OSHA describes 2-butoxyethanol's odor as a "mild, pleasant, sweet, fruity". Corexit 9527, the MOST TOXIC and DANGEROUS oil dispersant compound contains 2-butoxyethanol.
Natural gas is scented with a nasty smell so you can tell when there is a leak. This warns people NOT to breathe it. HOWEVER, the chemical dispersant (Corexit) is scented with a sweet smell, which isn't perceived as a dangerous smell. This sweet aroma causes more people to willingly breathe it on shore.

IS COREXIT BEING USED AS A BIOWEAPON?
http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/news/corexit-masked-bioweapon-shrimpers-...
Corexit (neurotoxin pesticide) has earned the highest EPA warning label for toxicity EVER. Not only are they spraying the gulf everyday, but over the general public around beaches, bays, and swamps areas.
2-butoxyethanol (CAS 111-76-2) does the following:
Irritating to eyes, skin, nose, throat; Cough, nausea, drowsiness, headache, redness of eyes, eye pain, blurred vision, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, CNS depression, hemolysis, hemoglobinuria.Targets eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, hematopoietic system, blood, kidneys, liver, lymphoid system.
SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: Irritates the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Can depress the central nervous system and cause liver and kidney damage.
LONG TERM EXPOSURE: Exposure may result in blood disorders. http://www.valdezlink.com/hemoglobinuria.htm

I think ALL the major BP shareholders and officers should be put in a swimming pool of COREXIT for ONE DAY.

@sirus10 corexit 9500 msds is not that bad and is less harmful than most household cleaners...or well....anything around your house....what im tripping on is which one ARE they using....b/c apparently according to other msds for i think 9527 is pretty bad however they also say they are barely airborne once in the environment...anything else you have i'd appreciate

@sirus10 I heard the first Corexit was the 9527 which was more lethal than the 9500 but in all reality they both kill. Someone speaking to the a Gov panel mentioned the use of this at first then they went to the 9500. But what difference now does it make now it is all bad.

How can we find out how many times the President has signed off on permits to use Corexit? & When was the first & last permit signed and what was the language used in those permits? I mean if he has recently singed off on a permit we need to do more than just wave our hands saying please enough. Does he not care & does he not understand it is wrong? Who the heck is he listening to? I'm serious I want an investigation. not that will reverse things but We have to know.

From other vids I have seen, it appears that after fisherman call in reports of oil slicks, rather than clean it up, dispersant is sprayed to sink it out of sight. The irony here is that seafood is being harvested from Gulf waters EVERY DAY. While at the grocer, a woman ahead of me said, "that Gulf shrimp looks good-I'll take a pound." WHAT? Sadly, there are tens of millions more just like her who assume that Gulf seafood is safe. Gulf residents will begin to sicken and die off. Corexit kills.

@TruthSolace Not really, have a hose going into the water and a paddle behind it to mix it in.
Seems like they don't care about the gulf anymore, just no more oil on beaches so they don't have to pay people it to clean it up.
Much cheaper to pay one guy to go up and down miles of beach line using a product which BP makes money from.
