Why would they do tests on something they knew was unstable?
Why did the government try to keep it hidden?
Why didn't they have an evacuation plan for if this problem happened in the future?
Why did they let people run around crazy instead of evacuating them?
Why didn't the government try to help people when the explosion first occured?

8:30 catalyst
1) The toxic waste began to push towards the surface in the blizzard of 1977 when the rive flooded.
2) Some health hazards in the love canal were liver problems and cancer.
3). Other parts of the ecosystem are effected by the chemicals because they seeped in to the water and the land.

Hazards of oil Dispersants
Does solving one problem create another even larger problem? Why?
-Yes, because the chemical dispersants that are being used to solve the oil spill are more toxic than the oil spill it's self. The dispersants can be just as deadly as the spill.
Which do you think is worse; oil spill or the chemical dispersant?
-I think that the chemical dispersant is worse because it is 4 times as toxic as the oil. Also, the dispersants are making the oil sink to the bottom of the water, this made the people believe that it was gone when in reality it made the oil have a strong effect on the bottom dwelling marine animals too. Even when the oil spill is cleaned up the dispersants will still remain in the water and atmosphere. When the chemical is dumped into the water it also gets spayed into the atmosphere because it is not put directly into the water, but sprayed by a plane near the waters surface.

Chemical Dispersants
How long do chemical dispersants stay in the environment?
Why use chemical dispersants if they are as dangerous as what you are trying to get rid of?
What will happen to the sea life eventually?
