Children going back to school?
· Are you sending your children to schools or daycare’s that have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms?

 · Are the school’s or daycares’ heating systems performing  at the manufacturer and code specifications of the district?

 · Is the ventilation system providing  an air exchange worthy of delivering fresh air to each child, student, instructor, staff and visitor?  Is it measured or merely guessed at with timers?

· Who is responsible  for the air your child breathes?

· Measure carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide daily  in the air that you breathe and learning occurs. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Carbon monoxide poisoning kills seven in China
Business Standard
Seven people died of carbon monoxide poisoning in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region while and four were injured, the authorities said Monday…

Higher CO2 harms all marine life from corals and clams to fish Businessweek - Rising levels of carbon dioxide are harming all forms of marine life because the oceans are acidifying as they absorb the gas, German researchers found. Mollusks, corals and a class of creatures called echinoderms that includes starfish and sea urchins are the worst affected by the uptake of CO2 by the seas, according to a study today in the journal Nature Climate Change by researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven. The gas forms carbonic acid when it dissolves in the oceans, lowering their pH level.

Goverment expecting CO2 emissions cut The Japan News - The government is hoping to drive down carbon dioxide emissions by steering people toward ultracompact cars. The idea is to encourage the elderly and parents with small children to use highly fuel-efficient vehicles as a means of short-distance transportation for shopping and other daily activities… 

Africa: Desert Plantations Could Help Capture Carbon AllAfrica.com - "There are billions and billions of litres of sewage that are discharged into the oceans every week, but instead we could send that water to the desert and plant trees," he says. "In this situation, you wouldn't need any expensive artificial nitrogen [to fertilise the trees]."
