By Curtis K. Shelburne: CNJ columnist
I don't remember how old I was when the incident I'm about to mention took place. I just remember that I thought I was hungry-so that could cover most of the last 48 years and is not much help. I do think it was early on a Sunday morning, which meant my family and I were getting ready for church-even if on Saturday we had had company (somebody like, say, the President of the United States), a sniffle, a really busy day, a near hit at the house from space junk, a drive-by shooting, or anything less than major surgery.
Nobody'd thought of doing church Wal-Mart style then, so it was not a mega-church with 10 flavors of worship and 394 special groups listed in a catalog the size of a small city's phone book. It wasn't a church where nobody noticed much or really cared in anything but a theoretical sense if we were there or not. It was not a church where we could get lost in the crowd and never have to make much effort to do anything. If we weren't there, we would be missed and some things would go undone.
We went on Sunday nights, too. I used to wonder: if I got hit by a car on a Sunday afternoon at 3, would I still have to go to church at 6 and miss, as always, The Wonderful World of Disney? I was as a child unrepentant about thinking that there was nothing happening on Sunday evenings at church that was anything like as wonderful as what Disney could do on TV in the very same time slot. But my parents didn't buy my reasoning.
So, if it was a Sunday, and I think it was, I know where we were headed. I'm also pretty sure there was a church dinner that day because Mom was up early and had already been doing some cooking. She'd migrated to another part of the house for a moment when I happened to pass through the kitchen and noticed there on a platter, brown and beautiful, having just recently been baptized in hot oil, some meatballs begging to be snitched, and I answered their call. What I didn't know, since I knew more about meatball-eating than I knew about meatball-cooking, was that they weren't done yet. Not even close. No matter how good those meatballs looked on the outside, they still needed some serious oven time in order to be ready on the inside. The inside of the meatball I snitched was completely raw hamburger meat, which I now know can be really bad for you in a number of unpleasant ways.
Christians are called to live lives that, inside and out, reflect the beauty of God's Son. We are called to live winsome and honest lives so that what people see on the outside is an absolutely authentic expression of what truly exists by Christ's power on the inside.

Man carjacked by drug dealer trying to buy pot
Published On: Jan 30 2013 02:04:10 PM PST Updated On: Jan 29 2013 10:19:42 AM PST
Spokane police said they are looking for a dealer who carjacked a man during a drug deal Tuesday morning.
According to police, a man met up with the drug dealer at Maple Avenue and Everett Street just before 4 a.m. Tuesday to buy marijuana.
The drug dealer got into the man's car, pulled out a gun and told the man to get out of his car. The suspect then got into the driver's seat and took off.
The victim ran to a neighbor's house on the 5300 block of North Maple Avenue to call police.
According to police, the stolen car is a 2005 gray Kia Spectra. The suspect is a man in his 20s.

