Non-hodgkins lymphoma - much more in last 50 years

Quote:   National Cancer Institute researchers have shown that rates of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have more than doubled in the general population since the last half of the past century. Why? These changes surely have nothing to do with sudden shifts in inherited genetic defects found by 'pappy ronnie' who came down with a new 'variety' of it: MCL

Why does this not surprise me? I suspect, of course, a chemical poisoning of 2-butoxyethanol ... since before WWII. Many products have had the EPA pesticide number on cleaning compounds, etc. However, now, I think they may not, because 2-butoxyethanol has been removed from the 'harmful chemical list?'

What you don't know ... could hurt you.

And I would suspect it &/or ethylene oxide (both in rocket propellants) for the a-typical pneumonia our troops are dying of in Iraq ... and in the first gulf war too

If I had any say in the matter, I would hope the govt would rescind all orders for Corexit (38% 2-butoxyethanol) and dispose of it as the hazardous waste that it is. Not OK it to use as an oil spill dispersant ... & ask the Seabees to move it from here to there ... and put it in the arms room for soldiers to unsuspectedly come into contact with its vapors (doesn't stay in the metal 55 gallon barrels, you know)
