Biofriendly
Applauds Congress Call for Cleaner Air
By: Peter Verhoeff
According to an article in earthjustice.org
(1), 22 members of the U.S. House of Representatives sent a
letter (2) to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), urging
them to impose stronger limits on smog pollution. This is good
news to environmental and other biofriendly groups, as well
as the many individuals who are concerned about the threats
posed to the environment and public health.
The EPA, the organization entrusted with protecting the environment
in the U.S., is considering tightening up on the allowed smog
levels, but hasn't yet decided by how much. Comments on their
proposed standard were accepted until October 9th, 2007 and
the final standard for smog pollution is due in March 2008.
In many cities, smog poses a serious health problem. Smog can
aggravate existing heart and lung conditions, as well as cause
eye, nose and throat irritation. The adverse reactions are most
pronounced in the elderly and young children, causing an increased
incidence of asthma and other respiratory afflictions.
Enforcing stricter clean air
standards is a step in the right direction of a healthier environment.
But it is not enough to expect our government to look after
us. We, as individuals can be pro-active in bringing about a
cleaner and healthier environment. We have a vested interest
in doing so.
Internal combustion engines are a major source of smog and other
forms of pollution and while many plans have been devised, such
as hydrogen fuel, fuel cells and electric cars, for the time
being we are stuck with polluting engines.
Biofriendly Corporation is one company that is doing something
about improving the environment with their Green Plus® liquid
fuel catalyst that reduces harmful emissions. Green Plus works
at the molecular level to improve the fuel combustion process.
It causes the available oxygen to mix more thoroughly with the
hydrocarbon molecules, creating a more complete and more rapid
burn, in turn resulting in increased power, more torque, better
fuel economy and fewer harmful emissions.