Another school year has just begun, and I typically welcome the chance to shuffle my kids off to school. But this year I pause as I am reminded of the school bus incident in May 2012 when a child was struck by a passing vehicle while boarding a school bus. Fortunately it was reported that this child received only minor injuries.
However, this was not an isolated incident in Prince Albert. Back in 2009, another young child was struck by a passing vehicle while unloading from a school bus and was reported to have sustained more severe injuries.
In both cases, the children were only six years old. As a concerned parent of young school aged children I ask myself, how could this have happened? Could these incidents have been prevented? Didn't the bus use its stop arm and flashing lights?
I was shocked to learn that the City of Prince Albert has a bylaw (Bylaw No. 54 of 1983) that prohibits the use of school bus safety lights and stop arms within the city limits. This bylaw is legal under both the provincial Traffic Safety Act and the School Bus Operation Regulations (1987).
Even the SGI Driver's Handbook indicates that many communities have these bylaws in place, and drivers are allowed to pass a stopped school bus with caution.
Most major urban centers including Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Regina also have instituted this bylaw.
In my research, I've had the opportunity to discuss this issue with people from key organizations such as the Highway Traffic Board, Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI), Hertz Northern Bus, and the City of Prince Albert bylaw manager, all of whom agree that bus safety lights are effective and are all in favour for the lights to be used.
So the questions remain: Why was this bylaw put in place? Are those reasons still justifiable in our society today, almost 30 years later?
In the reports associated with the bylaw, it was believed that to have the school buses flash their lights and require all traffic to stop "would be a major impediment to the reasonable free flow of traffic and could even be a safety problem as many vehicle operators would not recognize the necessity to stop in the city limits. The delays would be unreasonable and create additional safety problems."
This is Prince Albert; it isn't Toronto. Part of the beauty of Prince Albert is the 10-minute commute. Stopping for school buses during morning commute might add two minutes.
My children are worth two minutes; are yours?
Another reason presented to me was that Prince Albert would be an anomaly among Saskatchewan municipalities and children would be at greater risk as visiting drivers would be unaware of the purpose of the safety lights and their meaning.
School bus lights are mandatory outside of city limits and in other city centres such as North Battleford. So the argument that drivers are not educated falls a bit flat.
Finally, the argument that safety lights provide a false sense of security to school bus passengers is out of step with safety requirements continentally. I am sure the same argument was used when seat belts became mandatory about the same time in the '80s. I would doubt anyone these days would argue that seat belts do not save lives.
I would argue that Prince Albert and Saskatchewan are the anomaly in not universally requiring the use of school bus safety lights as almost all jurisdictions in North America require their use. The evidence for this is in the fact that you cannot buy a school bus without this safety equipment much like you cannot by a car without headlights or wipers: they are standard safety features.
There was no risk mitigation analyses performed prior to enacting this bylaw. Bylaw no. 54 was implemented in 1983; a time before texting, cell phones and other electronic distractions; and a time where only 53 per cent of mothers were in the working force and the other 47 per cent walked their kids to school.
Statistics Canada Census data shows that Prince Albert population has increased by about 5,000 people since 1981. Since the population of school children remained the same, it can be inferred that this increase represents the driving population and therefore an increase in roadway activity.
Frankly the reasons that have been presented to justify the current bylaw might have had some merit 30 years ago, but they ring a bit hollow today. It all comes down to the fact that there are two victims of an incident that could have been prevented.
This is two too many. Will the next one be fatal? Will the next one be your child?
What would it take to remove the bylaw?
Apart from a little bit of vision and courage on the part of current council this bylaw could be off the book in time for the second month of the new school year. It would be hard to argue against providing safety for our children particularly in an election year. Some enforcement of scofflaws would be required but a few public instances of tickets being given is usually enough to encourage general compliance. There would have to be unified support by the French Immersion, Public and Catholic School Boards to initiate a change.
For the respect of our young victims and future ones, it is worth the while to re-evaluate the purpose of this bylaw.
We need to ask ourselves, what is more important; drivers getting to their destination on time or ensuring that our children survive to see tomorrow?

Project ID: 2003WI47B
Title: Arsenic Contamination in Groundwater in Southeast Wisconsin
Project Type: Research
Focus Categories: Hydrogeochemistry, Toxic Substances, Water Quality
Keywords: arsenic
Start Date: 03/01/2003
End Date: 02/29/2004
Federal Funds: $28628.00
Matching Funds: $25453.00
Congressional District: 2nd
Principal Investigators: Bahr, Jean (Univ. of Wisconsin); Gotkowitz, Madeline
Abstract: Moderate to high levels of arsenic contamination occur in groundwater throughout eastern Wisconsin. Previous studies have shown that oxidative dissolution of arsenic-bearing sulfide minerals is the likely mechanism controlling high levels of arsenic contamination in the Fox River valley area. Our preliminary work indicates that geologic and hydrogeologic conditions contributing to arsenic-impacted wells in southeast Wisconsin differ from those in the Fox River valley. Thus, geochemical mechanisms of arsenic release other than sulfide oxidation, such as the reduction of arsenic-bearing iron- (hydr)oxides, may affect groundwater supplies in southeast Wisconsin. We propose to use groundwater chemistry data, lithologic, mineralogic, and well construction information to identify geologic sources of arsenic. Bench-scale leaching experiments and geochemical modeling will be used to examine the mechanisms controlling the release of arsenic to the ground water. The objectives of this proposed study are to identify the geologic source(s) of arsenic and the geochemical mechanism(s) and environmental conditions that cause release of arsenic to well water in southeast Wisconsin.

