Note: Silver = Ag, Lead
= Pb, Chromium = Cr, Cadmium
= Cd, Cobalt = Co, Mercury
= Hg Snowy Hydro is
currently conducting a trial of ground based cloud seeding using vaporised
silver salts. Please note that silver belongs to the 'transition' or
'heavy' metals group of elements denoted by the dark blue background
in the above periodic table. This group also contains the toxic
industrial pollutants mercury, cadmium, cobalt and lead (formerly
are petrol additive). Why
are the NSW authorities allowing the deliberate emission of the
heavy metal silver into the atmosphere when they are clamping down
on emission of all other heavy metals by all other industries? Would
you feel differently about this trial if they were vaporising
mercury salts and emitting them into the atmosphere? Would you go
any where near such project if you risked inhaling mercury vapour.
Silver is just as toxic as mercury! In
its solid form, in jewellery and cutlery etc, it is relatively
harmless but in aerosol form it is very harmful as it is taken
straight into the blood the stream. What
are the implications if this project is successful and is scaled up
so that silver emissions become widespread through the snowy
mountains? Is it moral to swap our water crisis for a heavy metal
crisis? Please contact the
