Idaho"s Silver Valley is still at risk 50 years after mine fire caused largest lead-poisoning case in US history
On Sept. 3, 1973, a fire swept through the baghouse of the Bunker Hill mine in Idaho's Silver Valley. The building was designed to filter pollutants produced by smelting, the melting of rocks that separates metal from its ore. The gases produced in t.....»»
Spelt or common wheat? Their diversity of nutritional components prevents identification of which species is healthier
After comparing 90 varieties of spelt with 9 varieties of modern, common wheat, a study by the UCO concluded that the marked heterogeneity characterizing the nutritional compounds of the different varieties makes it impossible to state that one speci.....»»
