You got that list right from NALCO. ADMIT IT and stop ignoring and lying!
on their website Nalco takes great pains to make the toxic shit stuff sound as innocuous as possible:
Corexit contains six primary ingredients. Examples of everyday products with specific ingredients in common with COREXIT 9500 include:
• One ingredient is used as a wetting agent in dry gelatin, beverage mixtures, and fruit juice drinks.
• A second ingredient is used in a brand-name dry skin cream and also in a body shampoo.
• A third ingredient is found in a popular brand of baby bath liquid.
• A fourth ingredient is found extensively in cosmetics and is also used as a surface-active agent and emulsifier for agents used in food contact.
• A fifth ingredient is used by a major supplier of brand name household cleaning products for “soap scum” removal.
• A sixth ingredient is used in hand creams and lotions, odorless paints and stain blockers.
I certainly trust them before the liberal tree huggers/environmentalist at the federal government's EPA!
“• A fifth ingredient is used by a major supplier of brand name household cleaning products for “soap scum” removal.”
They could go ahead a say this as an adjunct to THE NAME of the ingredient. That might just be a bit more balanced. Giving the name of one ingredient wouldn’t give away their patented formula, besides it’s patented. I would guess that this ingredient is one that causes a few warnings on the container for the soap scum remover.
Toxicity aside, the use of this product makes the oil more difficult to see and recover by ships from the ocean surface. I wish they hadn’t used it and had instead allowed as many skimmers as would come to the scene.
