ABC Trap Kit with CO2
This kit provides the same capabilities as TRAPKIT1 with the added feature of being able to use dry ice as an integral source of CO2 for attracting mosquitoes or other Dipterans. This kit includes the American Biophysics CO2LID which is an insulated 2 liter container, assembled directly to the top of the trap, with a built-in manifold to provide CO2 at a continuous rate of approximately 500 ml per minute.
CO2 (Dry Ice) Container: Capacity: 4.0 lbs. of dry ice Top inside diameter: 11.3 cm Bottom inside diameter: 10.8cm Inside height: 19.8 Volume: 1.90 liters Flow rate: approx. 500 ml/min Flow Time: approx. 11.5 hrs for 1.5lbs of dry ice. Contents:
· ABCTRAP1 · CO2LID · NET1 · ROPE1 · BAT6/10

ABU Factory Permethrin Tx Status
AF Uniforms and Program Policy (AF/A1SO) supports factory treatment of ABUs Focus on fire retardant ABUs (ABE-FR) initially Representatives from Uniform Board at previous AFPMB mtg
Initiative has been pre-empted by other issues in recent months AF/A1SO participating in congressional mandated joint utility
uniform meetings Focus likely on Services' heavy reliance on each other's
RDT&E initiatives and partnerships during standardization AF/A1SO planned to discuss permethrin treatment as side bar
