Earthjustice is working to ensure that chemical dispersants used during oil spills, which have been linked to deformities in marine life, are safe. Earthjustice attorney Marianne Engelman Lado comments.

A new study reveals that chemicals used to disperse oil may do more harm than good. Earthjustice attorney Marianne Engelman Lado comments.

A coalition of groups sues the U.S. EPA for failing to determine the safety of chemicals used during oil spill cleanups. Earthjustice attorney Marianne Engelman Lado comments.

Jackie Savitz, Pollution Campaign Director for Ocena. Jacqueline Savitz to the Obama Administration’s Decision to Lift the Deepwater Drilling Moratorium This is an incredibly disconcerting and unjustified move, that could open the door for the next great oil disaster. Oil spills are common. The question is not whether there will be another spill but when. While the recent BP spill occurred on a well permitted by a previous administration, and based on regulations that were not devised by the Obama administration, that will not be the case with the next spill. When the Department of Interior devised its three criteria to be met before the moratorium would be lifted, they seemed reasonable. The industry would have to demonstrate that it could prevent a spill, contain a spill and respond to a spill. But those criteria have not been satisfied and therefore, lifting the moratorium is premature. Whether new safety requirements will be sufficient and whether they will be followed are open questions. Another spill could happen tomorrow, next week or next month, and it may not be easy to contain, as we saw with the BP spill. .http://na.oceana.org Listen >>> Email us your questions for the guests to onair@sustainable1000.com, Tweet us at @sustainable1000, IM on Gtalk @ vannShane or call-in your questions or comments to (347)996-3601.

The Administration claims the “vast majority” of the oil is “gone.” But the latest studies and Congressional hearings say otherwise. How safe is Gulf seafood? What does the future hold? The Ocean Doctor continues the work of unspinning the spin. This week's guest: David Helvarg, president of the Blue Frontier Campaign, author of, “Saved by […] The post The Ocean Doctor – DISASTER, DISPERSANTS & DECEPTION IN THE GULF OF MEXICO appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Although dispersants have been used to help clean up oil spills since the 1960s, it wasn't until the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that these chemicals made their way into the public consciousness. Use of dispersants always involves an environmental tradeoff, but the Deepwater Horizon situation presents special considerations because the chemicals are being used a mile underwater for the first time ever. In this podcast, Dana Wetzel discusses the dispersants used in the Deepwater Horizon spill and research needs regarding how these chemicals may affect aquatic species. Wetzel is a senior scientist and program manager at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida. Visit the podcast webpage to download a full transcript of this podcast.

July 13, 2010: In today’s episode, Jane Van Ryan interviews Dr. David Vaughan of the Mote Marine Laboratory at Summerland Key, Florida, about his research on oil in the water from the Gulf spill and its potential effect on the subsea environment.
