Press Release: October 12th, 2006 Renewable Energy Conference.
The manufacturing plants that produce ethanol from corn and grains, throughout the U.S. are dangerously increasing pollution and adversely affecting the quality of the air we breathe -
The rapid increase in pollution is now becoming more evident as ethanol production increases.
Reports from States where ethanol plants are most prevalent (corn belt) show an increased prevalence in medical disease, especially lung disease, due to the chemicals and smoke that the ethanol plants release into the atmosphere during production of corn and grains into alcohol.
Adelhyde, a function of ethanol volume, is a threat to nose, eyes, throat and possibly causes cancer. At lower ethanol-blend volumes, adelhyde emmissions are controlled by the catalytic converter.
Although ethanol gas (made from corn and grains) seems preferable over petroleum as a source of fuel,
the greenhouse emmissions of corn fuel is much higher when land use is factored in as reported in 2/7/08 article published by Associated Press MSNBC View at: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23057867/