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (9-0) held on to the No. 1 spot in this week's NFL Power Rankings with a 45-7 win over the struggling Minnesota Vikings (2-7) on Monday night.
While that's no real surprise, other teams like the Denver Broncos, who started out slow, have begun to climb the ranks over the last few weeks.
So, where does Tim Tebow have his Broncos ranked this week? What's happening with Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys?
These are just some of the questions to get answered as we break down and analyze the NFL Power Rankings for Week 11.

Sweet Potato Mash With Rosemary & Yogurt (Video)
There is no way I could let the Thanksgiving recipes start to roll without incorporating some sweet potatoes into the mix.
The inspiration for the recipe came from a fun, little contest I'm doing with Oikos (plain Greek yogurt).
All the contestants had to come up with an appetizer, side dish, and dessert that of course incorporated their yogurt into the mix, which seemed easy enough, so off I went into my test kitchen (ok -that's an exaggeration, this was more of a one shot deal).
Now, I don't usually jump out of my seat to join in on a contest BUT since this one incorporated a product that I already use and enjoy, I figured why not take on the challenge and share my ideas with you guys!
And should you care to help me win, all ya need to do is pop on over here and vote for my recipes. Easy peasy;).
But enough with the pleading and back to the recipe.
The Greek yogurt seemed like an easy and sensible addition to these mashed sweet potatoes. It added a little extra creaminess and made for a lighter choice than the extra virgin olive oil that I would normally opt for.
They would make a great addition to your Turkey Day table and would also be delicious on a Tuesday night as a quick side.
If you should give the recipe a try and find yourself with any leftovers, try heating them up in a pan for breakfast so the edges get a little crispy and then top with an over medium egg. I think THIS may just be my favorite way to eat them.
Oh and did I mention you can vote here. Oh wait, I think I already said that;).
Sweet Potato Mash With Rosemary And Yogurt
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
- 3 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled
- 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- ½ onion, diced

