The ozone season runs from
April until October. DEP issues
Ozone Action Alerts when levels
become high enough to be harm
ful in urban areas, encouraging
people with pulmonary prob
lems such as asthma and em
physema to stay inside.
According to Ferdinand,
Penn State’s new monitoring
station located at the future
site of the Arboretum at Penn
State is the first real-time
ozone monitoring system in
State College.

where 10-12 pesticide sprays are
usually required to get a no
worm com crop. “In 1999, we
grew 1,000 acres of Bt com in
1999 with no spray,” he said.
But the monarch butterfly study
at Cornell is a hot-button topic
with consumers, and the un
known fall-out from the contro
versial subject with consumers
does not justify the risk of pro
ducing GMO varieties in 2000
while conventional pest control
measures are available.
Mark Mason, Bt sweet com
product manager for Novartis,
which sells Attribute (Bt) com,
presented convincing numbers
on the GMO’s efficacy. “Con
sumers are not very well in
formed,” he said. “Fears are
more easily communicated than
the facts.” Novartis will con
tinue to study effective insect
management strategies, includ
ing the use of GMOs.

the Department of Plant Agri
culture at the University of
Guelph, spoke about the impact
of biotechnology on the market
ing of agricultural crops. There
are two opposing visions, she
said. “On the one hand, industry
proponents foresee a bright and
boundless future, once con
sumers come to their senses. On
the other, the international
banking community, food in
dustry, other governments and
the Rockefeller Foundation
foresee a much diminished
future because consumer con
cerns are here to stay.” Her con
cern is that “farmers are being
misled into believing that genu
ine concerns about ecological
and food safety risks of
transgenic crops are just trade
barriers and hysteria.’’
Her advice? “This is not the
year to grow GM crops,” she
said. “This is a technology that
has been brought prematurely to
market.”
