Ozone As Pesticide
Makarand writes "Purdue University researchers in the search for
alternatives to insect fumigants that damage Earth's ozone layer
have found that
ozone gas can be used as a potent
pesticide without causing any environmental harm.
Farmers could use ozone generators to get rid
of insects in their grain bins by releasing ozone
in them."
PETA protest to follow...
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
"Scientists say the ozone layer is too thick after 2 decades of overuse of ozone as a pesticide. This will result in global warming, and the eventual extinction of humans, unless some sort of ozone layer thinning can be done."
