Hello Jeff - Here is proof that the US knew back in 1979 that the dispersants using Corexit 9527 were dangerous and had an inability to treat weathered oil. Eventually, it was requested Mexico stop using dispersants north of

25 Degrees N.


From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixtoc_I_oil_spill

"Pemex contracted Conair Aviation to spray the chemical dispersant Corexit 9527 on the oil. A total of 493 aerial missions were flown, treating 1,100 square miles of oil slick. Dispersants were not used in the U.S. area of the spill because of the dispersant's inability to treat weathered oil. Eventually the on-scene coordinator (OSC) requested that Mexico stop using dispersants north of 25°N.[7]"
