Many who Had Little Contact with Inipol EAP 22 could be at Risk for Health Damage *

- very potent with 2-butoxyethanol - Toxic - 10-12% by weight

 

 

Must store in a well-ventilated area

 Only use chemical retardant clothing, shoes, gloves 

if any attempt to move barrels of chemicals is made  PEE Level IV *


 
 

Are any barrels of Inipol EAP 22 from the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup days stored in Valdez?  If so hoping they have them roped off... so no one rubs up against them & gets 'melted' skin like an electrician did once.  And labeled with skull and cross-bones for poison.  Even to move a barrel, workers need chemical retardant suits & respirators. Be sure to mark any spills with caution/warning signs should any occur. 

 

How well-ventilated is a storage unit or building?  Some longshoremen during their moving of the inipol barrels only got a 'whiff' of the chemicals, but on a recurring basis that could be enough to get the 2-butoxyethanol in one's system. 

 

We are talking about an extremely potent mixture of chemicals ... with a poison of not just 1% as pesticides often have, but 12% by weight of 2-butoxyethanol ... which causes blood damage (hemolysis) per animal test data - (source: Inipol EAP 22 MSDS).

 

You have a 'tired-all-the-time' feeling that neither rest nor vitamins ever remedy: hemolytic anemia... the body's premature destruction of its own red blood cells. This low red blood cell count is the tell tale sign that health damage has occurred

... no matter what develops later, this is an early signal. You won't have enough red blood cells taking oxygen to your cells. 

 

Who were the truckers in August 1989 and the 1990 work season?  Did they ever have to handle barrels of Inipol EAP 22?  

Or smell the fumes of 2-butoxythanol?

 

Then the question, how to properly dispose of inipol EAP 22

MSDS specifically warns against putting it down the sewers or in any waterways.

 There is little understanding of how toxic Inipol EAP 22 is

 2-butoxyethanol was 10 times stronger than the poisons in a pesticide generally are

Workers... Do you have any of these symptoms... in general?  *

Workers ... Do you have any of these... 2-butoxyethanol? *

Workers, check you blood counts! *  This is key to knowing your current health status!
