(The Witness, SA) "BP said yesterday that it had incurred $350 million in costs so far from the spill, suggesting that the final bill could be much higher than many analysts had predicted and sending its shares to a six-month low."
"Alarm over the use of dispersants to combat the huge U.S. oil leak is being raised by Gulf fishermen and scientists alike, warning that even if the spill is held at bay, the chemicals used to do so may do untold damage. Approximately 1,23 million litres of dispersant have been deployed so far in BPs effort to break up the spreading oil slick (...) and over 1,9 million litres more are available. But the effects it will have on marine life, the shoreline and the people spraying the chemicals are largely a mystery an issue raising concerns in itself."
Unlike the human, some things know no boarders...
