IERNA's Heating & Cooling has become a drop off location for "Support Our Troops, Inc".

This organization collects the much needed items like snacks, deodorant, feminine hygiene

products, old DVD's, batteries and more from the generous folks here in Tampa Bay Area

and sends them to our troops over seas in Afganistan, Iraq, Kuwait and the Kyrgyz Republic.

Some American Troops are stationed in places where the nearest convenience store is at least

40 minutes away, and requires a combat convoy to just make the trip. Some troops are as far

as 1,200 miles away from a store.

 

It’s easy for us here in the States to fulfill our wants and needs even when we think, “I could sure

use a cup of coffee”, or “I just ran out of deodorant”. That is a great freedom that we have here,

but those fighting to protect our freedom do not enjoy this convenience, as you can imagine.

We understand that being in the armed forces requires sacrifice, but in sending some hospitality

from back home to those deployed, we can give much more than just a “thank you”.

 

We are asking for 1-Gallon Ziploc Bags filled with:

– Candy

– Snacks

– Crackers

– Cookies

– Pretzels

– Peanuts

– Notes

– DVD's (New or Used)

–CD's (New or Used)

– Batteries

Toiletry Items (Packaged Sepeartly from Food)

– Deodorant

– Razors

– Feminie Hygenie Products

– Shampoo

– Q-Tips

 

ALSO:

– School Supplies

– Small Toys

 

These are the types of items that our troops are requesting and cannot get with out our help.

Imagine being so far away from home and receiving a little care package with the items above.

It makes all the difference in the world to these Men and Women who sacrifice daily in desolate

areas so we can can have these same items at our own personal disposal with ease.

 

We thank you for your time and look forward to seeing at out office located at:

19121 US Highway 41 North, Lutz FL 33549 or call us for directions at 813-948-6355.

Corrosion in Homes and Connections to Chinese Drywall
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

November 23, 2009 - Results from a major indoor air study of 51 homes are being released
today along with initial reports from two studies of corrosion in homes with Chinese drywall.
We now can show a strong association between homes with the problem drywall and the
levels of hydrogen sulfide in those homes and corrosion of metals in those homes.
By identifying this association, the Interagency Drywall Task Force can now move
forward to develop protocols that will identify homes with this corrosive environment
and can determine the effectiveness of remediation methods. The Task Force continues to
work with Congressional and White House officials to determine the best approaches to
design and fund these identification and remediation efforts to help the families dealing
with this issue.

“We now have the science that enables the Task Force to move ahead to the next phase –
to develop both a screening process and effective remediation methods. Ongoing studies
will examine health and safety effects, but we are now ready to get to work fixing this
problem,” said U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairman Inez Tenenbaum.

The Studies
The 51 home study contracted by CPSC was done by Environmental Health &
Engineering (EH&E), an internationally known environmental testing firm based in
Massachusetts. In addition, today two preliminary reports on corrosion safety issues
are being released. The Sandia National Laboratories’ (SNL) Materials and Engineering
Center is studying the long-term electrical safety hazards of conductor metal components.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is studying the corrosion effects
on fire safety components taken from complaint homes.

Findings
EH&E compared 41 “complaint” homes in five states selected from CPSC’s consumer
incident report database, with 10 noncomplaint homes built around the same time in the
same area as the complaint homes. Homes were sampled between July and September
2009.

The EH&E findings are that hydrogen sulfide gas is the essential component that causes
copper and silver sulfide corrosion found in the complaint homes. Other factors,
including air exchange rates, formaldehyde and other air contaminants contribute to the
reported problems.

In ways still to be determined, hydrogen sulfide gas is being created in homes built with
Chinese drywall. Earlier studies found large amounts of elemental sulfur in the Chinese
drywall. CPSC is investigating drywall from other sources that may mimic the problems
found with Chinese drywall. CPSC is meeting with drywall manufacturers and others
who are studying this issue to take their findings into consideration.

EH&E exposed copper and silver test strips, known as coupons, in homes for a period of
about two weeks. The coupons showed significantly higher rates of corrosion in
complaint homes than in the control homes. The dominant species of corrosion on the
coupons was copper sulfide and silver sulfide, as determined by additional laboratory
tests. Visual inspection and evaluation of ground wire corrosion also revealed
statistically significant greater ground wire corrosion in complaint homes compared to
non-complaint homes.

The EH&E study also found that by using hand-held x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) instruments, they were able to detect markers that
could identify Chinese-made dry wall at a sheet-by-sheet level.

While drywall-related corrosion is clearly evident, long term safety effects are still under
investigation. Like the EH&E study, initial reports available today from SNL and NIST
show copper and silver sulfide corrosion on samples of metal taken from homes with
problem drywall. These ongoing investigations will help the CPSC identify the nexus of
problem drywall and long term safety issues.

In addition, the EH&E study found elevated formaldehyde readings in both the control
and complaint homes. This is typical for new, more air-tight homes due to items such as
cabinets and carpets which emit formaldehyde. Both formaldehyde and hydrogen sulfide
are known irritants at sufficiently high levels. The concentrations measured in this study
were below those levels. Investigators believe that the additive or synergistic effects of
these and other compounds in the subject homes could cause irritant effects evident in the
homes.

