He added that officials are doing all they can to limit the use of dispersants at the surface, even tho BP has said it would ignore EPA warnings about the toxic chemicals being used to "disperse", that is, hide the oil. he did state much more has been used than could have been originally envisioned.

Scientists have raised serious concerns about the potential long-term effects that dispersants could have on marine life. This is because at 3 parts per million, these poisons will break the food chain wherever they arrive, from krill to blue whales.

BP placed the containment cap over the leaking well late Thursday after severing the pipe that lies a mile beneath the water's surface.

BP botched the cut it had originally hoped for, which means that it hasn't been able to get as tight a seal as needed to keep oil from leaking, thereby maintaining the flow from mc252 into the Gulf, increasing its liability.

The Macondo well --MC252-- has been spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons a day of oil since the explosion on April 20 and sinking two days later of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig owned by Transocean Ltd. The disaster is causing devastating ecolological and economic harm to a wide area of the U.S. Gulf Coast, and the effects will continue to reeach inland until the entire economy is damaged.
