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.

I think this line of argument no longer hold water as a defence for
social demerits. 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?
