Hazards of Oil Dispersants

After watching the video, and reading the article we learned that the dispersants can extremely harm the animals and other vegetation around it. Some of the physical defects of the dispersants and oil are sickness, mutations, internal bleeding, brain damage, skin damage, organ damage, and cancer.

Yes, it does because the oil and the dispersants are much more toxic together than either of them separate.

I think that the dispersants is worse because it's very toxic and it mixes with the oil to make the water more toxic therefore killing sea life.
