Corexit 9527  * as shown on a July, 2000 or later list- almost no info given  CAS: 60617-06-3

                                              * 6-14-92 only ingredient given is 2-butoxyethanol *

                       Note Corexit 9580 comments from 8-1-89:  www.valdezlink.com/inipol/corexit.htm  

Ethylene Oxide is the only ingredient given

* Though not used other than experimentally during Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup, *

did it still have 2-butoxyethanol in it, too?

                       Corexit 9554    1993 version   *

 

Can you believe this?  Exxon has switched to the most dangerous ingredient of Inipol EAP 22 & don't seem to be giving full information on it.  Surely Exxon knows ingredients are not allowed to be proprietary after 1997 court ruling regarding such for pesticides!  *

So, the plan is to dump poison into our Alaska waters...hoping Exxon can come up with a money maker? What about the people?  What about the marine life!  *

 

*Alyeska is still using Corexit; 

however, they are not able to utilize it like they want to for lack of the necessary permits.  Thus a proposed plan to test Corexit in Alaska's ocean... over the objection of RCAC... that appropriate lab testing has not been done appropriately.
