The new machine at the hospital will allow doctors to conduct medical examinations more thoroughly and will also make CT scans more widely available.

The bottled water testing included samples of 54 different products representing 21 brands by 16 companies. They were bought in Ottawa stores in April 2008. The containers were made of metal, glass, high-density polyethylene, polyethylene tere- phthalate and polycarbonate.