Next Steps
First, CPSC continues to search for homes exhibiting the corrosion and health effects
under study. In addition to a direct call to consumers, CPSC is contacting governors of all
states, all territories and the District of Columbia, to ensure that all homes with these
problems have been reported to CPSC.

Second, the Interagency Task Force established an Identification and Remediation
Protocol Team of scientists and engineers. This Team will use the results of the EH&E
study and other information to design a cost-effective screening protocol to identify
homes with this problem. Professional air sample testing, and destructive testing of
drywall can carry high costs. The Protocol Team will develop quick, cost-efficient
evaluation methods to identify homes with these problems. The Protocol Team will also
look at remediation protocols, to see what cost-efficiency improvements to current
remediation practices, if any, may be available, and what guidance should be issued on
doing the work safely.

Third, investigations currently underway by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories, SNL and
NIST and others will continue toward identifying additional information on any possible
long-term health and safety issues.

The Identification and Remediation Protocol Team will use information from the EH&E
study and other information to begin evaluating remediation protocols. Homes that have
undergone remediation are expected to yield valuable information that will be helpful for
homeowners.

The Interagency Task Force is actively talking to Congressional and White House
officials about the best approaches to design and fund both the Identification and
Remediation efforts.

Other Ongoing Efforts
The Interagency Task Force, working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, is
monitoring imports of possible Chinese drywall. We believe that no new Chinese drywall
has entered the United States in 2009. Owners of known U.S. inventories of Chinese
drywall have been notified of this ongoing investigation. They have indicated that the
drywall boards will not be sold. Further, CPSC has secured the cooperation of the
Chinese Government to help identify the sources and causes of this problem.
CPSC is working with an ASTM committee that has just initiated discussions on the
formulation of a proposed new standard on inspection of drywall for air quality issues.
Recommendations to Affected Homeowners

To date, CPSC has received more than 2000 reports from 32 states, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico from consumers and homeowners concerned about problem
drywall in their homes.

Homeowners who believe they may have problem drywall should immediately report to
CPSC by calling 800-638-2772 or logging on to www.CPSC.gov. Hearing- or speechchallenged
individuals may access the phone number through TTY by calling the toll-free
Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339.

Federal and state health experts suggest these steps to improve indoor air quality and to
reduce exposure to substances that can cause health concerns:

o Open windows as much as possible to let in fresh air.
o Keep the temperature inside homes at the lowest comfortable setting.
o Run the air conditioner or dehumidifier.
o Also, spend as much time outdoors in fresh air as possible.
o Do not smoke, and especially do not smoke indoors. Cigarette smoke contains,
among other contaminants, formaldehyde.

FIRST 100 KIDS GET A TOOTS BACK TO
SCHOOL GOODIE BAG

Young Remington Walls was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis in October of 2004 at age 4. Since then he has not been able to eat or drink anything other than Water and a specially formulated drink for his nourishment.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis is a disease that deteriorates the tissue in the digestive tract thus robbing the patient of the ability to eat foods. That's right no more chicken nuggets, pizza, hotdogs, ice cream or any of those wonderful treats every child enjoys. He has one flavor (Pineapple) of the specially formulated drink that he must consume 8-9 times a day to maintain a healthy weight. Many patients diagnosed with this terrible and rare disease are tube fed. Remington and his family must travel from Land O' Lakes, FL to Cincinnati Children's Hospital several times a year for biopsies on his esophagus to determine if a feeding tube is yet needed.

Despite of all that this now 9 year old child has gone through and continues to endure, he has maintained a very healthy and positive outlook. He is an outstanding baseball player (Land O Lakes Little League), enjoys playing outside with his friends and has found a true talent and passion for art.

Remington's parents, Mike and Stephanie Walls are committed to making a difference in finding a cure for Eosinophilic Esophagitis. They have put together the Annual Remington Walls Golf Tournament. With the help of the Walls family, friends and local businesses like IERNA's Heating & Cooling, they are raising money that goes directly to APFED (American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders), a not for profit organization that gives all proceeds from fundraising to support APFED's Mission of Education, Awareness and Research of Eosinophilic Disorders.

APFED strives to:
Create a credible source of information for physicians and patients.
Reach out, find and support those who feel alone with their pain (patients and families).
Unite the physician and patient communities in an effort to empower both sides with a better understanding of one another Teach the general public to understand what "eosinophilic" means to affected families.
Promote and support research into the cause and cure of eosinophilic disorders
Currently there are no known cures for Eosinophilic Esophagitis.

Rob Kress, Director of Marketing and Public Relations stated - "This is the 4th year we have been involved in this amazing event. The Walls family are a very special group of people who give so much and ask for nothing in return. Even though the costs for care for Remington are extremely high, they keep none of the money they raise for themselves. They give all proceeds directly to APFED to help find the cure that can one day hopefully free their son of this terrible disease and help the many others that suffer as well. They are truly selfless people. IERNA's is proud to have been involved with the Remington Walls Golf Tournament and will continue to be involved as long as it takes to find a cure.” The Walls family has raised over $75,000 on behalf of APFED in honor of their son, Remington, and in hope of making a difference in finding a cure. “We are honored that Ierna’s shares in our commitment in making a difference. Our community is blessed to have such a supportive business,” says Stephanie Walls.