- Salt and pepper to taste
Cut sweet potatoes into bite sized chunks and steam in a steamer basket for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tsp. of olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet and sauté your onions and garlic along with a pinch of salt for about 8 minutes or until fragrant and translucent.
In a medium bowl, combine steamed sweet potato chunks, onion and garlic mixture, rosemary, and Greek yogurt and season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Justin's Casino Night Should Be a Full House!
June 10th, after the Twins play host to the Cubs in an interleague Sunday matinee, Justin and Krista Morneau will be hosting their fourth annual casino night — sure to sell out again. The event will be held at International Market Square in Minneapolis and will kick off at around 6 P.M. It is an extremely cool event, with the proceeds going to the Arthritis Foundation and earmarked for Juvenile Arthritis. For $150 you get to wander among appetizers, adult beverages, and casino games played for fun. But the kicker is: Twins players and other celebrities are doing the same. This is one event where the fan gets a real schmooze opportunity with the celebrities. To register, google: "Justin Morneau's Casino Night."
Other Acts of Good Will
Joe Mauer's family and friends will be going to the ballpark en masse on June 26 to watch Joe play, and to raise money for several local institutions and causes. Among them are: The Catholic Athletic Association, St. Columba Church, Cretin-Derham Hall's tuition assistance program, and Friends of St. Paul.
Paul Molitor will be joining forces with Friends of St. Paul in their annual fundraising golf event. He will be replacing Joe Mauer, who is stepping down as host. Joe's plan was to go solo and start a golf event which would raise money and awareness for his own foundation, and then personally choose his causes. I think last year's injuries and illnesses became Joe's main concerns, and that's probably why this was put on the back burner. Now that Joe has rebounded back to being a happy, healthy, and strong catcher, I'm predicting he'll have a major event within a couple of years. And with Paul at the helm of The Friends of St. Paul's event, it will surely have continued success.
Don't Get Hair in the Ice Cream
A couple of years ago, Joe Mauer explained to me why he enjoyed doing the Kemps Ice Cream commercials: He really likes the ice cream, and on the days when they shoot the commercials, he gets to spend time with his mother. I've written many times: Joe is very close to his family and loves spending time with them. However, with his demanding schedule, that doesn't happen as much as he would like. But if there is a commercial scheduled, it's a commitment they've made, so they will both be there, and they have a lot of fun.
Several weeks ago, Joe got to spend an afternoon off not only with his mother, but also with his fiancée and her mother, too. Joe is a spokesman for Head and Shoulders Shampoo, and together they were working on something for them.
That got me thinking. When I first saw Trevor Plouffe this year, he was wearing his Twins cap. He said hello, and nothing seemed different. Later that day, he ran into the dugout and removed his cap to cool off. As he pulled off his cap, I was stunned. A head of hair that seemed twice as long and thick as before popped out. Don't get me wrong; I'm not one who usually looks at a guy's hair — but as a receding (bald) man, I couldn't help but to look with envy. I don't know how it all fit into his cap. I also think his hair was giving him Samson-type strength. He was hitting the ball hard…and many balls were popping out of the park. That was at training camp, but I think this young man is going to ignite sometime in the regular season. He has the capability to hit 30-plus home runs and play a decent right field. He is a bit shaky in the infield, but that is not his forte.
I don't think Trevor will get enough at-bats to hit 30 homers unless someone gets injured, and I hate to say this, but that's been the way it's been going for the Twins. However, if he does well, and gets a little more notoriety, his hair will make him the perfect candidate for a shampoo endorsement. I met his mom last year, and she is a proud, nice lady, just like Teresa Mauer. This spring I asked Trevor how his mom was doing. He told me that he and his mom were both so busy, they hadn't had a chance to see much of each other. So this would be a perfect solution: Trevor hits a ton of homers, Twins win a lot more games, and he gets to hang out with Mom.
Cinco De Mayo at Target Field
On May 5, the Gopher baseball team will be taking over Target Field to host the Penn State Nittany Lions. Tickets go on sale five hours before the 2 P.M. start, and are $5 for students and $10 for adults; cash transactions only. All seats are general admission.
If you haven't seen Target Field yet, this would be a fun way to do it. Because it's general admission, you can scope out the "high-end" seats that usually aren't available to the public, although this year you can find pretty good seats for most Twins games.
But no matter what, if you still haven't been there, you've got to check out Target Field. Win or lose, it's an incredible place, and so is its neighborhood; there are a lot of places to have a lot of fun, before and after the game.
When you go, check out the new Kent Hrbek statue near gate 14.

