WARNING
Eye and skin irritant. Repeated or excessive exposure to butoxyethanol may cause injury to red blood cells, (hemolysis), kidney or the liver. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. Wear suitable protective clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Flush affected area with water. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition -No smoking.
May evolve oxides of carbon (COx) under fire conditions.PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
Eye, SkinSKIN CONTACT:
Can cause moderate irritation. Harmful if absorbed through skin.INGESTION:
May be harmful if swallowed. May cause liver and kidney effects and/or damage. There may be irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract.INHALATION:
Harmful by inhalation. Repeated or prolonged exposure may irritate the respiratory tract.SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
Acute:
Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects, nausea, vomiting, anesthetic or narcotic effects.
Chronic:
Repeated or excessive exposure to butoxyethanol may cause injury to red blood cells (hemolysis), kidney or the liver.AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis condition.HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS -CHRONIC:
Contains ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (butoxyethanol). Prolonged and/or repeated exposure through inhalation or extensive skin contact with EGBE may result in damage to the blood and kidneys.The Unified Command reported that as of May 6, 2010 Modular Aerial Spray System (MASS) aircraft have flown numerous dispersant missions-dispensing the same dispersant chemical being used by BP and the federal responders. These systems are capable of covering up to 250 acres per flight.The Unified Command also reported that, as of May 6, 2010, 253,000 gallons of dispersant have been deployed and more than 317,000 gallons are available

This video is from May. I saw this back then. Is this really news when it's this old?

It is news, in that people have been reporting that there are still air craft and Voos in the Gulf spraying dispersants. I know when I saw this video, what caught my eye, was the paperwork being used by the pilot and co-pilot. Notice that it says how much Disepersant they took on, and how much they sprayed. That piece of paper has been filed somewhere, and more than likely every Air Force, Navy, or Coast Guard Vessel has similar forms for each time they deployed Dispersant. That will mean that there will also be records of routes taken, and where they should have been spraying. Now some people report that military air craft have been spraying Dispersant over residential areas or right over shore lines, especially at night. Knowing what form to ask for is important for the impending court cases against the Unified Command over this matter.
Or did you think that they didn’t want people with cameras in the Gulf areas, because the cameras might scare the dying wildlife?
