What Congress Needs to Know:
Glycol Ethers cause FLU and Climate Warming
This is not being factored in to climate change & rapid melting of sea ice.
Since 2003 there are no limits by EPA to restrict the amount that can be put into the air
This is also the family of chemicals that 2-butoxyethanol belongs to
Please consider this family of chemicals for primary harm to the Vietnam Vet - Primary harm to the gulf war vet totally at least 700,000 soldiers or about 25% of the Troops.
This chemical has been harming unabated
& is more probably the cause of various FLU
outbreaks - Not a virus of this type or that

What I wish Congress
knew
If we vote in universal health care (socialized
medicine * )
it will for sure mean economic collapse
Besides, there is too much emphasis on medications
We are going in the wrong direction, anyway
Do you know what is in the medications you take? *
The chemical exposure that causes most of the Vets health issues, especially during war eras is Glycol Ether, of which 2-butoxyethanol is the most frequently used.
... and exposure to this chemical both in and out of the military has got to STOP
It is the real cause of 'the flu' NOT a virus
It is this chemical, not AO that was the primary harm to the Vietnam Vet

And if doctors could only find the fatigue/anemia it causes: AIHA or IMHA
such as those with CFIDS, CFS, FM have,
you would surely be adding exposure to this chemical family among the most probable cause of VETS' harm
and on the list of presumptive disability approvals
We need disclosure of what chemicals are in our home cleaning products, too
What do you clean with?
Clean shower does contain harmful component

& my link insertion:
According to U.S. patent 5,910,474, the principal ingredients of Clean Shower are a nonionic surfactant, a chelating agent, and an alcohol. A preferred formulation described in the patent specifies the following composition, in percent by volume: isopropyl alcohol, 4.4; Antarox BL-225 (a mixed ethylene glycol ether * * nonionic surfactant), 1.5; Hamp-ene diammonium EDTA (a chelating agent that is a 44% aqueous solution of diammonium ethylenediamine tetraacetate), 1.5; and fragrance, 0.002. The balance is made up with water. The composition is supposed to prevent the buildup of deposits and provide a pleasant sheen on shower surfaces without the need for rinsing, wiping, or scrubbing
real harm to Vietnam Vets, etc

I was fooled:

When I used this product last March,
the joint on my little finger keeps 'catching'
I tried to get the ingredients, but the company never disclosed any
even when I waited for their written MSDS
The warnings of 2-butoxyethanol are there, though,
It is this chemical that is responsible for the flu
and the 36,000 annual USA deaths
AND the harm of many housewives, soldiers & children
second hand solvent exposure should be suspect for
death of Danny Gans

Swine Flu tip:
DON'T DO THIS
Maybe there is another cause of flu?

What I Suspect for the Cause of Autism

I'm hoping people from all over the
country will ask their Senators/ US Rep
about checking into the harm of glycol ethers
For cause of flu / for health issues / for contributing to global
warming
.... & that we might have laws to require product developers to disclose
all ingredients to housewives, too

It was after his show on Wed that he had severe fatigue and was going to bed a lot thereafter. He also had shortness of breath prior to his death per a couple of news reports.
