Clean for looks
vs. health: Why it matters
By JANICE STEWART
Vice president/owner, Castle Keepers Inc.
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
JULY
27, 2009 -- Cleaning is the science of controlling contaminants
and is one of the most basic ways we manage our environment. The
primary purpose of cleaning has been to protect human health, with
a secondary purpose to restore and maintain the appearance of valuable
property. Far too often, the objective of cleaning has been the
reverse: We have cleaned for appearance and failed to consider health
implications altogether.
Stewart |
This
approach has led to an illusion that surface cleaning is healthy
- that neat equals clean equals healthy. As a result, some people,
in an environment that appears to be neat and clean, still will
have adverse health reactions. In the modern building or home, their
responses may take the form of skin or eye irritation, difficulty
breathing, general malaise, or outright illness and infection.
How
clean is clean? There are degrees or levels of cleaning. Public
health specialists define three different levels of cleaning: Sterilization,
disinfection and sanitation.
A
sterile environment must be 100 percent free of contamination. The
state of sterilization can be achieved, but it is extremely difficult
to do so and is not normally done in routine cleaning.
Something
is disinfected if we remove or make safe the vast majority (95 percent)
of harmful substances in it. We eliminate the pathogens that are
most threatening to humans.
A
sanitary environment is cleaned to the point that it protects health
in general. A risk of disease exists, but it is at an acceptable
risk level for the majority of people. At minimum, cleaning must
always achieve a state of sanitation.
So,
what do we clean? Biopollutants are the most dangerous contaminants
found in the indoor environment. Keep them in your line of fire
so they do not get out of control. Because biopollutants have serious
health consequences, they require specific cleaning activities.
All
biopollutants are living organisms, or are derived from them, and
they come in many forms. Some produce severe to mild health effects
ranging from cancer, pneumonia, fever, asthma and rhinitis to membrane
irritation and headache. Some common biopollutants are bacteria
(E.Coli), fungi (aflatoxin), viruses (influenza), mammals (cats),
arthropods (dust mites) and green plants (ragweed).
For
biopollutants to cause problems indoors, they need reservoirs, such
as standing water or rotting matter, although a very dirty, neglected
carpet is also considered a reservoir. Nonliving biopollutants,
such as mite feces, come from organisms (a reservoir), but can exist
by themselves in a mattress. Biopollutants also must grow or increase
in concentration before they can harm people, and they have to be
disseminated - a way and a means to leave the reservoir and get
to the human receptor.
An
example of how a biopollutant works can be seen in a house cat.
Cats produce an antigen in their saliva that some people are allergic
to. The cat is the reservoir of the antigen. It licks its fur, and
the antigens begin to amplify, or concentrate, in the fur. When
the cat scratches its fur or rubs against a rug or chair, the antigen
is disseminated into the air where the human is exposed to it.
In
the outdoor environment, we have little control over biopollutants,
but indoors we can control their reservoirs and amplification by
controlling their sources with routine cleaning and preventive maintenance.
1)
Control the environment - moisture and temperature - so the organism
can't grow. For example, squeegee walls and doors of showers after
showering.
2)
Take away any foods so the microorganism will starve. For example,
vacuum carpets, floors and upholstery frequently with an ultra-filtered
vacuum that can catch particles up to 1 micron in size to remove
dirt, food crumbs and skin cells so mites and bacteria don't much
to eat.
3)
Keep any organism or other pollutant away from humans. Kill it,
remove it or contain it. An efficient, safe way to kill microorganisms
is to use a vapor machine that uses high-temperature vapor to
kill germs and insects and makes it easy to remove soil from surfaces.
Cleaning
for appearance is important because it protects valuables and provides
a sense of mental and social well-being. But appearance, no matter
how pleasing, is less important than the enhanced quality of life
that is achieved reducing human exposures to hazardous, allergenic,
disease-producing or toxic substances.

Conspiracy
theories get in way of the truth
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
For CharlestonCurrents.com
JULY
27, 2009 -- If something sounds too good to be true, there might
be a reason: it’s not true.
Brack |
But
some people, being people, will keep trying to believe in them despite
logic, facts and irrefutable evidence.
There are people, for example, who still believe there was a conspiracy
and cover-up in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Others think man never walked on the moon . Instead, they hold astronauts
really were filmed walking on a desert made to look like the moon.
These days, popular conspiracy theories hold that President Barack
Obama isn’t an American citizen (he is) or that global warming
doesn’t exist (it does).
So why do these myths, legends, theories and assertions flourish?
Two main reasons are the glut of information – some true, some
plain false – available through the Internet and the reality
of diminishing resources by our truth watchdogs, the traditional
media.
Two years ago, the St. Petersburg Times started PolitiFact.com
as a way to debunk erroneous information spouted by politicians
and the media, including bloggers and chain e-mailers.
“I felt the news media had not done enough to fact-check claims
in American politics,” said Bill Adair, Washington bureau chief
for the Times and editor of PolitiFact. “We were letting people
in politics get away with big falsehoods … and it was our job
to blow the whistle on that.”
Adair noted crackpot theories in American politics have always been
around, but that widespread use of the Internet has provided people
with a way to publish their claims to a world where other people
listen.
“Before
the Internet, a guy with a wacky theory didn’t have access
to that many people,” Adair said. “He could write letters
to the editor or call into radio stations. He didn’t have that
megaphone. Now he does.”
In the past, the media acted as a barrier and check on outlandish
rumors and theories. But now, those trying to stir the pot can bypass
the traditional media through misleading viral emails, blogs, Web
sites, social media and more. In essence, the traditional media
has been trumped as a filter. Now, Adair argues, the media need
to debunk false and misleading assertions as part of their job.
The problem? Media outlets have fewer resources to spend on correcting
the record. Hence the need for Politifact.com and a similar site,
FactCheck.org.
Just take the issue of global warming. Despite the fact that the
world’s top climate scientists from more than 130 nations agreed
in 2007 that “warming of the climate system is unequivocal”
due to man’s impact on the environment, there are scads of
people who just don’t believe it.
Former U.S. Sen. John Warner, R-Va., said he wouldn’t have
spent a good part of his last two years in the Senate pushing for
a climate change bill if it were not real. He pointed to the melting
of the Antarctic ice cap and the famine and drought of Somalia,
Darfur and other places in Africa as conditions that linked global
warming to our national security. [To learn more, see reports
by CNA.]
Nations in Africa, for example, are fragile sovereignties because
of stresses caused by climate change. “If those governments
topple, you have a situation where people flow in who often are
against the principles of freedom,” said Warner, who was in
South Carolina to highlight how global warming had security implications.
University of South Carolina Professor Greg Carbone said man was
expected to double the pre-Industrial Age amount of carbon dioxide
emissions into the atmosphere by 2050.
“For the climate to have no response to that would be extraordinary,”
he said while traveling with Warner. “The likelihood that there
would be no change at all is very unlikely by the year 2050.”
So when you hear someone say global warming doesn’t exist or
President Obama is really Kenyan, go to trusted news sources or
the library to find out the real deal. (Hint: You might want to
stay away from Wikipedia because its content can be modified by
anyone with a computer and Internet connection.)

