What’s So Great About Oakland, California? (Apart From Everything, Obviously).
Clean Water’s California office is located right in the heart of downtown Oakland—a city that even green-minded Europeans are talking about as a center for reducing carbon emissions associated with commerce.

The Horrors of Sulfur Dioxide
I imagine that reading about “Sulfur Dioxide” may, at first, sound about as interesting as reading through your old high school science homework, and nowhere nearly as interesting as say, a good Stephen King thriller. But what if I told you that Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) was even scarier than the books in your typical Horror section . . . and posed a far more realistic threat than vampires and haunted cars? Exposure to SO2— in even just a few minutes—can have significant impacts to human health, including aggravating asthma and other respiratory illnesses. It can even exacerbate existing heart
