I work in politics and came across this in a military appropriations rider that was attached to a bill I was working on. Anyone have any idea what Micropore is spending 1.6 million on?
"$1.6 million for Micropore, Inc.'s work on Reactive Plastic CO2 Absorbent Production Capacity, a critical technology improvement for rebreathers used by SEALS, subs, mines, etc."

We used MP Scrubbers in the Nuclear Submarine environment. They are emergency atmosphere control scrubbers, and used when sealing off compartments with a contaminated atmosphere. They were reactive to certain chemicals, although I don't remember which. Cool thing is, we used o2 rebreathers for firefighting, just don't get the canisters exposed to saltwater as they would literally explode! Do you think they met OSHA standards?
