On August 19, 2024, ALERT and allies petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the new truth-in-reporting rules to remove toxic Corexit oil dispersants from the list of products authorized for use in oil spill response, based on known human health impacts. Removing them would ban use in the United States.
ALERT and allies also advocated that the United Nations remove discontinued Corexit products from its hazard communications system, of which the United States is a party, and to adopt truth-in-reporting guidelines like in the United States to ensure countries have accurate and current information to make informed choices. Removing them would ban use globally.
Hear from the people who lived through the disaster
Exactly 10 years since the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, ALERT hosted a series of live interviews to raise awareness about the ongoing suffering and chronic illnesses of those who lived and worked near the disaster.
The ALERT Project is a project of Earth Island Institute, a nonprofit organization incorporated under the laws of California. Earth Island’s mission is to support environmental action projects and build the next generation of environmental leaders to achieve solutions to environmental crises threatening the survival of life on Earth.
