A few months ago, I was reviewing the findings of a study my organization, the Union of Concerned Scientists, just concluded on facilities that use ethylene oxide (EtO), a carcinogenic gas, to sterilize medical equipment, spices and dried food, as well as manufacture other chemicals. I came to a sudden halt when I came across the listing of two spice sterilizing facilities –of four plants located in Maryland –that are only two and a half miles from my house.

Sometimes, you can look at an animal and their name just makes sense. Tiger sharks have tiger-like stripes, sea slugs look like land slugs and blue whales are, well, quite blue. The same thing is true for the aptly named unicornfish. As you can probably guess, the unicornfish gets its moniker from the unicorn-horn-like protrusion sticking out of its face.