12 "HauTe Trends" To Know: SA Fashion Week [Spring/Summer 2011]
Evidently, we can't get enough of Fashion Weeks in Africa, the recently concluded SA Fashion Week left us asking for more. We were drooling over the pieces and the sartorial bliss dished out on the runway; the models were stunning as per usual, the styling for most of the designers was certainly beyond natural and of course the designers pull their weights leaving everyone far beyond impressed. We spotted a number of trends in those 3 days of SA Fashion Week and thought we'd share you 12 Top Trends from the shows.
– Dresses et Trousers:
There is wearing dresses and there is pairing trousers with tees, blouses and such but at SA Fashion Week, they upset the status quo and paired dresses with trousers; think Indian Kaftans meet high fashion.
L-R { Mantsho – Amanda Laird Cherry}
– Easy Breezy Beautiful
Pieces with swinging tails as seen below. Nothing too wedding-ey just stylish pieces with a little movement and length attached the lower end of the back giving it a bit of a swing with movement.
L-R { Rubicon – Joel Janse van Vuuren}
– Code: MIDI
Ditch the minis and maxis, Midis have taken over.. as seen as Christopher Strong and Black Coffee below
L-R {Christopher Strong – Black Coffee}
– Metallics
This is has been such a huge trend for a couple of years now and it keeps recurring on the runway, and NO, we are not mad at that. Love us some high-shine!
L-R {Black Coffee – Gugulam}
– Meshy Situation
Mesh, Mesh and More mesh; don't fail to exaggerate with mesh this season. P.S Mesh was also a big trend during AMFW in Lagos.
L-R {Gugulam – Rubicon}
– Drawstrings and Ribbons
Skinny Belts and Obis are long gone, rock on Ribbons. Draw Strings. Tassels, they are apparently a lot cooler than we thought. We are particularly loving the drawstring on that Nude Lunar number below.
L-R {Mantsho – Lunar}
– Ombre Silk Dyeing
Lush Much? We thought so.. We love the richness and femininity that encompasses these, monochromatic colours in dye. YUM! As seen at Joel Vanse van Vuuren and Lunar below
L-R {Joel Janse van Vuuren – Lunar}
– Neutrals
Nothing beats being a standout in the summer with Neutral tones when everyone is sporting bright colours. SA Fashion Week taught us a lesson or two about Neutral tones. See below.
L-R {Leigh Schubert – Colleen Eitzen}
– 70's Glam
Forget whatever you've heard about Boho Fashion or the 70s, Bohemian-isnpired blouses, high waisted wide-leg trousers and such are big at the moment, this fact was further emphasized during SA Fashion Week.
L-R {Kottin & Twille – Mabu}
– Sheer Factor
Just like mesh, sheer is starting to gain the upper hand (Trend Wise); NYFW, AMFW, JFW and now SAFW overdosed on sheer without attempting to look trampy, certainly no harm in showing some skin. We love it.
L-R {Clive Rundle – Hoiden}
– It's Black, It's White
We love how Black and White gained grounds during SA Fashion Week, particularly how Hoiden and Gert Johan Coetzee made the combination look so glam.
L-R {Hoiden – Gert Johan-Coetzee}
– Feather-lite
We are very pleased that we don't have to wait till winter to bring Fur-Drama to the streets, we'll have some Feathers please, for summer. In all stunningness, we promise feather looks fancier when its a detail on the outfit.

... at least for me, at least in Italy. First there is the release of the alpha version of the Silverlight 1.1 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 RTM, which allows me to uninstall the beta2 and go with the VS2008 RTM also for testing out Silverlight development. And second the release of the Italian site of the European Silverlight Challenge, which marks also the beginning of the National phase in Italy. The deadline for submitting a Silverlight 1.1 application is January 28th, so I'd better run and work something out with Daniela which is a UIX. The most appealing prize...

Fashion Fail: Aubrey O'Day Shows off Another odd Outfit at the Premiere Party for her new Show
Once again Aubrey O'Day makes a strong case for being not so fashion savvy as she wore yet another eclectic outfit, featuring what looks to be a pair of silver short-shorts with black ruffles and a fucsia animal print blouse. And the shoes are just awful.
After numerous fashion fails (see more below) we're beginning to wonder if Aubrey might be colorblind.
Aubrey wore the outfit Friday night to the premiere party for her new show, All About Aubrey, which debuts at 10pm on Monday, March 7th on the Oxygen network.
The former Danity Kane singer, who was fired from the band by Diddy after appearing scantily-clad in a string of men's magazines, landed her own show back in July 2010. All About Aubrey will follow the star as she pursues a musical comeback.
"You'll see me with my friends from middle school, so they're like my real, real friends, my family issues, some dating stuff -- but mostly you're going to see my comeback into the music industry," she tells Jacqueline Fulton of iheartradio.

