  7. TED Video Susan Shaw is an internationally recognized marine toxicologist, author and explorer. Susan Shaw: The Oil Spill's Toxic Trade-Off (16:42) "Both types of Corexit dispersants used in the Gulf contain solvents – petroleum distillates that are animal carcinogens – capable of killing or depressing the growth of a wide range of aquatic species. For vulnerable species such as phytoplankton, corals and small fish, the combined effects of Corexit and dispersed oil can be greater and last longer than the effects of oil alone."
