i appreciate fixed false inflammatory claims n-hexane, update has several problems:

• did ngo notify iphone petition signers "neurotoxin" claim false , ask signers if wanted remove petition?
• the updated petition claims isopropanol -- rubbing alcohol -- toxin. really? these folk claiming liquid that's in millions of medicine cabinets not safe? have looked @ ingredient list purell hand sanitizer? have chemists on staff? if not, source of claim?
• the original petition asked safe alternative "neurotoxin". far can tell, 1 has been found , in use, that's not enough organization. chemical happy with?

sumofus claims ethical watchdog, don't seem acting in ethical fashion. original petition had false claims, , not holding account. watching watchmen?

 

i going point out yes t isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) toxic long term exposer.

using 99.9% (pure isopropanol) , can tell working clean electronics in short uses can leave light headed after short while. fums powerful. plus if have prolong skin contact it dry skin , feels weird. great cleaning stuff have side effects.

rubbing alcohol buy drug store @ 90% , time 70%. makes rather large difference. delute glasses lens cleaner solution , works great there not spraying 99.9% on glass. more 70%. other 30% being distilled water.
