festival rate our session today the executive director of the tour for american history at the university of texas at austin and his new book flash of lights, wall of fire, welcome. >> i am glad to be here, mark. good to see you. before we talk about this stunning book, which is about the aftereffects of the bombings that ended world war ii the atomic bombs that were dropped on hiroshima, 1945 in the bomb that was dropped on nagasaki just three days later, which effectively ended world war ii. before we talk about the book, contextualize those events force a little bit. >> of course the bomb itself was developed during world war ii in the famous manhattan project. and then when franklin or died as under his watch became president in july of 45 the bomb was successfully tested and eight desert in new mexico. truman and then made the decision to drop the bomb on japan. i cannot recall really if he made a decision for both of them at the time. i think that was soon after. but any rate made the decision to going to dropped the bomb on japan it was the target that was chosen first. it was dropped

florida where i -- since beginning as a professor of chemistry at the university of minnesota, i have worked in the areas of sustainable polymers and much of my research today has connections to sustainability. i have led numerous research efforts and focused on sustainable polymers. i have a passion for advancing sustainable polymers to enable a circular economy for future generations. our society depends on plastics every day and we are faced with a crisis. comforts, conveniences and efficiencies associated with the use of these modern materials comes at a cost. moreover, nearly all the new plastic is derived from nonrenewable fossil resources thus contributing to the depletion of finite feedstocks harbored by earth. while we all know about plastics recycling and the chasing arrow indicators on plastic materials, the fact is that a very small percentage of plastics are effectively recycle. to make matters worse, most plastics are used for a short . of time -- period of time and then disposed, often indiscriminately. the value of that plastic material is lost, waste is generated,

i'm a professor of mechanical engineering at the university of minnesota. ogy to remove pollutant particles specifically, including infectious particles with viable viruses in them, from the air that we breathe. and we were able to do a test where we aerosolized high concentration solution of porcine corona virus into very small droplets. when we did that particular set of tests on the oxypure, we got an overall removal efficiency of 98%. it's because it uses multiple control technologies in it. first, the air flow passes through an electrostatic precipitator. this is the device which is designed to first ionize particles, so that they'll move in an electric field. and then there is a high efficiency particulate air filter integrated with an activated carbon filter. for particle removal, the more important part is the high efficiency particulate air filter which to have that rating, must be able to remove 99.97% of particles at 300 nanometers. those two technologies together will be extremely efficient in combination and removing particles. - well, it remove
