Not to assess the extent to which toxic gases and other pollutants escape from the water in Shower Baths c9rnell University has in stalled four airtight Chambers in which emissions from showers can be tested As Well As the role of various Shower nozzle designs. The pollutants to be tested Are those sometimes found in water sup plies in tiny but possibly harmful amounts. They include trichloroethylene a cleaning fluid pentachlorophenol a widely used Wood preservative and chloroform which is sometimes produced when organic material in water reacts with chlorine added for water purification. While radon Gas is also a concern its radioactive properties require that it be tested separately chiefly As a component of Well water. Surveys of Wells have been made or Are under Way in a number of states. Installation of the Chambers at Cor Nell was recently completed and the first tests should begin shortly said it s All in the nose Garrett a. Keating a graduate student at the University. Later the Chambers will be used to grow plants that have been genetically altered. A miniature environment will be created to test the plants effects on other life forms. The program is directed by or. James w. Gillett professor of eco Toxi cology who developed such Chambers while at a Laboratory of the Environ mental Protection Agency in Corval Lis Ore. Eventually before altered species of Plant Are introduced into the open it is hoped that the Chambers will be useful in testing to see How Field mice Meadow Voles or other animals re Spond to an environment in which such plants Are growing. To test the extent to which showers give off noxious materials the water used will be pure except for a single contaminant such As pentachlorophenol. The Chambers Are designed so that the percentage of contaminant that escapes from the water can be deter mined. Air is sucked out through 12 filters on the Cabinet Walls capturing Gas and particles that might be inhaled. The rest still mixed in the water Falls on a three Inch bed of diatomaceous Earth that filters out the Rem Nant. The environmental Protection Agency says Home water should not contain More than one part in 10 Mil lion of trichloroethylene which will also be tested As Well As Hydrogen sul fide whose foul smelling Gas can enter water from the soil. Radon Breaks Down so rapidly that half of a Given amount vanishes in 3.8 Days. As a result Little is usually found in municipal systems. While the chief Hazard has been air in Homes whose cellars have been dug into Radium Rich formations it has also been found that some Homes free of that Hazard still derive significant amounts from Well water. Drinking radon Rich water is not believed to be dangerous. Only if one inhales radon or other dangerous material from the water is there the threat of lung cancer experts believe. A Standard measure of Low level radiation the Pic Curie is used to Mea sure exposures from radon in air or water. Or. Karim Rimawi director of the Bureau of environmental radiation Protection in the new York state department of health said water from a Home Well in Orange county near the new Jersey Border registered 385,000 Pic curies per liter. Yet air in the Home measured Only 50 Pic curies per liter indicating that relatively Little of the Gas was escaping from the water. The highest level reported in the country has been measured in Clinton . Margaret a. Thomas of connect Cut s department of environmental Protection has found considerable radon in Wells penetrating a granitic formation West of Hartford and Waterbury. Man s lovemaking problem nothing to sneeze at Clemson . A it s All in the nose a Doc Tor told a Man afflicted by attacks of sneezing after lovemaking. A nose Spray recommended by a California doctor in a question and answer Section of the journal of the american medical association has Given a 60-year-old Man Relief and should Clear up his problems his family doctor said. He would have four to five sneezes starting at about one minute after. As soon As they finished lovemaking his wife would run and get a Box of kleenex said or. Wil Liam h. Hunter of his 60-year-old patient who had what appeared to be an allergy for about two years. In describing the Man s symptoms in Jama Hunter wrote this is the most unusual problem i have Ever been presented with by a  the sneezing is probably due to a condition called Vasomotor rhinitis a fairly common syndrome in which the nasal passages Are chronically swollen responded or. Jeffrey a. Wald of san Diego in last week s Issue of the journal. The swelling of the tissue inside the nose leads to an increase in secretions which probably trigger the sneezing Wald said. Somehow the Ama always finds an answer no matter How obscure the problem said Hunter a past president of the South Carolina medical association
