What's in Corexit? Ethylene Oxide and 38% is 2-butoxyethanol?

What is the 'story' of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup? / It was an experiment, plain 'n simple

Inipol EAP 22 was selected for use of the products tried; it had 12% 2-BUTOXY ETHANOL;

Corexit has 38% 2-butoxyethanol; however, EPA has banned use of Inipol

Inipol EAP 22 was more of a surfactant than a fertilizer C:N:P = 62:5:1 that's bad *

"A researcher * was also amazed bacteria had not broken down the oil." *.

Next time, don't let Exxon run the show *

"I am amazed that a Biochemist did not (apparently) have the opportunity of evaluating your Inipol product, before approving it for general use." - field & lab tested simultaneously *

"In regard to C:N:P:S ratios, these are not appropriate. Further there are molecular "Keys", catalysts, micro nutrients to be considered as well.

Surely, almost any Biochemist/Bacteriologist would know that" - per a Specialist in the bioremediation field.

2-butoxyethanol is the most prevalently found glycol ether (half the time this is the glycol ether in use) * *

Can you believe this? Exxon has switched to the most dangerous ingredient of Inipol EAP 22 & don't seem to be giving full information on it. Surely Exxon knows ingredients are not allowed to be proprietary after 1997 court ruling regarding such for pesticides! *

So, the plan is to dump poison into our Alaska waters...hoping Exxon can come up with a money maker? What about the people? What about the marine life! *

Decline of Herring - Thoughts March, 2009 / 20 year anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill issues

Herring numbers have leveled off & not spiked since about 1993 (?) and there have been no herring fished as a crop since 1995

*Alyeska is still using Corexit;

however, they are not able to utilize it like they want to for lack of the necessary permits. Thus a proposed plan to test Corexit in Alaska's ocean... over the objection of RCAC... that appropriate lab testing has not been done appropriately.
