any size ...
from WWI to the present?
As you know, I suspect it is the OTHER chemical that is the cause of chronic fatigue and the 'odd assortment' of health issues from WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Korean, Gulfwars ... that is the real culprit
Which should be on the Presumptive Disability Approval list for ALL military
Not what is being blamed ... Dioxin, AO or whatever
I'm concerned about ALL of these symptoms/diagnosis
Whether coming over as a bomb .. from tanks ... from any size gun; cannon on ships, etc.
2-butoxyethanol IS used in propulsion (has lots of names)
But it's harm is unrecognized and for decades has been so
I think this is ONE reason there was more exposure to 2-butoxyethanol type chemicals of first gulf war
You could stop 'the syndromes' if you would require air tight goggles as protective equipment for all military ... when cleaning guns/ when around jet fuel/ when painting/ and most especially when blowing up munitions that are found here 'n there
Military should note carefully when soldiers get 'flu-like' symptoms with the CFIDS pattern following ... and most especially when diarrhea comes on. These are strong clues to 2-butoxyethanol poisoning. This chemical is a pesticide, a poison, a solvent, a teratogen, a neurotoxin, a diabetes-causing and autoimmune-causing chemical. (Suspect for 'bird flu' also)
Is this Propellant discussed here? http://www.iom.edu/CMS/4683/24236.aspx
Best help? Glyconutrient food supplements
Are they discussed here? http://www.iom.edu/CMS/4683/24236.aspx

The 1991 Persian Gulf War was considered a brief and successful military operation with few injuries and deaths. A large number of returning veterans, however, soon began reporting health problems that they believed to be associated with their service in the gulf. Under a Congressional mandate, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) is reviewing a wide array of biologic, chemical, and physical agents to determine if exposure to these agents may be responsible for the veterans' health problems. This report, Gulf War and Health, Volume 3: Fuels, Combustion Products, and Propellants, examines the health effects of hydrazines, red fuming nitric acid, hydrogen sulfide, oil-fire byproducts, diesel-heater fumes, and fuels (for example, jet fuel and gasoline).
Previous reports in the IOM Gulf War and Health series include Gulf War and Health, Volume 1: Depleted Uranium, Pyridostigmine Bromide, Sarin, and Vaccines, Gulf War and Health, Volume 2: Insecticides and Solvents, and Gulf War and Health: Updated Literature Review of Sarin.
