TIME-LINE

The French speak of inipol as being in existence in 1982

EPA only lists it as of 1985

When EPA gives approval for an experiment 7-26-89...  *

Exxon secures the contract on Inipol... revamps the formula...

and by 7-28-89 has created Inipol EAP 22  (Is it the 2-butoxyethanol they add?  Stronger than needed?)

The MSDS Exxon puts out shows clearly that EXXON owns Inipol EAP 22 and that there is no supercede date...

"INIPOL EAP 22" REVISED LISTING DATE: JANUARY 11, 1996  ?   http://www.epa.gov/oilspill/ncp/inipolea.htm

Most likely the date that  trilaureth4-phosphate   [C₁₂H₂₅(OC₂H₄)₃O]₃PO  was traded out for mono and duo forms of phosphate  *

Some chemists indicate the complex trilaureth4-phospahte component of Inipol EAP 22 could have caused unique health problems all on its own.... especially since the product was supposed to be heated prior to application...and workers in the field from those days indicate that "Inipol EAP 22 was the consistency of honey... and was not diluted prior to application.  The Inipol had to be kept heated and was stored in 1000 and 5000 gallon tanks on the decks of landing crafts."  (If you see workers pouring a liquid into the pesticide type equipment for application... it was most likely union workers of VECO... NORCON applying Corexit from their back packs.  Guys dressed in white with black boots, were they the military monitors?  When DEC workers come around, usually they have red chemical retardant suits... not yellow rain suits which would be the inadequate gear (Class B) that the workers had for applying Inipol EAP 22 and experimental Corexit...also an Exxon owned product & with a stronger concentration of 2-butoxyethanol... plus ethylene oxide ... a 'deminimus' carcinogen.

It is also interesting to note that experts commenting on Inipol EAP 22 & who knew of the trilarueth4-phosphate didn't know that there was 2-butoxyethanol in the product.  Very strange indeed.  

Some experts only commented on the results of Inipol EAP 22, but did not run the experiments themselves.  How do they know that 2-butoxyethanol ... all the real ingredients were used in the experiment?

Consider Inipol EAP 22 much like Spray 'n Wash which is also 10% surfactant... which they are not brave enough to name.  (By law, the consumer doesn't have to be told of dangerous ingredients in ordinary household cleaning products.)

Although Inipol EAP 22 purports to be a bioremediation agent... it was only 'technically' a microb 'fertilizer' 

Experts once seeing the ingredients and the ratios of such, say that Inipol EAP 22 is actually a surfactant.

You can tell by the news interview with Alex Viteri (Head of DEC Research and Development) on August 3, 1989 that he thinks they are putting a tried and true Inipol on the beaches.  He seems to have no idea that he is speaking of a product that came into existence 6 days earlier.

Truly... to say than Inipol EAP 22 is an emulsion of nitrogen and phosphorus (when it has so little in comparison to the refined oil they are putting back in) is misleading...  C:N:P  ratio is   62:5:1  per one study ... with the comment of the extreme toxicity of the product. *

Inipol EAP 22 was truly an experiment during the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup! 

It was being field tested and lab tested simultaneously! *

What's in Inipol EAP 22 *
