Dr. W.H. Harrison has returned from Taos and Picuris where he has been treating Indians for trachoma and will spend several weeks at St. Catherine's School for the same kind of work.

November 7, 1984: In 1980, a study by Monsanto and Auburn University sounded the alarm about woodstove emissions. Subsequent research by more than a dozen different laboratories has confirmed that "airtight" woodstoves emit larger amounts of carbon monoxide, particulates, and unburned hydrocarbons than do old-fashioned wood-burners. But the importance of the Monsanto team's discovery of significant amounts of "polycyclic organic matter," or POM, many of which are known carcinogens, in smoke is only beginning to be understood. And perhaps the least understood of the wood-burning-related pollution problems came to light with the discovery by Geomet Technologies team that many wood-stove-equipped homes have indoor levels of carbon monoxide, breathable particulates, and members of the POM family that are more than ten times greater than outdoor measurements taken at the same time.
