... Just for the fun of reading: More Die From Car Pollution Than Road Accidents -- Mr. John Germanos From Germany Requests "Letter of Intent & Contract" for Germany and Greece From Adcapital Industries THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 09, 2006 4:06 PM VANCOUVER, BC, Feb 09, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) Mr. John Germanos, an affluent business tycoon from Germany, requested a letter of intent and contract for Germany and Greece from Adcapital Industries (ADCS) . Mr.Germanos is taking all steps necessary to see that Germany and Greece have dramatic vehicle emission reductions as soon as possible. Mr. John Germanos is working towards the manufacture, production and distribution in Greece and Germany of the Auto Emission Post Regulator (AEPR) which contains a groundbreaking technology that reduces the vehicle emission NOx by an outstanding 97%. Road traffic is the fastest growing source of pollution in Europe, Austria, France and Switzerland and in some countries more people are dying as a result of this air pollution than are being killed in accidents, health experts said on Jan 15, 2006 . According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an extra 21,000 premature deaths per year from respiratory or heart diseases are due to vehicle emissions which are more than the total number of annual traffic deaths in three countries combined. "The growing evidence is that air pollution is causing a major health burden, and we need to address this head on," stated Dr. Carlos Dora of the WHO. A new report from the respected Environment and Forecasting Institute in Heidelberg, Germany puts the car right back at the center of the transport debate and raises fundamental questions about a society increasingly adapting itself to the car. The German analysts take a medium-sized car and assume that it is driven for 13,000 km a year for 10 years. They then compute its financial, environmental and health impacts "from cradle to grave." Long before the car has got to the showroom, they find it has produced significant amounts of damage to air, water and land ecosystems. Each car produced in Germany (where environmental standards are among the worlds highest), produces 25,000 kg of waste and 422 million cubic meters of polluted air in the extraction of raw materials alone, say the Heidelberg researchers. The transport of these raw materials to Germany and around the country to factories produces a further 425 million cubic meters of polluted air and 12 liters of crude oil in the oceans of the world (for each car) . The production of the car itself adds a further 1, 500 kg of waste and 75 million cubic meters of polluted air. Calculations of the impact of a car in use make the generous assumption that the car has a three-way catalytic converter and uses 10 liters of lead-free petrol for every 100 km. Over 10 years, the Heidelberg researchers believe that one car will produce: -- 44.3 tons of carbon dioxide; -- 4.8 kg of sulfur dioxide; -- 46.8 kg of nitrogen dioxide; Adcapital Industries has successfully developed the solution to these catastrophic problems with a cheap and easily installed supplementary device called the Auto Emission Post Regulator (AEPR) which contains a groundbreaking technology that reduces the vehicle emission NOx by an outstanding 97%. The cartridge, located inside the vehicle's muffler shell, has three separate chambers inside of it. The first chamber works as a regular muffler unit system that reduces noise pollution. The second chamber has a very high electrostatic voltage device that produces non-thermal plasma technology and tears the exhaust emissions into pieces, at which point they are forced into the third chamber, a condensation chamber. The AEPR forces a chemical reaction to take place. The following devices can participate: -- All Terrain Vehicles -- Farm Equipment -- Gardening and Lawn Care -- Products -- Marine Engines -- Stoves -- Industrial Adcapital Industries is excited to announce that progress in contact negotiations with Mr. John Germanos is going well. He has requested a letter of intent and the full license agreement contract. Look for more updates with these and other negotiations for the manufacture and distribution of the AEPR soon! About Adcapital Industries Adcapital Industries has very important revolutionary, cost-effective, emissions control technology. The company has evolved from more than 20 years of technological advances in emissions control, materials and techniques. ADCS was formed to create, support and license a patent-pending exhaust reduction technology, based on a forward-looking philosophy, creating a source of revenue throughout the useful service life of the device, while remaining current with advances in technology. The Company's 100% owned Auto Emissions Post Regulator AEPR(TM) exhaust reduction technology dramatically reduces emissions safely and inexpensively. This fast and practical technology uses a patent-pending as well as very unique process and methods that result in dramatically reduced emissions while providing a revenue stream throughout its service life. Most importantly, all of the intellectual property and related patent-pending techniques protect the Company's efforts and ensure long-term competitive advantage.

Changing the crop from tobacco to palm oil or other cash crops is the obvious answer with some financial help to tide over the transitional difficulties. If the argument were otherwise, will you continue to justify the existence of poppy fields in Burma, North Thailand, Afghanistan, etc? *************From Uncle Yap************** ** Berita Malaysia - Free Malaysian News & Discussion Group ** Archives/manage subscription: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beritamalaysia Subscribe : Blank e-mail to: Unsubscribe: Blank e-mail to: ** bmalaysia - Just The Malaysian News (Free of charge) ** Archives/manage subscription: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bmalaysia Subscribe : Blank e-mail to: Unsubscribe: Blank e-mail to: |
