quote:What a slant. The MSDS for pesticides sprayed on your food say it's a deadly poison. And it is -in large enough dose. But... spread out into minute doses, it's harmless.
A safety data sheet about the principal dispersant that the company has reported using during the ongoing spill says "no toxicity studies have been conducted on this product," and labels "the potential human hazard: High."

The point here is that action is being taken without knowing what the impact will be. I'm not saying that I disagree with the action, but we really don't know and some study should have been done by now. WRT dilution, you don't know how diluted that stuff is. Lots could be bound up with the oil creating a really toxic brew.

They just quoted the MSDS.
The point is that a toxic substance is being dumped into the Gulf in huge amounts where no one knows what the effects will be.
The Corexit is hardly being used in minute doses.
