CONT

Fluoroiodocarbons as halon Replacements... The authors have identified a small set of chemicals with outstanding physical properties, extinguishment abilities comparable to halons, low toxicity, clean evaporation, and low environmental impact. These chemicals appear to be prime candidates to replace Halon 1211 as streaming agents and Halon 1301 as total flooding agents for firefighting. These chemicals are in the class of fluoroiodocarbons (FICs). A FIC is a molecule that contains fluorine, iodine, and carbon; in some cases FICs also contain hydrogen. FICs have been shown to be highly effective fire extinguishing agents (in some cases, more effective than existing halons). Both neat FICs and blends of FICs with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) show great promise as high-efficiency halon replacements. [Paper from the International CFC and Halon Alternatives Conference, Washington, DC, Oct. 20-22, 1993]

OBS

fluoroiodocarbon: form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).

CONT

A flow forecasting system for the Niger river basin - contributing basin 1.2 million km2 - was funded by WMO. The network comprised 65 stations measuring river level and rainfall, linked by satellite to an international forecasting centre in Niamey and to national forecasting centres in each of the eight participating countries. Each of the stations also transmitted diagnostic data to facilitate preventative maintenance. The network was able to forecast flows up to 3 months in advance, making it a valuable tool for water management and agricultural production.
