Stagecoach: Take customers money & their health!!!!!!!!!!

robin ludd | 06.04.2007 19:21 | Ecology | Technology | Workers' Movements

dodgy nano feul additives, described by many scientists as the most dangerous way to use nanotech, an experiment on us all, but one international trade union stands up in the food sector

Nano goes beyond ethics of some scientists, we need to halt it with basic health & safety rules now!!

OXONICA oxford based company & first makers of nano titanium dioxide Optisol suncreams which US government are now recommending limited doses due to harmful effects have come out with a nanoparticle fuel to save energy on combustion, ENVIROX primarily made for asian market as vehicles there are old & cannot be upgraded etc it is an additive made in Australia by ANT fuels.

 http://www.icis.com/awards/pdfs/ecn10oct20.pdf

The additive cerium oxide a nano oxidation catalyst improves efficiency by 5-10% & is “cost effectve”, it has been used in Phillipines & apparently all of the UK Stagecoach fleet, so maybe this is why the megabus is so cheap?, we are guinea pigs for untested products. Research on titanium oxide nano suncreams that have been used decades have shown side effects, so what is envirox doing to our lungs?.

Bus workers in stations & drivers seem to be unaware of this, if in IWW, TGWUetc please pass info on. I was in Victoria bus station London & workers I spoke to there are just working on rumours.

This additive may now be being used on trains & other vehicles, worth checking with your supplier or company & demanding health & safety regualtions,use your consumer power too if travelling.

DEFRA last year & EU only have non commital guidelines made with afew ngos's like greenpeace & FOE doing their best.

Nano companies as it is a multi billion fast moving sector. But if insurance companies & other sectors start getting itchy like with global warming then we can hopefully start slowin down or stopping any harmful effects.

Below are a few comments from a scientist discussing nano particles,saying airborne nano & diesel are potentially the most toxic form of nano pollution


" Keep in mind we're already exposed to some nanoparticles everyday (though not of the commercial variety)--diesel exhaust. Diesel exhaust is now known to be one of the most toxic components of ambient air pollution.

On 4-May-2006 by simulus

There are three reasons nanoparticles should warrant additional attention:

1) Since they are smaller than 100 nm, they are difficult to detect
2) It is easy to make many of them, without stringent quality control requirements
3) They are still not completely understood, mainly due to the first reason

Airborne nanoparticles are the worst in my opinion. I wonder if we can use heat or ionization to trap these. " http://www.icis.com/awards/pdfs/ecn10oct20.pdf
yours,"


there needs to be a halt & regulation of nanotech asap, so far in the eu & globally there are just guidelines,

In febuary the International Union of Food, Farm & Hotel Workers considers global nano-moratorium to stop nanotech, this is amazing news that a workers organisation even if not libertarion based is helping llead the charge to stop dangerous nanotech.

Boycott & contactx for stagecoach

08.04.2007 17:34

Boycott Stagecoach & ask get your union, health officials to demand tests & a stop to envirox.

Contact stagecoach group via their contact page & let them know that buses are great, but toxic fuel is dumb!
 http://www.stagecoachgroup.com/scg/services/contacts/

stagecoach are a national service, they do not operate many services in some cities though. In Nottingham only afew though route services come through that are run by them to Worksop for example, we are lucky at moment & it would be disasterous to allow use of this dodgy fuel to spread.
They operate local services in yorkshire,scotland, oxford & many other areas
