Erom time to time, advertisements appear in various health-related magazines for Essiac, for example, in the March/April 1995 issue of Natural Health, from ESSIAC International, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Tel 613-820-9311. Also, later on, in the August/September 2006 issue of the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, p. 71 www.essiac-canada.com, or POB 365, Lake Worth, FL 33460, 561-585-7111.

In Lake Worth and Lantana, about 1,600 people claimed Finnish descent in 2000. About 43% of this Finnish population was elderly. Forty-five percent of Finnish persons age five and over spoke Finnish at home, reflecting the fact this area is home to the world s second largest Finnish expatriate community. There are two Finnish cultural centers offering dances, concerts, and other Finnish activities, Finnish companies in almost every sector of the economy, three Finnish churches, two Finnish newspapers, a Finnish Consulate, and a Finnish nursing home (Fig. 102.14). Finlandia Week (http //www.finlandiadays.com), a celebration of Finnish culture, attracts thousands. 

This area of South Florida is also a unique American phenomenon for Finns. In 2000, about 623,000 Americans claimed Finnish ancestry. All communities which are 5% Finnish or more (except Lake Worth and Lantana) are north of Cleveland and most are on Michigan s Mackinaw Peninsula or in northern Wisconsin (www.epodunk.com/ancestry). 

If examined at the state or county level, one could think of this retirement community as an enclave. But Finns appear to be well dispersed within the Lake Worth and Lantana area and could thus be viewed as a dispersal according to the Boal model introduced above.

Because of the tendency of HCs to associate with particles, suspended sediment is likely to be the vehicle for the vast majority of the transport of HCs. Once the sediment settles out of flow and settles to the floor of the receiving water body, it can represent a threat to the ecological community. Benzo[a]pyrene, for example, was not detected in any of 100 storm-event samples in residential sites in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and was detected in less than 5% of samples from commercial and industrial sites (Raines et al., 1997). Yet concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene have increased 20-fold in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, coincident with urban development, based on an age-dated sediment core from White Rock Lake in Dallas (Van Metre et al., 2000). 

These acid rains caused the water of the lakes in Scotland to have pHs of 2.4 in the 1970s, that is an acidity similar to that of vinegar. A fifth of the Swedish lakes have lost a large portion of their fish, in particular trout which cannot survive in pHs lower than 5. The agricultural damage, the corrosion of the metals of buildings, the harmful effects on the respiratory systems must also be attributed to sulphur pollution. Thus the annual cost of the corrosion by acid rains in the USA has been estimated to be worth lO l US dollars.

The actual rate of volatilization of plasticizers from water apparently has not been experimentally measured. The rates of volatilization, however, estimated using the Sonth-worth Method to estimate gas-phase and liqnid-phase mass transfer coefficients, were reported in HSDB, and summarized in Table 18.10. VolatiUzation was estimated nnder two scenarios (Figure 18.1) a shallow (1-m deep) river moving at a rate of 1 m/sec below an air mass moving at 3 m/sec. The second scenario was a shallow (1-m deep) lake moving at 0.05 m/sec below a breeze of 0.5 m/sec. The estimated volatilization half-lives of the plasticizers followed the trend established by their Heniy Law constants. Consequently, the predicted half-lives of ditridecyl phthalate, di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, di-(2-ethylhexyl) azelate, diundecyl, diisooctyl, dihexyl, dinonyl phthalate were less than 6 days. The same plasticizers would likely be more persistent in the lake scenario. The volatilization rates of the other plasticizers appeared to be much slower, and volatilization from water may not be a significant environmental pathway. Furthermore, the Southworth estimation technique does not take into acconnt sorption of dissolved chemicals by suspended particles. Sorption would increase the residence time of dissolved plasticizers. The predicted volatilization rates, however, were based on Hemy s Law constants which are themselves only estimates.
