Washington -- Results of toxicity testing on dispersants used in the gulf oil spill found them no more toxic than they oil they disperse, U.S. officials say.

The Environmental Protection Agency published peer-reviewed results from the second phase of its independent toxicity testing on mixtures of eight oil dispersants, an agency release said Monday.

The dispersant used by BP in response to the oil spill in the gulf, Corexit 9500A, when mixed with oil, is generally no more or less toxic than mixtures with the other available alternatives, the report said.

The results indicate dispersant-oil mixtures are generally no more toxic to the aquatic test species than oil alone.
