BP and NOAA agree that of the approximately 4 million gallons of oily water that have been skimmed from the Gulf of Mexico spill, only about 10 percent is actual oil. That is a ratio similar to snow and rainfall.

436,000 gallons of chemical dispersants designed to break up the oil into smaller droplets have been sprayed. Some experts are concerned that those dispersants may be toxic to marine life.
