Oil Sprayer for UTV for dust control?

[crashz]

Well everything that we know of comes from the earth. Some compounds take some significant processing. Uranium is naturally found in rock and soil. The AIDS virus is simply protein compounds. Both of these are things I want nothing to do with.

Keep in mind that the pollution in the 70's when the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts were signed into law, was committed by and affected a vastly smaller population. Like it or not, there are approximately 8 times as many people on the planet. Can you imagine what it it would be like today if we had no throttle on the pollution?

The environmentalists and alarmists are a great counter point to those who just don't care.

Sno - it was the Dioxins in that particular oil, not the oil in general. But I'm sure that they saw a tank of oil and assumed: oil is oil right?

Yea, you really can't blame the oil can you.

 

[crashz]

Nope - you can't. It was just a carrier for some bad stuff. And that's where a lot of danger lies. Harmless oil looks just like dangerous oil. Ever see oil from a transformer? Looks like hydraulic oil and has a mothball smell. Its durable as anything too. But it loaded with PCB's. Which are pretty bad for you.

For that matter, stay away from anything chlorinated. The older "good" brake cleaner is really bad. Worked great, but is absorbed directly to you bloodstream nearly as soon as it hits your skin.

For the record, I work in the haz waste remediation industry. I regularly work on sites that cannot be "naturally attenuated" and often see and smell some pretty nasty soils. And to put another perspective on it, I'm a safety conscious person and no longer work with my hands in the nasty stuff. Yet my blood levels of toxic metals have been elevated for a couple of years.

Wow..3 pages about an illegal ans highly dubious practice. I'm amazed.

Agreed.
At this point, for me to continue to argue something this obvious just pulls my I.Q. down to their level.
Unbelievable how thick headed some folks are.
But each to their own. (until they're caught).
Go ahead and pollute your own land.
Knock yourself out.....

In my neck of the woods, the County uses beet juice (from the thousands of tons of the sugar beet crop). It's very sticky. They also use salt water. Now the neat thing about the beet juice is that it sticks to everything under a vehicle, steel, lines, wires, cables, etc. Now the wires coated with it are very much appreciated by our local rabbit and squirrel populations. There have been quite a few news articles laughing about how the chewed wires can even prevent you fron starting the vehicles (especially P/U trucks. The wires are also made from a tasty organic vegetarian approved 'plastic'. So, the beet juice attracts the animal nation and the wires nutrify them !

Put gunpowder on the road. It will look just like fresh asphalt for a few days and a few speed bumps along the way will definitely stop the speeders.

Anyone take notice the original P.O. only made this post and ran. Think he did it on purpose. He's probably seating there laughing at all the posts. Gotta love it , stir the pot and run..

Yes, but it's winter and folks have cabin fever and are bored. Got to talk about something, and if someone responds a thread is formed! Subject is often times irrelevant, people just have to say something.

I have no problem with a little discussion, regardless of the OP's intent... as long as it doesn't get ugly. A few posts have started to move that way, but fortunately, no one has taken that bait and run with it.

I remember traveling the western U.S. as a child and all the Forest Service campgrounds had oil soaked gravel roads.

I remember similar things: unpaved county roads sprayed with oil to hold down the dust and slow the loss of the fines from the gravel.

Fortunately, we've learned a bit since I was a kid

Maybe you missed the part where natural bacteria and enzymes broke the oil down after a number of years. It's narratives with red herrings, like your example, that give environmentalist an ungrounded view of reality.

And maybe you missed the part about motor oil containing a bunch of other nasties. The example you cited for natural breakdown was a reference to crude oil. Red herrings eh? Post up some hard data that supports your suggestion that motor oil is non-hazardous.

With pleasure. See anything not natural in the ad pak? You do know what's in oil, right?

....and most times it's basically worthless blather....

No kidding.
And one should feel VERY foolish for having to actually argue with someone as to why we should not dump used motor oil on the ground.
Might as well find a stout hard wood tree and beat your head against it.....

 

[PILOON]

Hey, at one time they used salt for dust control and that worked.

Another environment thing I don't quite understand is that it is forbidden to bury concrete in landfill.(and asphalt)
(They claim it will leach into the water table.)
BUT
It is permissible to use crushed concrete as a substitute for crushed stone as a top dressing!

Silly....the lab analysis tests for wear metals commonly found in internal combustion engines and says nothing about toxicity. Like giving someone a math test to see how well they spell. Even more misleading is your lab results only represent wear metals in your engine for a defined period of time. Only a complete idiot would give any credence to your so called 菟roof that used motor oil is not hazardous.:laughing::laughing:

I put him on ignore long ago. No point in trying to reason with a fool.
