2-Butoxy Ethanol is unquestionably Health Hazardous  *

Chemical formula ....

2-butoxyethanol  C6H14O2/CH3(CH2)2CH2OCH2CH2OH 

This chemical is a commonly used glycol ether PLUS it has BUTYL in it

 
Be proactive against the harm of glycol ethers  Continued

Be proactive against the harm of glycol ethers
I suspect even the "GO GREEN" products have glycol ether


Cities and Companies should do an education program of some type for any janitors for the city & all places of employment

whether direct employees or companies sub contracted to

How to check whether or not the MSDS for the products they use contain glycol ether

IF so (Most of the time it IS so) 
what protective gear to wear
PPE: air tight goggles / chemical impervious gloves
use only in well ventilated area /
and be sure the wind doesn't blow it back on you
Ventilate schools / your work area BEFORE kids or workers arrive

Be aware of the harm of glycol ethers  

which home cleaning products damage our health? ... pets, too

No hazard warnings in home cleaning products - pdf
http://www.enviro-solution.com/pdf/Hazard%20warning%20on%20home%20cleaners.pdf  
This is worth reading & making a copy for closer review

Why this is in the 'use of premises' for those I rent to:

"Do not spray hazardous products inside, such as silicone spray or any other spray products (propellants can be health hazardous). In particular, do not use products that have an EPA registration number (Fantastik, Lysol Tub'n Tile) as it usually means there is a pesticide component such as BUTYL which causes autoimmune issues and cancers. Vapors in eyes is an exposure.  *

How much glycol ether in Pine Sol? <5%
So I would classify it in the same category as Simple Green  *
which has <6% glycol ether: 2-butoxyethanol

Apparently glycol ether regulated under Sec 304 / CERCLA

Consider exposure to a glycol ether for cause of 'the flu'  *

a harm to our VETS & civilians, too

The 8 signs of hemolytic anemia per a medical dictionary

Swine Flu Symptoms

(per Dr Sanjay Gupta in Mexico 4-27-09)

  • Sudden onset Dizziness,
  • Diarrhea * *   
  • Nausea/Vomiting
  • High Fever * *  a fever - After 'the sniffles?' *
  • Fatigue ... I suspect it is AIHA or IMHA (clue: blood in urine)  
  • Body Aches
  • Shortness of Breath
  • a cough  *  (said a victim & a doctor & the CDC)
  • Should Say:  Very High white blood cell counts - an anemia sign  *  *
  • and Pale?  or Jaundiced?  jaundice
  • Dark Urine? (blood in urine) *
  • Rapid Heartbeat?   *   *
  • 'the chills?'    (chills?)  Cold to the Core 
  • VERY HIGH WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS  *  * Not an infection ... an anemia sign  ...  AND
Look for the fatigue pattern of AIHA
& for the autoimmune CNS pattern

What are the symptoms of hemolytic anemia?

COOMB's Test?  Skip it

VERY HIGH WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS  *  *

Not an infection ... an anemia sign  ...  AND
eventually:  Central Nervous System  Effects: 

  • Difficulty Concentrating 

  • Short Term Memory Loss  Memory Loss

  • Difficulty Sleeping

  • Constantly Irritable / Anger outbursts

  • Depression

  • Mimics true psychiatric disorder  Paranoia

  • Suicidal Tendencies

  • PTSD?

Headaches?  Are they pituitary headaches?

Hormone levels off?  Several?

Do you recall 'the sniffles?' *  . . . having hoarse voice?
Diarrhea or constant farting?

There is also something known as Second hand solvent exposure.  Examples: * 
Maybe someday a 'breathalyzer test'  will help keep our people 'health-safe' when they travel / or when they go to work
