...Lost amidst all the uproar is the fact that the Blommer family, which still owns and operates the factory, agreed with the EPA that its factory "opacity," or the amount of light blocked by emissions, was too high. They turned on a newly installed filter system in January, although they have yet to receive a final OK from the EPA. Rick Blommer has tried to stay out of the fray. "I'm just going to make chocolate," he says. Skinner can only wish that everyone was as even-keeled about the controversy. As he puts it, "we do feel...
...19th century developed scrotum cancer with unusual frequency after sitting on their brushes to clean inside chimneys.In his biology of cancer course, Marshall says he learned that benzopyrene, like all compounds produced from burning organic materials, is hydrophobic.He says these facts inspired him to design a better cigarette filter, which he called ROMAR. The tip of the filter is hydrophobic, so it filters benzopyrene far more effectively than a standard filter, he says as he shows data from his preliminary tests on the device.None of Marshall’s inventions has been produced commercially, although he says he believes that...
...different groups of activists in rural communities have accused Coke of depleting groundwater in drought regions and polluting soil and groundwater in these areas, as well as distributing heavy-metal laced bio-solids to farmers in the area. Also, they claimed that Coke did not install adequate systems to filter pesticides out of the groundwater used to manufacture Coca-Cola products.In response to these allegations, the University of Michigan Dispute Review Board (DRB), which enforces Michigan’s Vendor Compliance Code on its contractors, asked Coke in June, 2005 to appoint independent auditors to determine the truth...
...experts have some reservations about the effects of global warming on weakening North Atlantic Ocean currents. I am surprised that they have not taken into account the speed of global deforestation. Warmer oceans absorb less atmospheric carbon dioxide, so we depend increasingly on the world's remaining vegetation to filter the air for us. Because vegetation is the only means by which carbon dioxide is converted into life-giving oxygen, we need to start seriously thinking more about controlling deforestation. We should establish a massive international reforestation program to reverse global warming. Ian Vincent Nairobi...
