Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Wow, that was an eye-opener. I have used coke to clean battery terminals a lot. Works great. I rarely drink coke but do drink tons of iced tea. Not sure I want to hear what it's doing to me. Off I go for a nice glass of water.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Carl: I find limiting the discussion to your area(s) of expertise makes a lot of sense. I don't ask the plumber about proper window flashing detail any more than I seek the advice of a realtor about sizing an HVAC system. If you are a medical professional with expertise in environmental or occupational health, then your opinion is important. But if you are simply being argumentative in an effort to support an opinion, it's nothing more than noise. What's the point of a " professional " forum if the non-professionals drive folks away? That's counter to the purpose of this forum - information exchange. There are thousands of public forums but only a handful of moderated " professional " forums. Preserve the forum, remove the noise. Will In one sense I agree to limit discussions here to just the technical issues and not the health aspects. But I wonder if doing so unreasonably increases our risk. Whether you agree or not, whether we like it or not, here is a lead paragraph from a recent article which indicates we may eventually be forced into including both: ....Building Health Sciences has combined in-house building science and construction defect expertise with medical doctors. Mold litigation has expanded beyond personal injury claims to building owner negligence, design deficiencies, defective workmanship and construction defects. Recently, damp indoor spaces and a host of associated factors: bacteria, endotoxins, cell wall components, VOCs, and viruses have taken center stage... Full article at: http://www.buildinghealthsciences.com/Blog/post/WHITE-COATS-and-HARD- HATS.aspx I don't know who Building Health Sciences is or what their protocol and ethics is, but it makes me wonder even if we can isolate building science issues from health aspects, should we?
