The Russian River Meets the Ozone Layer
Reducing total low dose toxic chemical effects, while saving money Back to Paradigms & Projects

in the storm cloud"?
The posted e-mail's concern pesticides. But there is also a concern
of the
pollution created around airports. and what migh manifest in such
a polluted storm cloud from lightning ?
Simple Hypothesis: The Total Toxic Effect of two chemicals can multiply
to be hundreds of times as toxic as either one, alone. Plus,
radiation can increase the Toxic Effect by ten to thirty times. By forming
"Pesticide Buyer's Co-ops", the growers (farmers) that use
them could reduce costs and reduce the Total Toxic Effect by using the
same pesticide. Most of which eventually mix into the rivers and streams.
The manufactures of the pesticides could also reduce their costs and
sell their pesticides for less money, while earning a greater profit.
This could be accomplishes by having the Pesticide Buyer's Co-op handle
the warehousing and transportation of the chemicals. Restructuring the
manner in which these chemicals are dispersed is also a matter of national
security, due to the potential for the abuse of these chemicals, by
terrorist's.
The following posted e-mail's, link's, and correspondence cite the research work that is also supportive of this hypothesis. Regardless of the wide spread use of pesticides is proven to be a factor in the production of the ozone depleting chemical SF5CF3. The obvious health benefits to the environment, coupled with the potential return on investment should make this a logical course of action.

FERTILIZER: HIDING A TOXIC POLLUTANT?

Excerpt:
Until now, waterborne perchlorate (ClO[sub 4]-) has been linked almost
exclusively to aerospace activities, since the compound is a major
ingredient in rocket fuels. An Environmental Protection Agency study now
reports evidence of a far more prosaic and potentially widespread
source: garden-variety fertilizers.

The strategy that I have developed to circumvent the "politics" involved is posted at -
Russian Roulette - American Style
Please do not under estimate the power that potential liability suits can have on this. The strategy that I have posted (above) might "turn the trick".
Research studies with these stated concepts in mind are needed. The pertinent information to this is posted through out the rest of this page. You will have to "connect the dots" for yourself, if interested.
This would appear to be a good project by which to study any variance in the health of the environment. In particular, the Russian River. Many of the grape growers in this county and Napa County could stand to save some money while trying to help the environment.

TO: The Resource Renewal Institute http://www.rri.org/home.html Pesticide manufactures can dramatically reduce their overhead, sell the pesticides for less, while realizing a greater profit. A "Pesticide Buyers Co-op" can also be used to "re- organize". Handle the transportation, warehousing of the chemicals. While encouraging growers to use the same chemicals. Many of which can become hundreds of times as toxic when combined, as any one alone. This would reducing the total toxic effect on the environment. Because of the "nature" of our political system, I believe it might be best to just present the money saving potential. Who is to blame? We are.

Brenninkmeijer" <carlb@mpch-mainz.mpg.de> To: theprogenitor@angelfire.com You have made some very valuable (sharp) observations. I believe the source of the SF5CF3 has been found, Bill Sturges reckons that it is the Scotch guard production. I am interested in measuring the large range transportation of pollutants (including pesticides, although their concentrations are very low which makes detection difficult) using an aircraft. If you would have the name and address of one of the best technical experts in the field of research on pesticide transport in your country, that would be useful. Otherwise, I lack the time to go into discussions, for which I apologize. Carl Brenninkmeijer At 17:17 26.02.01 -0800, you wrote: >Carl A.M.

Feb 17, 1996. v149(n2017). p4(1). Illustration: photograph. Abstract: Researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK claim that electromagnetic fields (EMF) can intensify the carcinogenic effects of radon gas. By measuring the concentration of radon decay products and EMF strength in homes located in regions with high background radiation, the researchers concluded that strong EMFs attract radon decay products and cause them to vibrate, thus making them more likely to adhere to human tissue.

Brenninkmeijer, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz/Germany >carlb@mpch-mainz.mpg.de >49-6131-305-453 >Max-Planck-Gesellschaft > >A new potent greenhouse gas of industrial origin has been discovered in the atmosphere > >Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, from the School of Environmental Science at University of East Anglia/ UK, Ford Motor Company/USA, University of Reading/UK, University of Frankfurt and British Antarctic Survey, Natural Environment Research Council in Cambridge/UK have detected a previously unreported compound in the atmosphere, trifluoromethyl sulphur pentaflouride (SF5CF3). The increase of this peculiar gas in the atmosphere is coupled with the increase of the very inert gas sulfur hexaflouride (SF6), suggesting a common source (Science, 28 July 2000). > >There is no doubt that the new gas SF5CF3 is made by industry, or is produced during certain process involving industrial gases, but its exact source remains a mystery. The scientists speculate that SF5CF3, which is closely chemically related to SF6, originates as a breakdown product of SF6 in high voltage equipment. SF6 is used in electrical switches to suppress sparks, in protecting metals during a melting process, in tennis balls, car tires and even at one stage in running shoes. Due to its good insulation properties it was also used as a noise barrier in double glazed window panes. However, SF6 is a strong greenhouse gas and the molecule is very resistant against attack in the atmosphere. The natural self-cleansing property of the atmosphere is insufficient to deal with such super molecules. Therefore, it has a long lifetime, and being a strong greenhouse gas, its production is now restricted under the Kyoto Protocol. > >The new molecule SF5CF3 is even a stronger greenhouse gas. Measurements of its infrared absorption cross-section revealed the largest radiative forcing, on a per molecule basis, of any gas found in the atmosphere to date (0.57 W/m2 ppb). Together with the fact that also this gas has a long lifetime - somewhere between several hundred and a few thousand years - there is good reason to know more about this gas, and to try to stop its increase in the atmosphere. > >How do we know the atmospheric increase of this gas? The Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz has participated in expeditions in Antarctica to extract air samples from the thick firn layers (snow). These layers can be up to 100 meter thick and contain old air, sometimes reaching to the beginning of the last century. This air has been extensively analyzed in our institute and in Norwich, England. The new gas was discovered at extremely low concentrations. At the surface the concentration is the same as in the air at the moment, and amounts to about 0.1 ppt (parts per trillion; one ppt is one part in 1012). At 100 meter depth in the snow its concentration was close to the detection level of 0.01 ppt. This shows the grown of the gas during the second half of the last century. Because the increase of the new gas is very much like that of SF6, we suspect a link between the two gases. > >This discovery once again shows that we have to be careful with our atmosphere, and that research is much needed indeed. Without even knowing it, we have been releasing a very potent greenhouse gas for almost 50 years. We have to find the source of this gas and to try to stop its increase. Even though the concentrations are very small, and its implication in climate change is for practical reasons no grave concern, this type of global pollution is unwanted, and most likely unnecessary. > > > > =============================================== === Dr. Carl Brenninkmeijer e-mail: carlb@mpch-mainz.mpg.de Max Planck Institute for Chemistry phone : +49-6131-305-453 PO Box 3060 55020 Mainz fax : +49-6131-305-436 (Deliveries: J.
