Say workers of the Bioremediation Experiment * of the 

Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup . . . 

"The human toll alone is not worth it?" Dr. John Middaugh, Alaska State Dept of Epidemiology

"One did not spray Inipol for any period of time without becoming saturated in it.  

As you probably are aware, the protection gear was inadequate and the sprayers leaked.  

I personally have been on disability since mid 1990's 

due to a variety of mostly not understood illnesses."  11-7-02

"We were told that only men could be selected for the bioremediation work.  

Women couldn't carry the backpacks easily over the rocks."  11-18-02

"As it turned out we only used the back packs 5 days... it didn't work;

 the threads (stitching) disintegrated... in our rain suits, too.  

So our teams tried airless spray guns & that did seem to work. 

 Only thing, in no time, the 3M issued paper masks were saturated with the chemicals 

& did no good in filtering out the chemicals we weren't supposed to breathe." 

"I was responsible for 60 workers...

soon our goggles were coated with chemicals

the wind would shift & we would be covered with spray...

This type of mist got all over us."  11-18-02

When I think of the Captain... I think of the movie The Perfect Storm.  It is playing on TV:  choice of Jan 11, 12, 22 & 25 TNT 

He got caught up in something that will take his life... in his mid 40's... & it shouldn't!  

Says he, "I am terminal (6 months to live) with recurring stomach cancer, I also have documented clinical depression to the point of being severely disabled by the Court and Social Security Admin.  Yes, low red blood cell count; melanoma; bone problems.  I was about 32 years old and captain of a boat...working with distributing the Inipol EAP 22  chemicals to the beach workers in 1990."

"Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man."  Mark 1:41

Check out this Mark's story * Not one of the Inipol or Oil Spill cleanup workers... but HOPE for them.

To whom it may concern:

The list of ingredients of inipol EAP 22 is emphasized over and over again. on this website:  www.valdezlink.com/inipol   .. when EPA wouldn't tell the ingredients unless someone were using the Freedom of Information Office,

...thought it would be helpful to tell everyone what the ingredients were.

Inipol EAP 22 is a surfactant, it turns out, only technically a 'fertilizer'

 ... and the damage it did to the workers, was unthinkable!

But the workers are the only findable FACTS.

... hoping to help workers;

past 

& 

future!
