Below are the ingredients for Corexit, as well as Louisiana Crude Oil. We the people demand that you institute HOURLY testing for every ingredient listed below across the entire Gulf Coast. We also demand that you report the results in a timely and easily understandable format so that residents of the Gulf Coast have complete transparency about the the levels of toxins in the air and water around them. This is, after all, your job.

CRUDE OIL (partial list)

We also call on you to test for ACID RAIN, since farmers on the Gulf Coast are now complaining of harmful chemicals wrecking their crops, suspected to be from aerial spraying of Corexit landing inland.

From National Library of Medicine:

Crude oil is a mixture of a wide variety of constituents. It consists primarily of hydrocarbons, which are chemicals composed of hydrogen and carbon. Crude oil also contains hundreds of substances that include benzene, chromium, iron, mercury, nickel, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, toluene, and xylene.

Exposure to crude oil may irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. It may cause dizziness, rapid heart rate, headaches, confusion, and anemia. Prolonged skin contact with crude oil may cause skin reddening, edema, and burning of the skin.

When crude oil is burned, either accidentally or as a spill control measure, it emits chemicals that affect human health. These chemicals include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide , and volatile organic compounds.

If you are exposed to burning crude oil, you may be exposed to high levels of particulate matter and may experience the health effects of particulate matter. Exposure to burning crude oil may harm the passages of the nose, airways, and lungs. It may cause shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, coughing, itching, red or watery eyes, and black mucous.

Handling tarballs may cause an allergic skin reaction or skin rashes.
