Women plan South Pole expedition
SAN FRANCISCO — The first all-woman team to strike out for the South Pole hopes to return from the stark polar laboratory with valuable data on how women react to extreme cold and monotony.
The Associated Press
"For us, it's not just a s趴 rally. We are trying to complete a science project." Soviet expedition member Iriane Gurea said Monday "We've got to do some science in the South Pole and, alongside men, can carry out scientific research."
"The cold and wind will be something to contend with. The altitude is something we're not sure of," said Julie Hye, an Outward Bound instructor in Ely, Minn. "That's the kind of thing that makes me most interested in a vast whitest heaven is something I've never experienced before."
The expedition of three Americans, one Japanese and 12 Soviets is scheduled to reach Antarctica on Nov. 23 to begin the 70-day, 800-mile trek on skis from the Soviet scientific station at Vostok to the South Pole.
Along the way, scientists will gather data on the women's medical, biological and psychological reactions.
Some scientists have argued that previous cold weather research on men should stand for women, but the notion of its researchers aren't convinced.
"We don't know that there is a difference. But how can you say there are no differences unless you've looked?" said Dolly Lefever, a nurse from Alaska who studies women in the women's menstrual cycles.
Studies by the Soviet scientists will be of greater scope. A team of doctors will test blood and other
bodily fluids to determine how a woman's metabolism is affected by the extreme cold and physically demanding conditions.
A psychologist also will monitor how the women handle isolation and interact with other team members
The expedition should present fewer surprises for some of the Soviet members who participated in a 1988-89 Antarctic expedition
"After returning to Moscow, we could not accept external disturbances. We became more sensitive to the noise, loud voices, cars." Gureva said.
Such research could give insight into other situations where people live in closed, isolated quarters for students, such as in space and in submarines.
"The expedition allows us to study the human stress factor in real circumstances," said Iriana Solvova, a
Some of the participants said that the length and dangers of the journey caused some stress in their families
Besides the scientific goals, the women also hope to bring attention to next year's International Antarctica Treaty signing, which will determine if the continent will remain a world park.
Soviet psychologist and cosmonaut.
Gurea said her 10-year-old daughter was at first upet by the separation but became enthusiastic about the events and stories about it in the Soviet press.
"We are hoping that Antarctica will remain as it is, not belonging to anyone. We hope that mining exploration there can be kept at a level that will keep Antarctica pristine," Hyde said.
"I think it's useful for a child when their parents can fulfill something great in their life." Gureva said.
Benzene found in juice-flavored water
The Associated Press
FREMONT, Calif. — Popular juice-flavored mineral water made by Koala Springs International was pulled from shelves across the country yesterday after tests found traces of a cancer-causing substance.
The Australian company recalled hundreds of thousands of bottles and cans of the drink after the Florida Health Department found samples with 11 to 18 parts per billion of the substance benzene.
That level of benzene does not pose a significant health risk and may be similar to levels found naturally in fruit or fruit drinks, but it exceeds the part per billion maximum for drinking water (and law, said Richard Hunter. Florida's assistant health officer for environmental health.
The discovery brought a warning from the health department to local stores and a quick response from Koala Springs, which had no firm estimate of how many containers of the drink were recalled.
For Koala Springs marketed its product as a juice drink, the company would be subject to less stringent but higher requirements in Florida, Hunter said.
"The problem is that they're holding it on their label as a bottled water, and under Florida law, bottled water has to meet drinking water criteria." Hauer said. "So because it is marketed as a bottled drink or without fruit juice added, then the have to meet the same standards."
The company isn't sure whether the benzene came naturally from the
juice concentrate shipped from Australia or got into the drink during the bottling process in the United States. To head off problems and protect Koola Springs quickly halted product delivery, the dealer the drink from store shelves.
"We are taking this action willingly and voluntarily to protect our product and its good name," said company manager Jerry Bates, who at its U.S. headquarters in Fremont
Hunter said the level of benzene allowed for water in Florida is based on the assumption that people would drink two liters a day for a 70-year period. The standard is set at a level that officials believe would not result in extra cases of cancer in a million people if they drink that amount
"Clearly, Koala Springs is not the only source of water for people so!
think there is not a significant health risk for people," he said.
Koala, featuring such exotic combinations as raspberry-guava and orange-mango, is widely distributed in the United States and eastern Canada, with sales especially strong in the western United States.
In 1989, the privately-held company recorded $150 million in worldwide sales, with $60 million of that total in the United States.
Koala has 2.5 percent of the U.S. sparking water market and 23 percent of the U.S. market for juiced mineral water, Chatham said.
Koala ships the juice concentrate from Australia in plastic containers, but its U.S. bottlers, in Stockton, and Columbus, Ohio, provide the water.
