The corrected release reads:

OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a multiprogram science and technology national laboratory managed for the United States Department of Energy by UT-Battelle, LLC. ORNL is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, near Knoxville.  REPORT CERTIFIES EARTHFIRST TECHNOLOGIES PLANT EMISSIONS

EarthFirst Technologies, Inc. ("EFTI" or "the Company") (OTCB:EFTI) announces the release of a report, dated September 17, 2004 prepared by Oak Ridge National Laboratory ("ORNL ORNL Oak Ridge National Laboratory "), that documents the emissions status of its Catalytic Activated Vacuum Distillation Vacuum distillation is a method of distillation whereby the pressure above the liquid mixture to be distilled is reduced to less than its vapor pressure (usually less than atmospheric) causing evaporation of the least volatile liquid(s) (those with the highest boiling points).  ("CAVD CAVD Congenital Absence of the Vas Deferens ") plant. The focus of this investigation was potential fugitive emissions from the facility during the operation which has historically been a problem for rubber tire destruction / conversion plants. Sampling was conducted on-site using ORNL equipment and personnel under the direction of Dr. Roger A. Jenkins of The Environmental Chemistry and Mass Spectrometry mass spectrometry

Analytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by sorting gaseous ions by mass using electric and magnetic fields.
 Group. All measurements of particle concentrations and volatile organic compounds volatile organic compound Environment Any toxic cabon-based (organic) substance that easily become vapors or gases–eg, solvents–paint thinners, lacquer thinner, degreasers, dry cleaning fluids  were acceptable and no unusual or unexpected compounds were observed. This report will be available, in its entirety, on the EFTI website http://www.earthfirsttech.com.

Three different sampling and real time characterization methodologies were employed. Direct sampling ion trap ion trap

 mass spectrometry, real time particle monitoring, and area sampling and analysis of volatile organic compounds, were the methods used by ORNL and are described in detail in the report. Sampling was conducted by ORNL staff member Rob R. Smith, and analytical techniques, graphs, and tabulations of data are included for review.

EFTI Chairman, John Stanton states, "This certification from ORNL completes the data to be gathered on the plant operations. Production and operating data have been documented for some time and this report allows EFTI to commence commercial operations in Quarter IV, 2004."

Remember, historically high growth rates don't always mean a high rate of growth looking into the future.
), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future EFTI actions, which may be provided by management, are also forward-looking statements as defined by the Act. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to materially differ from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and to vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period.