Five
Dollars in Five Days project to help My Sister's House
My
Sister's House is asking people to spend five minutes online to
donate as little as $5 to help domestic violence victims in Berkeley,
Charleston and Dorchester counties live free from abuse. The Five
Dollars in Five Days campaign aims to attract enough donors to raise
$10,000 between July 27 and July 31. Donations will pay for needs
such as baby food, bus far, rent and car insurance for women who
have experienced domestic violence.
Donations
can be made at http://mysistershouse5dollars.bbnow.org.
"Domestic
violence touches all of our lives, whether or not we realize it,"
says Elmire Raven, executive director of My Sister's House. "Even
in this economy, a lot of people can spare at least $5. We're hoping
they'll give what they can and ask their friends and family to do
the same. We can all play a part in keeping victims
safe from abuse."
South
Carolina ranks second in the nation for number of women killed by
men, and seventh in the number of domestic violence incidents. Charleston
County consistently ranks highest in numbers of reported domestic
violence victims, and Berkeley and Dorchester counties rank in the
top 20.
My
Sister's House is the only organization in the tri-county area that
delivers shelter-based services, programs and resources to empower
domestic violence victims and their children to live free from abuse.

REVIEW
New
deli is a great addition to Mt. Pleasant
My
friend PJ and I had a terrific lunch last week at the new deli Mozzo
in the Food Lion Shopping Center on Coleman Boulevard in Mount Pleasant.
The space (formerly Schlotzky's) is fresh, sunny, bright and open.
There are so many creative sandwiches, salad and burger choices
that you need to allow a few extra minutes -- seriously -- to read
them all on the huge chalkboards over the counters and make up your
mind. We got different sandwiches then split them, so each of us
got to try two things. Our hands-down favorite was Dig The Fig --
a deliciously different sandwich with prosciutto, grilled onions,
Asiago cheese and fig preserves, served panini style on ciabatta.
It was top-notch. We also loved the Chicken Caprese -- marinated,
grilled chicken with a classic basil pesto, Asiago and sundried
tomatoes. Mozzo currently offers breakfast and lunch seven days
a week, and does catering as well. It's worth checking out.

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Palmetto
Pigeon Plant
While
serving as an infantry captain during World War I, the Sumter attorney
Wendell M. Levi set up the Pigeon Section of the U.S. Army Signal
Corps, having had experience raising homing pigeons as a hobby.
Harold Moïse, an air force pilot and a graduate civil engineer
with building expertise, shared Levi's interest in pigeons. In 1923
the two men founded the Palmetto Pigeon Plant on thirteen acres
of farmland in Sumter County and recruited state senator Davis Moïse
to be vice president of the firm.

Jr., at the Palmetto Pigeon Plant. (UNC Library photo) |
Palmetto's
original breeding stock came from the pigeons Levi raised for the
army. The plant gradually expanded to become America's largest squab
producer and the sole supplier of pigeons for use in medical and
dietary research. Squabs -- young pigeons that have not yet flown
-- are considered haute cuisine in many parts of the world. Farm-raised
or wild, pigeons were common fare in Carolina until fifty years
ago. Besides squabs, the Sumter plant also raised and processed
poussins (young chickens) and quail, and bought partridges, rabbits,
and additional squabs from growers around the state.
Palmetto
Pigeon Plant was operated by Levi and Moïse family members
until 1990, when Anthony Barwick, a Pineville native and recent
graduate in poultry science at Clemson University, became manager.
In 1997 Barwick purchased the Moïse family stock and became
president and CEO of the company. Wendell M. Levi, Jr., served as
secretary-treasurer.
A
$4 million business with sixty employees in 2002, Palmetto Pigeon
reached a level of production its founders could not have imagined.
The plant's 20,000 pairs of pigeons produced an average of 7,000
squabs a week. Also, 230,000 poussins and 80,000 black chickens
were shipped yearly to brokers in New Orleans, New York, Houston,
Dallas, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco and distributed
to restaurants, retailers, retail groceries, airlines, and cruise
ships. By the early twenty-first century consumers worldwide could
buy Palmetto poussins and squabs through the prestigious distributor
D'Artagnan.
