BP says over 15% of oil cleanup workers show high levels of COREXIT dispersant toxin; Figure likely much higher

Next week, BP will start charging workers found to be harboring 2-butoxyethanol in their bodies.

"This substance is a patented property of BP," A BP spokesperson will claim. "Employees who insist on keeping it in their bodies will be charged."

This warrants a pin. People need to know just how dangerous and serious this is.

New BP Data Show 20% of Gulf Spill Responders Exposed to Chemical That Sickened Valdez Workers, New York Times, July 9, 2010:

In an under-the-radar release of new test results for its Gulf of Mexico oil spill workers, BP PLC is reporting potentially hazardous exposures… among more than 20 percent of offshore responders.

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.

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.

And to top it off, use the coming crisis as a catalyst to pass cap and trade(written by the big end of town), with the ironic twist of the ends of the first world way of life being justified by the means to save the planet from co2 suffocation, it is believed so strong(less then 1 % of the atmosphere)that man made global warming will be able to warm the entire globe's weather and so raise the level of the tainted oceans for decades to come.

This is a sick joke that did make me laugh because it is the
absolute truth......

just look at Monsanto....their seeds blow in the wind and INFECT neighboring farms and they take people to court and sue them for theft.

This is an insane sick world we live in now.....twisted and evil.

Those in control are ripe with obsession of their own righteousness and possession by the hounds of hell.

What chance do we have of survival?

We might as well go out laughing at THEM

but ultimately as the game plan indicates we are "being taken out".
