    Can one of you tell what the gases are that are released when you
    neutralize pickle with baking soda? Seems like a good question for
    Peter Rowe. Are we trading contained water pollution for much more
    easily ingested air pollution? I was told by one source in waste
    management (no not Tony Soprano) that it isn't the acid that is so
    bad environmentally but all the heavy metals dissolved in it. 

    I have been using Frei and Borel's Pre-Pro Pickle lately and find it
    really excellent for gold. Better than Sparex.
