No, the lithium battery does not require special handling or disposal, but we request that you return old units to us for recycling. Contact Us to return old KOMeter? units.

KOMeter? may be mounted anywhere the pilot desires, but within sight and reach. It is recommended that KOMeter? be mounted near the throttle or engine instruments as they are in the pilot's scan. Since KOMeter? has a clock, some pilots may prefer to mount KOMeter? on the left side of the instrument panel.

While the existence of toxic molds in the environment has been documented for centuries, due to modern construction practices, poor quality control and a lack of proper maintenance, they are now linked to illnesses and other medical disorders that are affecting the lives of families across the continent. Most of the attention regarding toxic molds has been focused on the compromised health and shattered lives of the home's occupants along with the inevitable litigation that follows.

Yearly (and/or 100 hour) inspections should include a check of the sensor access hole for cleanliness. Also check that the right-most decimal point LED (Light Emitting Diode) is OFF. If the right-most decimal point LED is ON, the unit should be replaced. Contact Us for service.

Batteries are a source of failure. Batteries must be replaced. Batteries corrode. Batteries get forgotten. (Batteries are bad!) So we chose to power KOMeter? using the aircraft power. Also, brighter LEDs are for a daylight readable display.

Yes, it has a 10 year life sealed lithium battery to power the clock. (And we know "Batteries are a source of failure. Batteries must be replaced. Batteries corrode. Batteries get forgotten. (Batteries are bad!)", but there was no alternative, we didn't want you to have to set the clock on every power-on cycle or have it blinking 1200 or take the chance of running down the aircraft battery.

Yes, but it is not serviceable by the user. The fuse provides protection from mis-wiring. Should the unit fail to power on, Contact Us for service.

KOMeter? came from a play on CO Meter or CO Monitor, also KO means "Knock Out" in boxing (Not a good thing for pilots!).

None, since KOMeter? is not a permanently installed item or a substantial modification to the aircraft effecting the aircraft performance. No FAA paperwork is required. An entry and Annual/100 hour checks should be made in the Aircraft Logbook.

Yes, however, I wouldn't advise ingestion. It can be dangerous to ingest just as your normal shampoo is, or toothpaste, or 100 gallons of soda pop. But overall it is pretty safe except for the severe diarrhea accompanied by ingestion.

According to Chemistry International Vol 23, No.6 November 2001 - "Heavy Metals" - A Meaningless Term Over the past two decades, the term "heavy metals" has been used increasingly in various publications and in legislation related to chemical hazards and the safe use of chemicals. It is often used as a group name for metals and semimetals (metalloids) that have been associated with contamination and potential toxicity or ecotoxicity.

A.- Aspirin tablets are 20 times more toxic than the equivalent amount of Laetrile. Laetrile is even less toxic than sugar. But like aspirin or sugar, you can't take 20 tablets or eat 1/2 lb. at one time. It would make you quite sick, probably requiring a stomach pump.

The TSCA (15 U.S.C. s/s 2601 et seq.), enacted by Congress in 1976, gives the Environmental Protection Agency the ability to track industrial chemicals currently produced or imported into the United States. The EPA screens these chemicals and can require reporting, testing or banning of those that may pose an environmental or human-health hazard.

A substance is toxic if sufficient exposure can cause death. For example, 1000 parts per million (ppm) CO concentration will cause unconsciousness after 1 hour.

Kombucha Tea can become toxic if it becomes contaminated by pathogenic moulds or bacteria, such as C. botulism. However, these organisms will not grow in an acidic medium below pH 4.

There are many plants and foods that are toxic to dogs when ingested. You should always pay attention to what your dog is eating. Your dogs reaction to ingesting poisonous and toxic items will vary according to your dog’s sensitivities, amount ingested, and the specific item ingested.

The Toxic Craving Cycle is my term for the way that toxic and addictive substances reinforce each other and create a vicious cycle of sickness and addiction. The Toxic Craving Cycle is all around us and helps to explain the prevalence of sickness, addiction, conflict, and violence.

There are some house plants more toxic than others. We believe that the best way to know is to maintain the name of the plant that you purchased attached on the outside of the vase. Please check this list before you bring your kitty to the hospital www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/ .
