A paper by Ozturk, Palsson, and Dressman (OPD), reporting a refinement of the MMSH model, did create some controversy. OPD developed a film model with reaction in spherical coordinates and applied quasi-steady-state assumptions to the boundary conditions at the solid surface [11], They theorized that the flux of all species at the solid surface must be zero, except for HA, or the other species (A-, H+, OH ) would penetrate the solid surface. A debate by correspondence in the Letters to the Editor columns of Pharmaceutical Research ensued [12,13], The reader is invited to evaluate which author s arguments are more convincing. What is difficult to evaluate is whether the OPD model produces dissolution results which are different from those which would be predicted using the MMSH model cast in comparable spherical geometry. Simply, these authors never graphically demonstrate how their model predictions compare to the MMSH model. Algebraically, the solutions to both models appear comparable. 

I m told that I have a personality that enables me to relate to a lot of different kinds of people. People seem to think of me as a good ambassador. In a strange way I m easygoing with a very intense core, and I m passionate about the polluted state of the world. When I get riled by anti-MCS articles, I usually get it out by writing critical letters to the editor.

The reason the product did not go down without a light, therefore, is not because chemical-using citizens could not manage their home environments without it, but instead because companies were defending their markets. It was not consumers that created controversy, but rather corporate entities and their allies. More than this, the conduits of consumer information and corporate advocacy for these products were many and subtle (letters to the editor for example), and did not simply take the form of direct advertising.
