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   *

 

Surely 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  *
