The World Plumbing Council and The IAPMO Group announced the release of the International SARS Symposium DVD. The four-disk DVD set includes more than six hours of viewing time with presentations from Stuart Henry, chairman of the World Plumbing Council; Charles Watson, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia; John Swaffield, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland; and Mark Sobsey, a World Health Organization adviser from the University of North Carolina.

"The DVD is an excellent educational video for people who want to learn more about how the SARS virus escaped from the plumbing system of the Amoy Gardens complex in Hong Kong," said GP Russ Chaney, executive director of The IAPMO Group. "Viewers will also find out about floor drain trap seal protection, airborne cross contamination routes and product compliance."
