Bill, If what you and Phil say is true concerning what CACP was working on (a fuel additive) for India..the opportunity has probably gotten bigger and hopefully better!...now all you have to do is contact CACP and find out if they are still working with India and if they know about this new opportunity to market their product? Please see below for what I am talking about concerning the seriousness and the press that it is getting, not to mention the main CAUSE:Automobile fuel! Shawn India faces lead poisoning ''environmental crisis'' By Y.P. Rajesh BANGALORE, India, Feb 8 (Reuters) - More than half the children below age 12 in six leading Indian cities suffer from dangerous levels of lead in their blood, an independent study has found. ''About 51.40 percent of children below the age group of 12 years in six major cities combined have blood lead levels higher than 10 micrograms per decilitre,'' the findings of ''Project Lead-Free'' said. The study, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, was to be discussed at an international conference on lead poisoning that began on Monday in the southern city of Bangalore. It was conducted in New Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Bangalore and Hyderabad over two years and involved nearly 22,000 children, pregnant women and industrial workers. ''The findings of the study indicate that we have an environmental crisis in the making in India,'' said George Abraham, managing trustee of The George Foundation, which sponsored the study. Among the six cities, 54.10 percent of children below age 12 in India's capital, New Delhi, and 61.86 percent in the commercial capital, Bombay, were found to have blood lead levels higher than 10 micrograms per decilitre, the study said. In the southern cities of Madras and Bangalore 60.54 percent and 39.94 percent respectively of children below 12 had blood lead levels higher than 10 micrograms per decilitre. The figure for the eastern city of Calcutta was 55.78 percent. The report also said that 40.22 percent of people over age 12 in the six cities had blood lead levels higher than 10 micrograms per decilitre. The George Foundation said lead poisoning leads to permanent brain damage, particularly among young children. It said no level of lead in blood is safe or normal. ''Blood lead levels in children around 10 micrograms per decilitre are associated with disturbances in early physical and mental growth and in later intellectual functioning,'' the statement said. The World Health Organisation estimates that 15 to 18 million children in developing countries are suffering from permanent brain damage due to lead poisoning, it said. The statement also said the major sources of lead poisoning included AUTOMOBILE FUEL, lead-based paint, leaded cooking utensils and drinking water systems. The ''Project Lead-Free'' report said the study involved pre-school children, including toddlers, slum children, working children, school children in low and high economic groups, pregnant women and high-risk groups such as traffic policemen. 05:00 02-08-99

Bill, It looks like India is back in business...Maybe CACP can move forward!? World Bank Approves Loan for India By DONNA BRYSON NEW DELHI, India (AP) -- The World Bank has approved a $210 million loan for India, a sign that international relations were improving after the country angered the world by conducting nuclear tests last year. The loan, approved Thursday in Washington, was for a power project in southern Andhra Pradesh state. It was the first for anything other than humanitarian needs since the United States led the world in imposing anti-nuclear economic sanctions after India's underground nuclear explosions in May. ''Obviously it reflects a general thawing of the relations between India and the United States,'' said Subhash Agrawal, an analyst who advises potential foreign investors on politics and the economy in India. A U.S. administration official had said earlier this week Washington would drop objections that had blocked the World Bank loan. The official said on condition of anonymity that India was being rewarded for ensuring other countries were denied its nuclear expertise and moving to decrease production of weapons-grade material. Indian government officials were not available for comment. Washington also has been gradually easing sanctions on India's rival Pakistan, which responded to its neighbor's tests with nuclear tests of its own. Pakistan and India have fought two wars over the Himalayan state of Kashmir, which was divided between the two countries 51 years ago after British rule of the subcontinent ended. The two neighbors fought a third war over Bangladesh, or what was then East Pakistan. The international community fears that nuclear weapons could be used in a fourth conflict and has pressed the two countries to make peace. An India-Pakistan summit was scheduled for this weekend.
