Hello,
Dr. Metcalf  continues to mentor Tom Carter, Director of Aqua Pura Para El
Pueblo, a group that also works internationally teaching basic water
quality testing for coliforms and distributes simple pasteurization
indicators made from a wax that melts at 65 C.
These indicators have the potential to save much fuel for those folks that
are currently boiling water to ensure having reached adequate temperature
for pasteurization.
Kind regards,
Jeff  Holiman
