#643 - Studying A Town To Death
نویسنده
چکیده
According to California's state Environmental Protection Agency (Cal EPA), the people of Lompoc have been lodging formal complaints about pesticide drift and health problems for at least six years, since 1993. George Rauh, a teacher who moved to Lompoc in 1989, says, "For the first two years, I thought it was great. Then I got chronic bronchitis. I had never had anything like it, and I knew something was wrong. I started asking around and I found many, many people had problems -bronchitis, asthma, headaches, the flu when it wasn't flu season, even reproductive problems, and a host of other ailments. It was obvious that there was something really wrong." In 1992 Rauh and his neighbors formed Volunteers for a Healthy Valley and began asking local and state health officials to pay attention.

متن کاملEnantioselective surface chemistry of R-2-bromobutane on Cu(643)R&S and Cu(531)R&S.
The enantioselective surface chemistry of chiral R-2-bromobutane was studied on the naturally chiral Cu(643)R&S and Cu(531)R&S surfaces by comparing relative product yields during temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy. Molecularly adsorbed R-2-bromobutane can desorb molecularly or debrominate to form R-2-butyl groups on the surfaces. The R-2-butyl groups react further by beta-hydride eli...