RAMAPO - Two Ramapo police officers were hospitalized, one of them with serious injuries, following a crash involving an allegedly drunken driver.
It happened at around 3:30 a.m. Saturday. Officials say 21-year-old Iliana Negron, of Suffern, barreled down a Ramapo road and crashed into a squad car near where four officers were out on foot.
The impact sent the car flying into two of the officers. The victims have been identified as officers Lance Weinstein and Raymond Smith.
Officials say Weinstein has since been released, but Smith remains hospitalized with internal bleeding.
The Ramapo police chief says it marks the second apparent drunken driving accident to hurt an officer this week.
Negron is now facing DWI and vehicular assault charges and is being held on $50,000 bail.

Valentines Day is here and this month on Naked Oceans we reveal some of the unusual mating habits of ocean animals. How do they track down a mate in the enormous oceans? What happens if they are stuck firmly in place on the sea floor? And what does all this mean for our efforts to protect ocean life?
We find out what happens when the animals that build coral reefs take part in a huge, synchronised love-in. We call in on the Cayman Islands to discover how the spawning habits of many fish put them in grave danger of being overfished. And we find out how jellyfish make more jellyfish and whether these prolific beasties really are going to take over the oceans.
Plus, we find out from a gender-bending Critter of the Month what life is like being both a male then female.

Margaret Sanger and the Klan
Why would Sanger accept an invitation to address the Klan? Perhaps a more interesting question is why would the Klan want to hear her speak? Her Negro Project demonstrates why.
Sanger was always willing to give a forum to the most racist members of the eugenics movement in America. Perhaps she unintentionally revealed her ultimate goal regarding "unfit" blacks in a letter in 1939:
"[We propose to] hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. And we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
- Commenting on the 'Negro Project' in a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, December 10, 1939. – Sanger manuscripts, Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College.
To Sanger of course men and women were not fellow children of God but rather the fit, people like Sanger I suppose, and the unfit, those who did not meet Sanger's criteria to be considered fit.
Following World War 2, and the association of eugenics with the defeated Third Reich in the mind of the public, Sanger and Planned Parenthood did their best to hide her support for eugenics, as detailed by Stephen Mosher here. However, it is the philosophy of Sanger, that some humans are better off never off never having been born, which led to Planned Parenthood embracing the "solution" of abortion. Once we view innocent humans as a problem the end result will always be mass death.

