droplets and vapor were formed and ...

BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS MONITORING DURING AN OPERATIONAL APPLICATION OF COREXIT 95801 [PDF]
International Oil Spill Conference Proceedings, 1995 ABSTRACT Following the grounding of the barge Morris J. Berman on the northern coast of Puerto Rico in January 1994, conditional approval for the use of the shoreline cleaner Corexit 9580 was granted. One requirement was the inclusion of biological effects monitoring, particularly during the first operational application.

The Deep-Sea Microbial Community from the Amazonian Basin Associated with Oil Degradation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 One consequence of oil production is the possibility of unplanned accidental oil spills; therefore, it is important to evaluate the potential of indigenous microorganisms (both prokaryotes and eukaryotes) from different oceanic basins to degrade oil. The

BP Gulf Science Data Reveals Ineffectual Subsea Dispersant Injection for the Macondo Blowout
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 After the Deepwater Horizon oil platform explosion, an estimated 172.2 million gallons of gas-saturated oil was discharged uncontrollably into the Gulf of Mexico, causing the largest deep-sea blowout in history.

Mechanical responses to COREXIT® EC9500A in rat trachea in vitro
The FASEB Journal, 2011 Oil dispersant COREXIT ® EC9500A (CE) was used to reduce the environmental impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. Little is known of the pulmonary effects of CE on airway smooth muscle and nerves. We investigated in vitro the effects of CE on rat tracheal preparations. In tracheal
