Basic Chemistry Gone Wild

[William McCormick]

This is yet another subject that you have to have some background in, before you can properly absorb and understand what is happening to our country and world.

I lived on Long Island, New York. And during the summer of 1990 or 1991 I was part of a team that lab packed and removed all the chemicals from local schools both public and private. At the time I did not know what they were up to. I assumed that they would just replace the rather old bottles of reagent chemicals with identical new ones. I was wrong to have assumed that. What took place was that ammonia which was all purchased from a company called Mallinckrodt Chemical company was never replaced. The formula on the older Mallinckrodt anhydrous ammonia was NO2, One nitrogen and two oxygen.

One of the other chemicals I removed was Mallinckrodt nitric acid that was labeled with the formula NO3 Or one nitrogen and three oxygen atoms.

One of the other chemicals was Mallinckrodt ammonium nitrate, it was marked NO5 one nitrogen and five oxygen atoms.

At this time late eighties early nineties, nitrous oxide was used in race cars, it was labeled NO4 and in my opinion it acted like NO4 not N2O as it is currently labeled.

You might be saying this is just too much. No country could be so wrong. However in my opinion you would be mistaken. We know that today water in the form of steam is used in the production of hydrocarbons. The hydrogen in water is stripped from the oxygen and used to create new hydrocarbons. If ammonia was NH3 as it is currently marked I am sure the oil people would have found a way to strip the hydrogen from nitrogen. Considering that at one time it was taught in American chemistry classes that nitrogen and hydrogen do not bond, I find it most impossible that ammonia is NH3.

During my HAZMAT training I was shown a training video of the explosive danger of ammonia. I had been told as a kid that on farms sometimes ammonia from animal urine and gases from feces have actually hurled animals a great distance. So I was kind of joking around about the whole video. The trainer smacked me on the back of the head, and said be quiet and watch you have never seen this before.

The video started explaining that a small anhydrous ammonia spill had occurred, and that the people making the safety film were going to use the spill, to show the proper procedures for cleaning up an anhydrous ammonia spill. They showed the use of protective suits, gloves, boots, Scott Packs (pressurized, self contained breathing apparatus) and the turtle re breathing equipment being used by the men on the team. A fork lift was parked in the spill. So one of the men climbed on the forklift to move the forklift. When he went to start the forklift, another man just standing in the room, was blown through a cinder block wall. The interesting thing was there was no loud explosion. It was as if the man was just magically pushed through the wall. The fellow on the forklift did not even know what happened. The fellow holding the camera did drop the camera but picked it right back up and did not miss a frame of the action. He panned around the room and filmed the turtle re breather stuck in the cinder block wall of the commercial building. My point is that the propane alone does not cause that kind of effect. Hydrogen alone also does not cause this kind of effect. Oxygen though would and could cause this kind of an effect with propane.

Obviously the procedure for cleaning up ammonia needed some changes. However these guys that made the video have trained the very best in military, police, fire fighting, EPA and private contractors. So it was rather hard for them to swallow this one that they had no idea of or about. Yet they could detonate just about any household chemical, using other household chemicals. They could make a bath towel, explosive with cleaning products. Make bombs with motor oil. Just about any accident you cold imagine they had a solution or could reproduce it. It was obvious to me that the world was getting dumb. If my farther knew this since he was a kid, certainly our education system was failing.

The more time I spent in this field the more I realized it was not getting better, rather it was getting out of hand. A few years after I did that lab pack, I realized what had happened, by then it was too late. Today you cannot even find an old Mallinckrodt bottle of Ammonia anywhere. Kind of spooky since everyone on Long Island was introduced to anhydrous ammonia from Mallinckrodt.

In some gas stations you may still find a nitrogen fire extinguisher. It kind of says it all. Nitrogen snuffs out a fire by not allowing oxygen to get to the heated material and support the burning process. So in the case of the nitrous oxide powering an automobile, there is no explanation of the incredible force created by the nitrous oxide, if it was N2O. Then consider that small leaks of nitrous oxide have mixed with vapor from a gasoline carburetor, and have blown the quarter panels off of the car with the leak, with high explosive force. Very unlike a leak of gasoline and standard air.

This is also a big subject, that goes on and on. So I will leave it at this point for now. You can browse it and see if any of it rings true to you.

Many younger people do not know that tar, asphalt has trace uranium in it. When the tar is still oily or somewhat pasty, the uranium is kept from oxidizing. And is barely radio active. When uranium oxidizes, the uranium can easily become ten times more radio active. It can even cause chemicals in close proximity to it to form other elements.

Something else that has been put on the do not talk about list, is asphalt, and asphalt with asbestos fiber reinforcement being used as a linoleum tile adhesive. It is still used today as a roofing material, but no longer used for flooring. The reason is that as the cement it is applied to, the cement that is mostly made up of oxides, chemically deteriorates the oils in the tar. The uranium in the tar, starts to oxidize, giving off what they call radon gas currently. Most older city buildings still have this asphalt, (tar and asbestos fiber) adhesive under the tiles. When you remove the tiles you can actually sense the radio active gas in the room. It is that potent. It is the long term exposure to it that causes people to become ill.

The subject is so taboo that city workers during Mayor Bloomberg's term in office were instructed not to use the word tar, and even went as far as instructing private contractors not to say tar to other city employees.

There have been incidents in the city where workers on the roof of a building using hot tar, allowed vapor from the hot equipment to enter in the economizer or fresh air make up or fresh air intake vents. Many, people had to be taken away to hospitals by ambulance, for nausea, dizziness and fainting. Imagine the law suits if they knew they were being exposed to a burning substance that contains radioactive material. Or that they have been sitting in rooms that have this substance right under their feet.

Apparently I was mistaken about the use of asphalt flooring adhesive, they are once again making and using asphalt flooring adhesive for use in buildings. I had a five gallon container in my hands the other day. I had it sent back to the distributor.
