Not recognized by
researchers ... it is vapors in one's eyes (neither
dermal nor ingestion) that causes the worst exposure
... and at the cuticle areas. Researchers,
still, however, have found out what 2-butoxyethanol
does
There is a product
called Corexit that was sold to the Dept of Defense
after 1989; it is a creation of EXXON and it is 38%
strong with 2-butoxyethanol. It is a hazardous
waste ... very corrosive ... will not stay in the 55
gallon barrels
Would harm Navy
Seabees who transported it
Would have harmed
everyone who went into the
ARMS room, as it sounded like
it was there per one soldiers account to me
Maybe Exxon sold it
for oil spill cleanup?
Valdez area did not
use it; but it was developed in 1989
Sold to Australia for
their 1995 oil spill
A major source of
exposure was likely all the fumes from Scuds and
Patriot Missiles colliding in air
I think it is also a
jet fuel additive
I think Chad Pagel of
Indiana was harmed by it ... he may have died in
this past year ... his buddy did about a year prior.
He described to me a time in a particular battle in
which is group secured the airport. They all
had immediate diarrhea ... big time. (That is
a strong clue to this chemical's exposure... as are
eyes that burn & hurt)
He also put the
gun-cleaning rag on his lap ... and has defatted
skin there . He burned the out house stuff
with jet fuel, not a good thing to do without
goggles
He & his buddy who
died wanted to share their medical info
The CFIDS symptoms
It is still going on
today
Just give a soldier
repetitive job in which this exposure is there ...
& they will get too much
Military needs to pay
attention to flu-like symptoms
This chemical is most
probably what we call 'the flu'
I write these web
pages to capture my thoughts
They are not intended
to be any 'authority
I have worked on this intensively
for 4 years
