What is an accurate epidemiology study of health in Valdez for the 17 years before 1989 and from then to the present?

Benzene has been there all that time, but the thing that changed was 2-butoxyethanol was drug through the town en route to the bioremediation of beach oil & Corexit trials (12% and 38% strong in 2-butoxyethanol respectively)

Plus workers exposed to 2-butoxyethanol came into town & breathed out the fumes into the eyes of our people. Second hand solvent exposure. Our chiropractor and tax workers & spouses of workers ... also harmed.

Our people retire & die elsewhere ... or they are part of the statistics of Anchorage or Seattle or Fairbanks where they have ended dying

Valdez has many old-timers that know more background.

We need to gather the death certificates,

and give family the CFIDS symptom check list

I suspect this is the chemical of harm to the Gulf War Vet & have some web pages shared on this discussion forum

(I have another with 250 web pages also)

I recognize the pattern of 2-butoxyethanol over-exposure

Not unlike John Aaron did at NASA once

ESR abnormal?  Consider 2-butoxyethanol (LUPUS)
