Cannabis grows emit butane and biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) In this pilot study, scientists studied four cannabis grow facilities in Nevada and California to learn what chemicals were emitted during cultivation and processing of cannabis plants. In all four locations the scientists found high levels of strongly-scented airborne chemicals called biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). These are naturally produced by the cannabis plants during growth and rep

Inorganic nanoparticles can be produced via chemical or physical processes. Chemical synthesis involves using chemical reagents (e.g. sodium borohydride) to act as reducing and stabilizing agents, while physical methods use high external forces (e.g. temperature and pressure) to break down materials into nanoparticles. These methods produce toxic by-products that endanger living organisms and the environment. Further, the addition of precursor materials (e.g. polyvinyl alcoho

This report states that "many studies indicate that nanoparticles generally are more toxic when incorporated into the human body than larger particles of the same material. Experts are overwhelmingly of the opinion that the adverse effects of nanoparticles cannot be reliably predicted or derived from the known toxicity of the bulk material. The biggest concern is that free nanoparticles or nanotubes could be inhaled, absorbed through the skin or ingested." The study warns tha

Cannabis smell travels 1500 yards (approximately 1 mile) or more. The plants create a sunk-like or sewer-like odor. Despite the fact that the article title is about “overcoming” odor, neighbors complain about smelling it. City residents who live near grow sites say that this results in the loss of property value. Much of the article discusses how cannabis growers deal with air filtration at their facilities, mold control, the reason for odors, etc. Author: James Dunn Original
