Dioxin emissions from plastic burning

The most dangerous emissions can be caused by burning plastics containing organochlor-
based substances like PVC. When such plastics are burned, harmful quantities of
dioxins, a group of highly toxic chemicals are emitted. Dioxins are the most toxic to the
human organisms. They are carcinogenic and a hormone disruptor and persistent,
and they accumulate in our body-fat and thus mothers give it directly to their babies
via the placenta. Dioxins also settle on crops and in our waterways where they eventually
wind up in our food, accumulate in our bodies and are passed on to our children.

How burning of plastics and other waste harms the environment

Pollutants released from burning plastic waste in a burn barrel are transported through the air either short or long distances, and are then deposited onto land or into bodies of water. A few of these pollutants such as mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins and furans persist for long periods of time in the environment and have a tendency to bio-accumulate which means they build up in predators at the top of the food web. Bioaccumulation of pollutants usually occurs indirectly through contaminated water and food rather than breathing the contaminated air directly. In wildlife, the range of effects associated with these pollutants includes cancer, deformed offspring, reproductive failure, immune diseases and subtle neurobehavioral effects. Humans can be exposed indirectly just like wildlife, especially through consumption of contaminated fish, meat and diary products.

The membership of the Pan-Icarian Brotherhood is open to anyone over 18 years of age (or their spouse) whose ancestry can be traced to the eastern Aegean Greek islands of Icaria or Fournoi. There are approximately 1800 dues paying members among the 21 chapters in the United States and Canada. The annual convention of the Pan-Icarian Brotherhood is held every Labor Day weekend and can attract several thousand participants.

In 1961 a tax exempt “Pan-Icarian Foundation” was established to administer the philanthropic endeavors of the Pan-Icarian Brotherhood. Since its inception the Foundation has distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars for medical aid, scholarships, disaster relief, and other charitable causes in North America and Greece. The Foundation is currently headed by Gus Stefandis (Clearwater, Florida).

The official publication of the Pan-Icarian Brotherhood and the Pan-Icarian Foundation is IKARIA magazine. It is published quarterly in Dunedin, Florida under the guidance of its editor Niki Plutis.

Icarians through out the world celebrate July 17 or Saint Marina Day as Icarian Independence Day. On this date in 1912 the Icarians freed themselves of Turkish rule in a brief revolution with only one fatality. The island was technically an independent nation (with its own flag and national anthem) until union with Greece in November of that year. July 17 is commemorated by the Icarian diaspora of North America with picnics and parties.

Join us on Saturday, June 14th at the Leski for a Father’s Day Lunch.

Dendrological Methods Applied to the Rare Terrestrial Ecosystems of Ikaria Island, Greece

A one-week summer field course (04.08 - 10.08.2008 and 11.08 - 17.08.2008) combining fieldwork and lectures will be offered to participants. The course presents an integrated approach, covering dendrology, from the understanding of natural ecosystems to their conservation.

This field course aims to provide specialized knowledge of dendrological methods, focusing in particular on their application in Mediterranean terrestrial ecosystems and their characteristic tree-species.

Participants will acquire applied knowledge and a first-hand research experience in the ongoing conservation work of Archipelagos IMERAS.

Most of the island’s 8,500 residents live in the kind of sleepy stone villages where old men while away the afternoons playing dominoes in a shady square. Even the rugged coastline, which would be spackled with hotels on most Greek islands, has been left remarkably peaceful. Armenistis, on the northern shore, is the closest Ikaria comes to a resort and a magnet for sun-worshippers who oil up and grill on one of the town’s two long sandy beaches. Even more beautiful are the beaches at nearby Livadia and Mesahti, with their striking mountain backdrops. Extreme tanners can eliminate their bikini lines at the nearby nude beach of Nas. A more therapeutic experience is available at the hot springs of Therma and Lefkada on the southern coast, which have been providing soaks to the stressed since Homer’s day. Escaping other visitors is no problem in Ikaria. The coast is littered with idyllic coves, many of which are accessible only on foot. Should you feel inspired to do something more active than doze under the pine trees on a secluded beach, head inland for a refreshing country stroll or a more demanding mountain hike. It’s said that Icarus flew too high, melted his wings and dropped into the sea near Ikaria. Could he have been trying to get a better view of this magical island?
