Apparently they had to choose the safest dispersant, which, sadly, was still very unsafe. Hopefully an even safer dispersant (or a safer substitute) will be invented soon enough. We should use safer chemicals to make the chemical dispersant safer, or, as I mentioned before, use a safer substitute. The dispersant will probably have long term effects, but not as long as the oil will. However, the oil is less toxic than the dispersant, so you never know...
1. They don't really care about the people in America, as long as they make money in Britain and other locations, they are happy, but they still are responsible for the spill.
2. Remove the toxic ingredients and find safer ones with the same effect.
3. If the dangerous chemicals get into the fish and other sea creatures, then it could potentially poison some of our supply of seafood, which is sad because seafood has a great deal of protein. The effects of chemical dispersants can be red blood cell damage, kidney damage, and liver damage.
BP is using Corexit because the world is all about money.
Actually there is a dispersant called Despersit that uses only about a third of the toxicity of Corexit, and it can clean 70-100% of the oil on average, while Corexit cleans around 50-55%, but Corexit is cheaper.

To be continued...
There very sever side effects just like the incident with DDT. It may last years and poison many, many years.
