This technology could also sniff out minuscule amounts of environmental toxins before they hit critical mass,

and the chemicals used in fire extinguishers can be toxic (halons, the most effective chemical fire suppressant, create holes in the ozone layer.

a plant modified to produce a bacterial toxin that discourages destructive bollworms and cuts down on the need for pesticides.

and produce no greenhouse-gas emissions or toxins. The goal is to design and develop efficient sustainable and practical human-powered vehicles.

The US Environmental protection agency (EPA) has agreed to set new rules governing emissions of mercury and other toxic chemicals from power plants by November 2011,


Nature 03484.txt

Mercury poisoning can cause vomiting and diarrhoea and, in more extreme cases, brain or kidney damage.

whereas others are willing to drink the toxic liquid metal to prove it is safe.

non-governmental organizations have distributed retorts that can capture the toxic vapour. Two years ago, Peruvian engineer Carlos Villachica unveiled the ECO-100v, a US$4, 500 machine that uses water and jets of air to separate gold from sediments.

which is targeting ecological problems such as invasive species, toxic hot spots, and pollution runoff. We are cleaning up the Chesapeake bay,


Nature 04218.txt

Early patents on gene-use restriction technologies later rebranded as terminator technology by activists opposed to them described a genetic modification that switched on production of a toxin that would kill off developing plant embryos.


Nature 04376.txt

Toxic letters A Mississippi man suspected of sending letters laced with the deadly toxin ricin to US President Barack Obama

which is 1, 000 times more toxic than cyanide. The toxin is most lethal when inhaled or injected;

there is no antidote, but symptoms can be treated. The suspect, Paul Kevin Curtis, of Corinth, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

so that it can produce Delta Endotoxin. Read below: University of Kentucky study on GMOS: Bt Delta Endotoxin-The Bt delta endotoxin was selected

because it is highly effective at controlling Lepidoptera larvae caterpillars. It is during the larval stage

The Bt endotoxin is considered safe for humans other mammals fish birds and the environment because of its selectivity.

The AMA and the FDA both approved toxins from thalidomide to fen phen Baycol Rezulin Bextra Vioxx Celebrex and innumerably many others into use.

The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat strain that SÃ Â ralini used is used also in long-term 2-year toxicity

A study was published recently examining adverse effects of Bacillus thuringensis (aka the Bt toxin) that Monsanto builds into their corn and soy.

and he's kind of an expert. http://wwwi-sis. org. uk/Bt-toxin. phpit is no coincidence that Monsanto has invested so much money in our politicians and against measures such as California's Prop 37.

and other blood-making organsã¢Â#Âll of which are signs of severe toxicity. 3. This past year Food Chemical Toxicology published the results of a two-year study conducted by scientists at the University of Caen

and are forcing farmers to dump even more varieties of toxic chemical herbicides and pesticides on our foods in order to stay ahead of nature s race.

While one study found that 0. 97 ppm of formaldehyde is toxic to mammals GMO corn was found to contain 200 times that amount. these comments...

According to the Food and Drug Administration liver toxicity is the most common reason for a drug to be pulled from clinical trials as well as from the marketplace after it's been approved.

but we're at such a point in our'advancement'that our diluted pollutants are reaching toxic levels. 1. Nuclear power plants emit dangerous radiation into the air and water during their DAILY operations.

Radioactive particles especially Plutonium Strontium and Cesium are bioaccumulative extremely persistent and highly toxic. They travel long distances

Every day about 100 containers of toxic e-waste arrive in Hong kong alone says Jim Puckett the activist with BAN.

They set fire to a fragment inhale the toxic fumes and toss it into the appropriate bin based on odor.

which were effective but left toxic residue for human consumption. However this can be substituted by an ozone system that ventilates the grains for 48 hours.

The advantages of silicon include the long-term stability sufficiency low cost and non-toxicity of the element as well as the advanced production technology.

Using in vitro studies they are completing key research to better understand how nanogumbos can be tuned to be selectively toxic to cancer cells and nontoxic to normal cells.

We have a material that is normally toxic to both cancer cells and normal cells Warner explained.

#Magnetic levitation tissues could speed toxicity testsin a development that could lead to faster and more effective toxicity tests for airborne chemicals scientists from Rice university and the Rice spinoff company Nano3d Biosciences have used magnetic levitation to grow some of the most realistic lung tissue ever produced in a laboratory.

The research is part of an international trend in biomedical engineering to create laboratory techniques for growing tissues that are virtually identical to those found in people's bodies.

Souza said bronchiole tissue could solve another problem that's frequently encountered in testing the toxicity of airborne agents.

which is what you'd prefer for toxicity testing he said. With our technology we can easily levitate the bronchiole tissue to the air-liquid interface

so that airborne toxins are exposed to the epithelial layer of the tissue just as it would occur in the lungs.

The last thing they need to be introducing into their system are extra toxins and parasites.

but you have to realize that with the BP-Transocean oil spill we just poisoned half the food chain down there in the Gulf of mexico.

but are also literally killing themselves from inhaling the toxic soot. These are things we should be doing right away to buy us some time to solve the harder problem of how to stop burning fossil fuels.
