<br />1 words, erosion, again, even in the long-term, the highest is <br /> <br />2 medium; and it might increase some soil erosion beneath the <br /> <br />3 snowdrifts in the alpine tundra. And.that's what they were <br /> <br />4 classifying as a medium; otherwise, we estimate that there <br /> <br />5 will be low or no effect of the increase. <br /> <br />8 I would like to point out one thing also, if I <br /> <br />1 could right here. All of these effects are on the basis of <br /> <br />8 15 to 20 per cent augmentation, not three to five, in other <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />words, a factor of some five times greater than what is being <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />I <br />proposed here'; and I think that you can see the significance <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />of that very quickly. <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br />Q <br /> <br />would you explain, please, the difference between <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />silver and silver iodide? <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />Well, in biological systems we find that heavy <br /> <br />IS <br /> <br />metals many times, such as mercury, are quite poisonous, quite <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />toxic. silver is considered.a heavy metal. Therefore, it is <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br />silver that we were checking for. <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />When you put silver iodide into the system, it <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />will eventually decompose .and oftentimes become metal silver; <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />and we were trying to see if the silver would have any effect <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />on the organisms, and we found none. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Q <br /> <br />Now, Dr. Owen, you, of course, are familiar, are <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />you not, with the proposed project as explained by Mr. Hjerm- <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />stad? <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />A Yes. <br /> <br />_&1_ <br />