Margaret Sanger is a sick human being. Unfortunately, her legacy lives on with Planned Parenthood.
As a fledgling investor- with actual hundreds of dollars invested- I have come to an irrevocable conclusion: never will I invest dime one in any stock whose executives came to Capitol Hill, tin cups in hands, between September 15 and December 24. In retrospect, largely an effort to cover over years of negligence and/or incompetence with federal dollars. So PP finds itself in similar bind. Along with the entire adult entertain- make that, filth peddler industry, as Larry Flynt has requested a $5 billion donation. PP has laid off 30 employees, cut back businesses. In part because a major donor, some Florida joint big in subsidizing pro-death projects, allowed House of Madoff to manage its funds. Poof there went House of Madoff following financial sector meltdown. Funny how the skeletons of the past show up when the dirt which buried it is washed away. Thus the saga of the Klanswomen and La Singer. May stick in minds of certain Congresspersons when their current acolytes arrive, tin cups in hands.
We can never remind people enough of this connection.
I guess you think extending this connection to Planned Parenthood sponsored politicians is a stretch?
God Bless,
Mr. DeFrancisis, I think it only fair to allow you to respond to Matt's comment if you wish. After that I would prefer it if both you and Matt could comment without attacking each other. The comboxes of many other blogs tend to get bogged down in combox feuds. I am not going to allow that to happen in my threads. This is a place to debate ideas not to attack personalities.
I'll respectfully pass…
I can not believe people here are going now this rabbit hole. DOn't you know the real crime is how Bush and others wanted to purify New Orleans in a ethnic way after Katrina and how this is all part of the Reagan famous Southenn game plan!!!
We should be discussing the racist dresses that will be in Obama's parade not this!!! (SARC)
Thank you Mr. DeFrancisis. Sanger's connection with outright racists and the eugenics movement is completely unknown to most people and you are correct that we cannot raise this enough.
I do wish this was examined more. Most Black Ministers I know are not pro-abortion but there is has been a curious lack of poltical action on this.
There is much attention given to have the Pro-life Catholic voice lost the battle in the 70's in the machine of Democrat politics. Little to no attention is given what the African American clergy and activist were doing.
I know that evangelicals had sort of odd attitude toward abortion. For instance the SOuthern Baptist Convention passed a vote basically supporting the right to privacy I believe as to abortion. It was not till ROE they got activated in a huge way and it took the Carter years to do that.. Is this a matter of perhaps African Americans Protestant Christians sort of sharing in the same Pre-Roe mindset?
A former fellow parishioner and lay theologian wrote a book on this:
Thank you Catholic Anarchist and Christopher for the book cites. I think we just have scratched the surface here of a very dirty story, and it needs more research. Sanger and Planned Parenthood did their best to sanatize her pre-war activities after World War II and I think there is still much documentation, especially in private correspondence, yet to come to light.

