What was used to cleanup beaches of Prestige oil spill, 2002?

Was trying to post this comment, but couldn't remember my google account

Reading through this article I am reminded of an e-mail I received. I was asked about health of workers who had cleaned up an oil spill in 2002 and were having serious health concerns ... such as the beach workers of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup. So now I am wondering ... was it the cleanup of the Prestige oil spill? And in that clean up did they also use a product that contained 2-butoxyethanol? If so, they should be noticing health signs such as that of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or 'gulf war syndrome' Many housewives are also at risk because this is a component in many home cleaning products and NOT disclosed. March 24, 2009 is the 20 year 'anniversary' of the EVOS and I'm afraid we have not learned anything about the health of the workers. http://www.valdezlink.com/evos/20year.htm
