FAIR USE NOTICE

Any high level of carbons/hydrogens would probably be a concern (even in small amounts) especially when products spray it & you are having a reaction to it. Others could probably use it without this reaction, but those who have had too much of any type of chemicals, would be more sensitive if there was something harmful there.

Notice, however, how high a concentration of this #64-17-5 is! Dawn is a less harmful than EGBE, but if you get a lot of exposure ... then it can be more harmful to you.

C₂H₆O

CAS No. 64-17-5

Well, how about that?

We would probably find something interesting if we looked and the chemical formula ... as this is a blend: Handbook for Handling, Storing, and Dispensing E85. Office of ...

2 pages - pdf C₂H₆O / CH₃CH₂OH ... so bad ...

but not as bad as 2-butoxyethanol

These are the chemicals that are worse:

C₆H₁₄O₂/CH₃(CH₂)₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OH

CAS number 00111-76-2

This is the complex form of 2-butoxyethanol

(note the Carbons and Hydrogens):

C₈H₁₈O₃ / CH₂(CH₂)₃OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OHDGME

CAS number 00112-34-5

& these have lots of other names

Some things I've learned about 2-butoxyethanol

My friend, Helen , used to use Lysol Tub 'n Tile & I suspect it contributed to the CFS type symptoms and eventually her death

Dow calls 2-butoxyethanol by its trade name. I suspect misting it at work caused serious harm to Audrey's husband

If you have a choice of an older MSDS from 2002 & back it may give more complete info,as EPA has delisted it, and it may be there but not disclosed in MSDS info now.

Protect the eyes! & cuticle areas - Primary route of exposure for EGBE

	EPA & CA did a study Janitorial Products Pollution Prevention Project - Sponsored by US EPA, State of California, Santa Clara County, the City of Richmond, and the Local Government Commission. Written by Thomas Barron, Carol Berg, and Linda Bookman. 6/99. *6% of professional janitors are harmed each year from cleaning compounds.
	Those who clean are at risk - Exposure is cumulative Moms should use goggles & gloves -this contains a complex type of 2-butoxyethanol
EYES: IRRITATION. SKIN: ABSORBED. EXPOSURE TO ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOBUTYL ETHER WILL CAUSE BLOOD & BONE MARROW DAMAGE. Carcinogenicity - NTP: YES Carcinogenicity - IARC: YES OSHA: NO	Learn that Corexit is most like 409 Cleaner which was Banned by BP at North Slope site.

Instead of running for the pharmacy ... ask yourself, what is going on differently than before? What am I doing? Who has come into the house or workplace just then?

US Rep, Bart Stupak lost his teenage son to suicide which appeared to be from taking Accutane (an acne medication) Warnings look very much like that of 2-butoxyethanol. I noticed that Accutane has a butylated inert ingredient.

I also suspect reproductive harm to men and women even years after taking this medication.
