Did the EXXON Valdez Oil Spill cleanup - damage the health of many hundreds of young men?
Aug, 1989 - 1990
If a long term health study had been done, as mandated by law *
(in use of a 6.1 toxic scale ingredient)
e v e r y o n e would know the answer to that question, including the workers who n e e d to know
inipol EAP 22 used experimentally * page bottom
If hundreds of young men were 'abused' by a company for a new product's sake... & health information gathered was not for their benefit; not knowing they are at severe risk for cancers ...
with blood problems * and central nervous system damage * immediately apparent,
wouldn't Republicans also be concerned?
Why does the public perceive that only Democrats are concerned for environmental issues?
Workers are at serious health risk. *
Do we have to wait for everyone to die off to draw that conclusion?*
History has a tendency to repeat itself. Let's help evaluate what really happened... to help ourselves, others now and those possible workers of the future!
(Experiment bad? Evidence buried?)* 2-butoxyethanol being reconsidered by OSHA *
"They were mostly all YOUNG & they were all men, the crew of 'bioremediation' workers: many of them earning money for their college education," commented the supervisor of 60 workers that he hired. What about the other teams of workers? What were these men's goals and aspirations? What have they done in their lives before and after this work? If you were one of these workers, please share!
What workers & those who know them, have to share *
"... there are the serious health consequences for use of the product with 2-butoxyethanol per its MSDS ...
No protective gear * was even possible, nor probably ever could be ...
what a frightening situation...when you're young you think you can trust your employer and the money looks good not to mention you never think anything bad is going to happen to you"
"If I could ask God for anything, it wouldn't be material possessions... it would be for good health and longevity."

While 'dragging their feet' maybe Exxon is going to all the plaintiffs and paying them $26,000 to drop out of the suit? ... bargain for Exxon ...
