Posted by ETISworld.com on Friday, February 22, 2013, In : Beginning Building Blocks 
If you were to contrast for example, leaving plastic bags lying on the ground that are not made of compostable materials, to, plastic bags that are made of compostable material, the non-compostable materials would still be lying on the ground for a much longer length of time, and can be quite an eye-sore.

Explain what Aggregration and Agglomeration of Nanoparticles is in Simple Terms. Why are Aggregration/Agglomeration Concerns; Why is it a Nanotoxicology Topic?

Posted by ETISfounder on Friday, August 24, 2012, In : Beginning Building Blocks 
'Road-hopping' refers to a wildfire literally hopping onto or across a road.  There are inaccurate notions that a fire will stop dead in its tracks if it does not have fire feeding elements to keep it going, such as trees, leaves, paper, etc.  The reality is, especially when a fire has become so hot and so intense, a fire can still spread and continue to grow, over areas that do not have the fire feeding food.  Other inaccurate notions are, roads and highways aren't going to be burnt by a for...

What this webpage is:

ETIS International Answers and Wiki fusion with links to products you can purchase related to entries

Note: Product purchasing links in older posts might become outdated and therefore unavailable

About This Blog

This blog is a fusion of 'Answers' and 'Wiki'.  Where appropriate, products available for purchase that match the topic are included in the answer or wiki.  We cut out the worthless clutter, cut to the chaste, and provide you with who, what, when, where, how, in crystallized form.

Sometimes an answer to a question asked in the 'answers' format or setting can be answered in the wiki format setting, and vice versa, sometimes they can be answered in both, or sometimes neither.  A combination of 'answers' and 'wiki' does the job best.  Why have 2 separate pages answering the same questions twice in redundancy, when you can have the answers wiki fusion?

Once you have your answers, why leave the webpage and start a whole new search looking for the product you want to buy, risk losing or confusing the information you gained in the myriad of other webpages out there, when you can have a few of the best product selections right there on the same page?

This is what we intend, strive, and hope to accomplish.

We will additionally at times, import material from other sites, blogs, and resources, and state to the utmost degree we can, its original source.
