...them up for silage." In her recent book on the subject, Power Over People (Oxford University Press; $7.50), Physicist Louise B. Young gives one possible reason: the discharge of high voltages into the air can produce ozone, a form of oxygen with three (rather than two) atoms in its molecular makeup, and oxides of nitrogen. Ozone can oxidize or "burn" healthy tissue, and nitrogen oxides form nitrous acid and one of the major components of smog. All of these might well affect people and plants that live near the lines...

...ingredient in the process is not chlorine, which purifies most of the U.S. water supply, but a gas called ozone -a form of oxygen with three (rather than the more common two) atoms in its molecular structure. Ozone is formed when ordinary gaseous oxygen is exposed to electrical discharges or ultraviolet radiation; it has a characteristic acrid odor noticeable after electrical storms and in the vicinity of ultraviolet lamps. In large concentrations, it is dangerous to breathe because it oxidizes, or burns, healthy tissue. Bubbled through water, it attacks and oxidizes polio and other harmful viruses, and completely eliminates foul...
...Soviet Chemist Boris Deryagin's report in 1962, polywater was a totally different form of water -a thick, sticky substance that had a boiling point of about 1,000° F., and a freezing point of -40° F. Moreover, it closely resembled plastics or other polymers in molecular structure in that its molecules of hydrogen and oxygen atoms were linked together to form long chains. Scientists round the world were fascinated. But no one else was able to produce more than a few drops of the miraculous water and skepticism began to grow. Now even Deryagin has washed...
