(Continued from page 1) lish advertisements in all area newspapers listing wastes not permitted at local landfill sites in the hope that it will be a deterrant. D‘Arcy Dutton, engineering commissioner, said locations allowing for the disposal of liquid wastes "are few and far between‘‘ and people have been putting flammable and toxic wastes in with their regular garbage. There exists the potential for explosions and fires at landâ€" fill sites when these wastes come in contact with the hot UW projects receive gov‘t grant money The first year of a threeâ€"year study received funds totalling $13,190 to study the metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH‘s), by soil microâ€"orâ€" ganisms. PAMH‘s are widely distributed and carâ€" cinogenic environmental pollutants resulting from the burning of coal and petroleum products. Since bugs in the soil may convert PAH‘s into more or less toxic products this study is relevant to soil quality, espeâ€" cially in agricultural areas. PAH‘s will be synthesized in the laboratory and the metabolic studies will be carried out jointly with Brock University in Kingston, Ont. Almost $165,000 of the total grant is for four new projects; the balance is for continuing projects. Two projects within the university‘s Computer Communications Network Group (CCNG), will reâ€" tive a total of $135,000. This research group works on e problems of combining computers and new comâ€" munications technology. The first CCNG project will study the automation of offices, including the use of electronic mail with the aim of finding out what tasks business and industry want automated so the manufacturers of the equipâ€" ment will know what to design and build. The second CCNG grant will be used to study local area communications networks among small comâ€" puter groups existing within various member indusâ€" tries of an industrial park, or among retail establishâ€" ments in a shopping plaza, or perhaps even among houses in a housing development. Two earth sciences professors have received $17,000 for the first year of a twoâ€"year study into the leaching of toxic materials from landfill sites. Chronicle Staff Writer Several University of Waterloo faculty members were recently awarded research grants totalling nearly $400,000. The grants, awarded by the federal government‘s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), will be used to research problems of naâ€" tional importance. In addition, other researchers have received further instaliments on previously announced grants. These include: â€" $19,665 for continuing research into the use of selenâ€" ium as a protection against the undesirable effects of heavy metals. $16.560 for continuing studies into the effect of &‘r)ethrin insecticides (used in agriculture) on fish ulations in nearby rivers and ponds. â€" $15,525 for research into chemical treatments to render PCB‘s harmless by removing chlorine atoms from the PCB molecules. â€" $15,525 for studies into the effects of certain polluâ€" tants on mammalian cells. â€" $15,525 for continuing research on cadmium toxâ€" icity. â€" $29,980 for an ongoing study of solar cells â€" $23,598 for continuing research into the production of fuel from plant materials. â€" $46,575 for research into processes that could result in cheaper extraction of oil from the Albert#far sands â€" $51,750 for research which could lead to the esâ€" tablishment of a zirconium refining industry in Canaâ€" da moderate rates choice of Private, Semiâ€" Private or Ward.

Dutton said pepple aren‘t going to ‘‘call a disposal comâ€" pany to come and haul away‘‘ a can of old paint. Residents should call the Region if they have liquid wastes jusst to make sure there won‘t be any problems, he said. "As long as we‘re aware of it, we can avoid any problems at the sites:‘‘ Dutton added. o Mayor Frank Lisso of North Dumfries Township said that if the Region won‘t supply locations for such wastes "we‘re going to find them along roads in the township.
