Ideal Bite

I was looking up the wrap-n-mat in today's tip and noticed that most of their wraps are lined with PVC. They claim PVC is safe for contact with food, but I don't want this potentially cancer causing material against my food! Their more environmentally friendly wrap is lined with PEVA. Does anybody know anything about PEVA and how safe it is?

According to this site: http://www.healthybuilding.net/pvc/SortingOutVinyls.html PEVA is a Polyethelyne compound primarily used in shower curtains and body bags.

Ha. Good to have body bag material to wrap my sandwiches with!

Every year i suffer for days even weeks after these types of events. Since I found the Pionair unit I now can rest assured that I will not have to endure the head aches and pain full chest pains from breathing these elements every 4th of July. The same neighborhood fireworks that may have people gasping with delight Wednesday probably also left some people gasping for fresh air. Pollution far exceeded healthy levels for a few hours from Georgia to California on the Independence Day evening. As you could tell by the smoke filled air as the colors gleemed high in to the air the quality changed in a matter of seconds. So many neighborhood's fireworks pumped so much smoke and heavy metals in the air Wednesday night, levels reached nearly 25 times the health standard for the fine-particle pollution called PM2.5 between 10 and 11 p.m. PM10, the measure for larger-sized fine-soot pollution, was about six times the federal health standard for an hour. And, following the Stadium of Fireworks at the LARGER venues July 4th celebration, the pollution could be monitored as far as 10 miles away making it seven times higher than the health standard for PM2.5 and more than double the standard for PM10. All the numbers are preliminary - officials will check the real-time monitors against an actual count of particles on their official air filters - Healthy Environment earlier this year, found the pollution spikes shocking. He noted that heavy metals used to make the fireworks displays and the smoke they leave behind can be harmful to people, even if their exposure is only short-term. These high pollution are "acutely deadly" and this has been noted that its harmful health effects can be seen within hours and can last for days. "This is a kind of celebration in defiance of public health,adding that high pollution "ought to be factored into how these events are handled." We should consider heart and lung patients and the parents of young children everyone should be cautious about exposure to fireworks smoke. Everyone should own a PIONAIR because it helps with these types of situations. www.pionair.net
