The article claims that:

Corexit, the oil dispersant used in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, is rated at 54.7% effective against South Louisiana crude oil and three times as lethal to silverfish and more than twice as lethal to shrimp.

This claim refers to an article on wired.com. The wiki article on Corexit#Effectiveness claims the exact oposite refering to an EPA document from a single study by the EPA research lab which states:

The rank order toxicity of the eight dispersants was generally similar to the information provided in the NCP Product Schedule. For both test species, Dispersit SPC1000 was the most toxic and JD-2000 the least toxic.

When you look into the EPAs NCP you find confirmation of the claims from the wired.com article.

No matter what is wrong here, this should at least be consistent in the wikipedia.

I put this comment in the discussion page of both articles. --88.78.140.189 (talk) 21:36, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
