Plan for Updating Article: For the 2-butoxyethanol page, we would like to begin by expanding on production and uses. In particular, we would like to include more information on the involvement on 2-butoxyethanol in fracking. We would like to clarify the conflicting reports on the carcinogenic properties of 2-butoxyethanol, in addition to supplying more general health information. We would like to expand on the effects that it has on humans and other animals. The environment effects section is currently minimal, so we would like to expand on how it moves through the environment. In particular, its solubility in water, air, and soil and how that affects where it exists. Comparison of different measurements of 2-butoxyethanol in the environment will also be included. Our plan is to keep the general format and content of the article, and to simply expand upon relevant information.
