Truck Drivers At Greater Risk For Lung Cancer

Diesel Users Suffer More Lung Cancer; a Simple Solution is to Hand from ChemEcol and VEPower

Those who work with and at close proximity to diesel engines, especially lorry drivers, are at a higher risk of cancer according to a recent US study. This is on top of the elevated risk of "heart disease and stroke, possibly resulting from enhanced coagulation and arterial thrombosis" such exposure gives. The good news is that a British company has developed a fuel technology that is seen to significantly reduce ultra fine particulate emissions by as much as 45%.

Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom, March 28, 2009 -- Truckers endure such grave risks as lung cancers, heart disease and stroke all the time they run their engines. But it's not just the lorry drivers who are at risk. The American study also saw that those working with the and near trucks (fork truck drivers, warehousemen, mechanics, and even office workers) are at elevated risk from these killers. Why?

Diesel exhaust carries particulate matter; this is what colours it smoky black. Particulates are both created by and carriers of toxic substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many of these are known to be particularly carcinogenic, mutagenic. Some of these particles are small enough (100nm or less) to be classified as nanoparticles. These have been found to become distributed around the body via the blood supply once inhaled with notable deposits being found in the liver and heart. If ingested (when particles have settled on food or in drink) they will also pass into the gastro-intestinal tract (4).

It's not just haulage workers and their colleagues who are at risk. Black carbon (again, part of the exhaust) exposure in city children has been shown to reduce development in terms of intelligence (5). The particulate matter we have been looking at is known also to exacerbate respiratory complaints, allergies such as asthma and may agitate some skin complaints also. Some studies have found that certain particulate constituents can be carcinogenic on the skin as well as when inhaled (6).

ChemEcol (UK) Ltd. makes the combustion enhancer Additone. The technology has been developed as a response to the grave threats posed by vehicle exhaust pollution. ChemEcol's products are not based on metallic catalysts, nano-technology or otherwise, as such would counteract the goal of reducing particulate pollutant emissions (the metallic particles would be exhausted along with the other emissions). In fact this technology is based on pure hydrocarbon formulations, maintaining the physical properties of the diesel.

ChemEcol's patented technology modifies the processes of fuel combustion inside the engine, reducing the particulates produced at the most fundamental level. This has a beneficial side-effect of reducing fuel consumption as the PAHs otherwise produced can be considered to be wasted fuel. This change then reduces CO2 emissions and costs by an average of 3%.

Customers Can Call Your Free 800 Number For Under 2 Cents A Minute!

I've blogged about this Cardinal phone calling card before, but I wanted to do so again because so few people are taking advantage of this offer that gives you a free 800-number and very cheap rates. With this deal any person that needs a long distance service can have one for very little money. It's a great deal even if you don't want or need a toll-free number to give to customers. But if you do get one you may decide to set up the 800-number and give it to family and friends. The reason is that you will see how really cheap it is and you may want to talk to your friends or family more often than you do now. By giving them the 800 number you pay the same lows rates, but they can call you when they need to talk to you.

This is PERFECT if you have kids that are away at school. With an 800 number they can call you anytime from anywhere, and if they have to use a pay phone there is an extra charge, but with this card it's only $0.99 so it's not too bad.

If you are in business I don't have to tell you what an 800 number means for increasing sales and customer service satisfaction. Yes, and it also makes your company look bigger than it did before. If you look at any business contacts and some have an 800 number and some don't, which one are you going to think is more professional and more importantly, more successful to be able to afford to offer this? If you call the phone company, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY A LOT MORE to get 800 service. Not only to get the number, but also for the calls you get because the rates are not going to be this low. Less than 2 cents a minute. Talk for a half an hour for 60 cents...!

If that's not enough I can list some other features and reasons for getting this card:

· Make cheap International calls
· Maintenance Fee - No
· Rounding - 1 minute
· Toll Free Access Numbers - Yes (USA, Canada)
· Local Access Numbers - Yes (USA)
· Tax - No
· Pay Phone Charge - 99c
· Pinless Dialing - Just call the access number and then the number you want to call
· Speed Dial - Call friends by hitting 3 keys

If you try it and don't like this card, contact me and I may buy your card and any un-used time as long as it's under $10. I will take over your account because I can transfer the time on your card to mine. That's how happy I am with the features, service, price, and call quality...!

The site where I got this card had over 20 different ones to choose from. Some phone cards are less expensive rates, but they charge a weekly maintenance fee. If you do a high volume of calling you may want to select one of these other cards. And not all cards work in all countries, so if you are located outside the US, you'll want to check which cards have the best rate for where you live and call. There is a simple rate-finder tool on the site home page. They even offer AT&T phone cards if you are not sure about some of these card names that you have not hear of before, but the rates are really, really high, so that may not be the best option.
