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.

 

I know a homemaker who was very diligent about cleaning throughout her life.  At retirement age she came down with low red blood cell anemia and kidney problems, and high blood pressure and high blood sugar and agravated arthritis;  Do you also have the CNS, personality changes, etc.?  That is part of the package of 2-butoxyethanol poisoning.  What was her favorite cleaning product?  Lysol Tub 'n Tile

Those who clean are at risk - Exposure is cumulative 

Moms should use goggles & gloves -this contains a complex type of 2-butoxyethanol

409 Cleaner contains 2-butoxyethanol AND ethylene oxide - It is most like Corexit, the Exxon dispersant

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. Sadly, just learned that the Equipment Dept of Alyeska uses it by the 'bucketful' NOT other depts, thankfully. 11-1-03
