The following message was sent by Dr. Qadir: -----Original Message----- From: Dr Noman Fazal Qadir <get@paknet2.ptc.pk> To: lynnlandes@zerowasteamerica.org <lynnlandes@zerowasteamerica.org> Cc: nfqadir@mailcity.com <nfqadir@mailcity.com> Date: Friday, September 11, 1998 2:18 AM Subject: Help Wanted Sir, We being an Environmental group are trying to improve the existing levels of pollution in air and ground water. There are a number of issues including the compliance of NEQS from industry, municipal waste management planning, and reducing the levels of pollution discharging to ground water. We feel to ask help from international organizations like yours to come and help us in improving the Environmental Scenario locally, regionally and globally. We are working on oil outlets like garages / service stations to clean up / treat water before discharging it to municipal outlets. The existing tests show high amount of BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, OIL & GREASE, PHENOL, LEAD, ZINC & IRON. We would like to get feedback from your organization in terms of suitable, effective, economical technology to convince service stations to adopt and reduce the existing ground water quality and hence large scale health problems. I hope to receive information from your side in your earliest convenience. Regards Noman F Qadir Ph.D. _____________________________ Dear Dr. Qadir: Our suggestion would be that your country, like all others, needs to move away from petroleum products and petroleum fueled vehicles to solar power and other cleaner sources of energy. ZWA provides a general blueprint on how to achieve Zero Waste and avoid waste and pollution. Since your question is detailed, I have sent your message to the ZWA Network and other experts who may have other suggestions to offer you. You may also want to check out the information on the ZWA Remediation page: http://www.zerowasteamerica.org/Remediation.htm Thank you for contacting ZWA.
