Bridge Infrastructure and Transportation Engineering: Rebuilding the Lake Champlain Bridge | Solutions
Bridge Infrastructure and Transportation Engineering: Rebuilding the Lake Champlain Bridge | Solutions: "The Lake Champlain Bridge spanned the state line between Crown Point, New York and Chimney Point, Vermont and has recently been demolished due to severe structural deterioration and unsafe conditions.
The closure of this important transportation artery, its demolition, and the construction of a new bridge will cost taxpayers millions of dollars.
Because of the high unplanned cost and concern for the safety of many bridges throughout the United States with similar design, the replacement of Lake Champlain Bridge is receiving national attention."

Metal hip replacements in pregnant women leach chromium and cobalt into babies
Metal hip replacements in pregnant women leach chromium and cobalt into babies: "A study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center recently presented at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons held in New Orleans revealed that expectant mothers with metal-on-metal hip implants pass metal ions to their offspring during pregnancy. The ions, it turns out, result from wear and tear as well as from corrosion as the parts of the artificial joint, called prosthesis, rub against one another."
