SNIP 2-butoxyethanol was detected at levels up to 10 parts per million (ppm) in more than 20 percent of offshore responders and 15 percent of those near shore. The NIOSH standard for 2-butoxyethanol, which lacks the force of law but is considered more health-protective than the higher OSHA limit, is 5 ppm. Some public-health advocates pointed out that BP references the NIOSH ceiling of each chemical it tested for except 2-butoxyethanol, an ingredient in the Corexit 9527 dispersant… Natural Resources Defense Council Senior Scientist Gina Solomon described BP’s continued offshore 2-butoxyethanol detection during the month of June as “worrisome.” “It suggests to me that there is still, clearly, a serious air-quality concern. … [Gulf] air quality, if anything, seems to be deteriorating,” Solomon said. SNIP [link to www.floridaoilspilllaw.com] It is staggering that these assholes are being allowed to poison not only the entire ecology of the area, but also the human population. More than 20%? Try everyone and everything that is exposed to that crap..IT IS A POISON.

(though it sounds plausible) It should. It's the same tactics used by evil giant Monsanto against independent farmers that have crops with some of their "patented" seeds, since the wind took them and blew them onto their property since they refuse to buy Monsanto....Monsanto then took the farmers to court, some for many years, and ended up bankrupting most of the farmers. Monsanto/Halliburton/Dow....the giants of poisoning humans. |
