Air Dynamics Targets Wasted Plant Heat to Cut Manufacturer Energy Costs

York, Pa. – September 10, 2026 -- Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation is pushing manufacturers to recover energy already generated inside their facilities rather than purchasing new equipment to boost efficiency.

Company shifts focus from single exhaust stacks to full facility energy flow

"We don't want to look at one exhaust stack or one piece of equipment in isolation," said Dan Lehman, President of Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation. The engineering firm evaluates heated exhaust air, process air, equipment heat, hot process streams, compressed-air systems and ventilation as potential recovery sources.

IVA Blasts PAN Study Claiming 400 Million Pesticide Poisonings

Frankfurt – September 10, 2026 -- The German agricultural industry association IVA has dismissed a new study by the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) claiming more than 400 million pesticide-related poisoning cases occur globally each year, calling the figure scientifically indefensible.

IVA says PAN conflates exposure with confirmed poisoning

The Industrieverband Agrar e.V. (IVA) argues the PAN study fails to define what qualifies as a poisoning, relying heavily on self-reported symptoms rather than medically confirmed diagnoses. According to IVA, this methodological gap means exposure and actual poisoning are not properly separated, inflating the headline figure. A previous PAN study on global poisoning cases was withdrawn after similar criticism of its methodology and data sources.

CEM Achieves Smelter Grade Alumina Breakthrough, Launches Prefeasibility Study

Calgary – September 10, 2026 -- Canadian Energy Metals Corp. (CEM) has achieved proof-of-concept for producing Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) from a non-bauxite resource, marking a potential shift in North America's aluminum supply chain, and has formally commenced its Prefeasibility Study (PFS) for the Thor Project in northeast Saskatchewan.

CEM's process converts black shale into alumina matching Bayer Process purity standards

The company's testing process converts boehmite, derived from precursors linked to High Purity Alumina (HPA) and Chemical Grade Alumina (CGA), into SGA that consistently matches the purity and specifications of alumina produced through the Bayer Process, the current industry standard for refining bauxite. SGA is the principal feedstock for aluminum metal production, and CEM's results were achieved without relying on bauxite, the conventional ore source.
