Drinking water in several Oregon schools found to be contaminated with multiple pesticides

[ENEWSPF September 10, 2012] -- Traces of pesticides in drinking water were found in eleven rural elementary schools in Oregon, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) study released on August 30. The study shows a disturbing variety of pesticides that when combined could have dramatic impacts on the health of the children that consume this water on a daily basis. The study found traces of several different types of pesticides in the drinking water of Dixie and Fairplay, the elementary schools that service Corvallis, Oregon. Some of the pesticides that were found in the Dixie school water include atrazine, bromacil, diuron, imidacloprid, metolachlor, norflurazon, and simazine. In the nine other schools that were found to have pesticides in their drinking water, seven different pesticides were found in the water at Applegate Elementary in Eugene, and multiple pesticides were also found in the drinking water of Ontario’s Pioneer and Cairo elementary. Children face unique hazards from pesticide exposure. They take in more pesticides relative to their body weight than adults in the food they eat and air they breathe. Their developing organ systems often make them more sensitive to toxic exposure. The body of evidence in scientific literature shows that pesticide exposure can adversely affect a child’s neurological, respiratory, immune, and endocrine system, even at low levels. The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 directs EPA to set pesticide residue standards ten times stricter than those considered acceptable for adults, however, this standard has often been ignored.

Shell starts first biogasoline demo plant

By Doris de Guzman on March 23, 2010 11:25 AM

I just got this email from Shell announcing their successful start-up of the world's first demonstration plant converting plant sugars into gasoline and gasoline blend components (instead of ethanol) in Wisconsin, USA.
The demo plant has the capacity to produce up to 38,000 litres/year (10,000 gal/year), which will be used for engine and fleet testing. It will use Virent's patented BioForming® platform technology, which uses catalysts to convert plant sugars into hydrocarbon molecules like those produced at a petroleum refinery. Feedstocks that can be used for the plant include corn stover, wheat straw, sugarcane pulp aside from the conventional feedstock such as wheat, corn and sugarcane.
Shell says the new biofuel can be blended with gasoline in high concentrations for use in standard gasoline engines. This means no need for specialized infrastructure, engine modifications, and blending equipment necessary for the use of gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol.
