Cheap Arsenic Removal
Here's the good news: a cheap and effective way to remove arsenic from drinking water.
The discovery of unexpected magnetic interactions between ultrasmall specks of rust is leading scientists at Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) to develop a revolutionary, low-cost technology for cleaning arsenic from drinking water. The technology holds promise for millions of people in India, Bangladesh and other developing countries where thousands of cases of arsenic poisoning each year are linked to poisoned wells.
Here's the snark: First he lost the election (sort of), then he fired Rumsfeld, now his plans to poison Americans has been thwarted. What more is going to go wrong for Bush?
