Blue 'n Green looks to clean streams...
(2008-08-20)
(kuaf) - Pharmaceuticals, drugs and other organic chemical compounds have been measured in nearly 20 streams in northwest Arkansas.

But one start-up firm in Fayetteville may have found a solution. Jacqueline Froelich reports: © Copyright 2009, kuaf