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
- What are VOCs?
- Where do VOCs come from?
- What are the health effects?
- Why are VOCs a problem inside buildings?
- How can you reduce the levels of VOCs inside a building?
- Is there anything that can be done about VOCs from new building materials or carpeting?
- How long do new building materials and carpeting give off VOCs?
- Should you test for VOCs?
- Where can I get more information?
What are VOCs?
"Volatile organic compound" or VOC is the name given to a substance that contains carbon and that evaporates (becomes a vapor) or "off-gases" at room temperature.
Some examples of VOCs include benzene, methylene chloride, hexane, toluene, trichloroethane, styrene, heptane, and perchloroethylene.
Where do VOCs come from?
VOCs are widely used in household and commercial products. Some cleansers, disinfectants, waxes, glues, cosmetics, dry cleaning products, paints, varnishes and preservatives include VOCs. Gasoline, kerosene and other fuels also contain VOCs. VOCs are also found in cigarette smoke and pesticides.
A number of building and household materials may be sources of VOCs. New carpeting, backing, and adhesives; draperies; wood products that use certain glues, finishes, and waxes in the manufacturing process; and vinyl type flooring and wall coverings may all release VOCs into the air.
What are the health effects?
The ability of VOCs to cause health effects varies greatly. As with other chemicals, the effects of VOC exposure depends on several factors including the type of VOC, the amount of VOC and the length of time a person is exposed.
Exposure to elevated levels of VOCs may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. Headaches, nausea, and nerve problems can also occur. Some people do not appear to have any kind of reaction to fairly "low" amounts of VOCs, while other people are fairly sensitive.
Studies of animals have shown that breathing some types of VOCs over a long period of time can increase the risk of getting cancer.
Why are VOCs a problem inside buildings?
Although VOCs can be found in both outdoor and indoor settings, the levels of VOCs found indoors can be much higher than those found outdoors. This is because a house or building that doesn't have enough ventilation does not allow potential indoor pollutants to escape.
Generally, the air outside naturally dilutes VOCs. Outside exposure to VOCs tends to be more common in urban settings from sources like bus or automobile exhaust. For more information about specific pollutants found in outside air in Vermont, contact the Department of Environmental Conservation, Air Pollution Control Division.
How can you reduce the levels of VOCs inside a building?
It is not likely that most of us can live, work, or go to school in an indoor setting that is completely free of VOCs. However, steps can be taken to reduce exposure to VOCs.
- Increase ventilation. In some cases, this can be done by opening the windows and doors to provide fresh air from the outside. Installing exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens and properly maintaining air filter systems will also help with air quality. Use products that contain VOCs outdoors whenever possible; use indoors only if the area is well-ventilated. Combustion fumes can also be a source of VOCs, so make sure furnace, chimneys and stove pipes are in good condition.
- Reduce your use of household chemicals. Consider using cleaning products that do not contain VOCs such as baking soda, vinegar or borax. If you have clothes dry-cleaned, air the clothes outside before bringing them into your home. Some interior paints are solvent-free or contain very low levels of VOCs.
- Buy only the amount you need. Consider purchasing products in smaller quantities or sharing with a friend or neighbor. This also reduces the need for storage.
- Read and follow the directions for use on the label. The maker of the product can supply you with an MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) which contains more information about safe use of the product. Keep products in original containers so that safety information is not lost. Do not mix household products, even for disposal, unless specified in directions.
- Store chemical products properly in an area not normally occupied by people, such as a garage or shed, and safely out of reach of children. Examples of these products include paints, pesticides and herbicides, glues, contact cement and solvents.
- Don't store containers in a closet or basement. Once a product has been opened and re-closed, vapors will escape and find their way into other areas of the house. Over a short period of time, these vapors are not likely to cause significant health problems for most people; however, vapors may cause reactions in some sensitive people. Exposure to vapors over a long period of time (months or years) may cause health problems for many people.
- Safely and legally discard unused chemical products at a hazardous materials collection site.
Is there anything that can be done about VOCs from new building materials or carpeting?
At one time it was believed that increasing heat and enclosing the area with no ventilation would "bake out" the VOCs. In fact, this proved unsuccessful and may actually have increased levels of VOCs.
For a building with a ventilation system (office or new school building, for example), running the ventilation system on full is recommended for at least one to two weeks. That means setting the system for 100 percent fresh air supply and 100 percent air exhaust. Keeping the system on full ventilation for a full month is even better. In private homes, running window fans for at least two to three days will help move the VOCs out of the house.
How long do new building materials and carpeting give off VOCs?
Depending on several factors, VOCs can be given off for days, weeks, months or even years. The following is a list of factors to be considered.
- how long ago the product was made
- how long it was stored or allowed to "off gas" at the warehouse
- how tightly the product was wrapped and how it was delivered
- the amount and type of ingredients in the product
- where the product is used in the building
- the amount of ventilation in the building
- the amount of moisture and the temperature of the air
Should you test for VOCs?
At the present time, there are no national or state standards that are specific for school, office, or home settings. In addition, there are many opinions in the science and medical communities about the degree of risk posed by various amounts of VOCs.
In the absence of standards for indoor settings like homes, testing for VOCs may not give you the information you seek. Rather than using your financial resources to test the air, you may first want to take steps to reduce levels in your home.
If you decide to test your home for VOCs, a list of companies can be found in the yellow pages of the telephone book. One place to look is "Environmental & Ecological Products and Services." Another heading, such as "Home & Building Inspection Services," may also provide resources for general indoor air issues. Prices are likely to vary among different companies.
There are standards for VOCs in industrial type settings. In the few times that VOSHA (Vermont Occupational and Safety Health Administration) has tested for VOCs in a school or office, they have rarely found VOCs above the VOSHA standard. VOSHA can become involved only in work settings where there is an employer-employee relationship. They do not conduct inspections or test in private homes.
Where can I get more information?
More information can be obtained from the product manufacturer, on the Internet, or through other organizations and agencies such as Consumer Product Safety Commission, National Environmental Health Association, Vermont Public Interest Research Group or the Vermont Lung Association.
In addition, magazines like Consumer Reports or Popular Mechanics may contain helpful articles. See our Indoor Air Quality Resource Guide for contact information.

Namely, that we treat those we objectify as less intelligent, yet simultaneously we endow them with a greater ability to feel things.
