Blue-Zone featured in The Kingston Whig-Standard "Eight years ago, Doug Bodie, an anesthesia assistant at Kingston General Hospital, made a surprising discovery. He was asked to take part in a trial of a filtration system that would trap expelled anesthetic gases, gases that have been proven to be environmentally unfriendly. 'I wasn't aware of the environmental issues, because green wasn't in back then,' Bodie said. Only about 5% of the anesthesia patients are given during surgery is metabolized, Bodie learned. The remaining 95% is vented through the hospital's stack and into the atmosphere. ... Despite not knowing about the environmental concerns the untreated gases were creating, Bodie said, 'it's just good to know that this is a 100% green project.' 'You're starting with the drug, and, at the end of the day, you will end up with the same drug,' Bodie said. 'We're not polluting the environment, and it's good for everybody.'
