I wanted to know ... so I asked them,

Quote:   To EPA Someone from Australia e-mailed me that EPA had 'delisted' 2-butoxyethanol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, etc EGBE family of chemicals Is that true? That you used to have restrictions on how much 2-butoxyethanol released into the air, but not now? Did that happen a year ago when the chemical companies lobbied for such, saying it doesn't bioaccumulate & therefore, not harmful? If so, would that mean you used to require the pesticide EPA registration on the back of Lysol tub 'n Tile for instance, but not now? I would appreciate knowing the correct status? Is this correct information? EPA has delisted_2-Butoxyethanol as a chemical of Concern? Personally, I think Stan Stephens of Valdez should be more concerned about EGBE than benzene. Prostate cancer such as testicular seminoma is more probably a result of EGBE exposure than benzene ... and then the brain tumors, the diabetes ... effects it's been causing since before WWII Screaming about DDT?  Why not EGBE?

My Reply:   This is sad news I suspect that this chemical is the cause of Pres FDR's death ... the cause of 'gulf war syndrome' and the real harm to the Vietnam vet ... more than dioxin (which is not a match for the list of ailments they came down with) http://home.gci.net/~blessing/pages/vietnam.htm http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/our...health.htm#does http://www.valdezlink.com/same.htm http://home.gci.net/~blessing/pages/gwvposts.htm The civilian population would call it CFS or more correctly, Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, even FM if you group different sub groups together. www.valdezlink.com/cfid_share.htm Soldiers are still dying from it today, http://home.gci.net/~blessing/pages/soldiersdie.htm Doctors don't know what the FATIGUE is in this. They would find it if they tested for autoimmune hemolytic anemia & looked for immature red blood cells and the 'retic' rate and for blood in urine http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/thebasics.htm Some extra things in the blood http://www.valdezlink.com/check_blood.htm#retic This is the diabetes causing chemical, the 'autoimmune' causing chemical and most of the 'syndromes' that are out there. Many, many birth defects and cancers. Who needs to worry about a foreign invader when we poison our own? You think I'm overstating? No this is an understatement for the harm of this chemical Margaret Diann Valdez, Alaska 99686 I'd like to know whether Hillary & her staff ran into this chemical this year? http://home.gci.net/~blessing/pages/hillary.htm and Senator Specter ... and Chief Justice Wm Rehnquist and former Attorney General John Ashcroft ... and President George Bush's little sister who died of leukemia before she was 3 years old On 6/30/05 Looks like it and that was a few years ago US EPA Office of Emergency Management Regulatory and Policy Division MC 5104A Washington D.C. 20460 202-564-1970 Think, its Patriotic!
