<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Gasbags,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With regard to E.coli contamination of AD spent
supernatant, I have found that fully bio-reacted material from plants such as
the BioBowser have a zero E.coliform plate count as per laboratory
analysis.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used the Environmental Analysis Laboratory in
Lismore NSW for such tests who have also provided total elemental analysis for
the chemical content of previous batches of AD experiments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have also inadvertantly exposed broken and
cut skin of my hands and fingers many times to spent materials with no
infection or other adverse reaction occuring.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't usually submit myself to
guinea-pig experiments, but in this case I came out clean.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did of course, sometime after the
exposure, wash my hands, well before going home.</FONT></DIV>
