Indonesia's Quake Toll Rises To Six, 10,000 Displaced
(RTTNews) - Six persons were killed and over 10,000 others were displaced after a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.5 rattled Indonesia's Sulawesi Island Monday. Health ministry reports said that over 150 persons were injured.
The shallow quake hit Indonesia early Monday with its epicenter 138 km northwest of Gorontalo city. Indonesia's meteorology agency issued a tsunami alert, but the warning was lifted later.
Two more bodies were pulled out from the rubble Tuesday adding to the four already reported dead in Monday's quake. The Health Ministry crisis center reports said that over 1,000 buildings were damaged in the quake and over 10,000 persons had sought safe shelters out of their homes.
Indonesia had just launched a hi-tech tsunami alert system to issue early warnings, but experts said that large parts of the country are still not covered and the system will not be fully operational till 2010.
Meanwhile, a moderate earthquake of magnitude 5.5 rocked eastern Indonesia Tuesday. However, there were no reports of damage or casualties.

Showcases Its Revolutionary Air Purifer; Confernce A Success
The EnviroCities 2008 International Conference that was held at the Bustan Rotana Hotel, was organized by the 'Environmental Centre for Arab Towns', in association with Harvard University- School of Public Health. More than 20 experts from different parts of the world had spoken about the health hazards of pollution and the ways to combat them, such as the use of Plasmacluster Ion Purifier developed by Sharp Corp. The conference was attended by ministers, senior government officials, NGO's, healthcare professionals and other dignified invitees.
This conference had attracted the attention of the world leaders, the conference calls for the immediate government intervention in emission control and the subsequent healthcare. "We are proud to say that Sharp Plasmacluster ion technology can help to provide healthier and comfortable indoor environment. The Plasmacluster ion purifier from Sharp generates positive and negative ions that can inactivate airborne virus, bacteria, odour and allergens." Mr Fred Yamaguchi, the newly on board Managing Director of Sharp Middle East said in his presentation speech in EnviroCities conference.
The effect of the Plasmacluster has proven its effect against more than 17 kinds of airborne and harmful species including bird flu H5N1.It has also been proven that the trigger of allergic asthma can be reduced by the Plasmacluster ions, and Sharp has granted the certificate from Asthma Society of Canada in the year 2004.
More than 25 collaborative researches have been conducted with academic bodies and associations all over the world, including the Asthma association of Canada, as well as the Professors from Harvard School of public health in the US, University of London in the UK, and University of Lubeck in Germany.
Sharp had built stalls around the conference area to demonstrate the Plasmacluster air purifiers, a technology that was verified by harnessing the intellectual power of experts across the globe, in the field of healthcare control.
The conference also emphasized about the active involvement of the government in cutting the carbon and other greenhouse gas emission. It has highlighted about the repercussions that will result if strategies to control all forms of pollution are not implemented immediately. Sharp Corp, the Platinum sponsor of the conference wants to provide the people with clean air to breath, a clean and green earth for the people to live in.
