Are there any health concerns for the workers who sprayed the chemical used in the EVOS bioremediation

Says one bioremediation worker, "I literally wore inipol...

... One did not spray Inipol for any period of time without becoming saturated in it.

As you probably are aware, the protection gear was inadequate and the sprayers leaked. I personally have been on disability since mid 1990's due to a variety of mostly not understood illnesses." 11-7-02

Are there any health concerns for the workers who sprayed the chemical used in the EVOS bioremediation? for those who transported chemicals? for those who worked on boats, etc?

... It may depend on where & when and how long a worker worked, at what location, etc.

Were some jobs more 'risky' than others?

There were some people that didn't even work on the oil spill, but came across the barrels of chemicals stored in their workplace warehouse... & got some leaking chemical on them... or found 'gooey' stuff all over other things... they had no idea what they were being exposed to or what it meant.
