Since he founded the Greenfield Partners, LLC in 1997, real estate business executive Eugene Gorab has successfully guided the company into becoming a recognized leader in the private equity real estate industry. As the firm's President and CEO, Eugene Gorab also serves as a trustee of Bucknell University where he earned his degree in chemical engineering.
Recent undergraduate research carried out by four students from Bucknell University and Carnegie Mellon University has discovered carbon monoxide (CO) in e-cigarettes in higher power settings. Under the supervision of chemical engineering and chemistry professor Dabrina Dutcher and chemistry professor Karen Castle, students Rileigh Casebolt, Jewel Cook, and Ana Islas of Bucknell and Alyssa Brown of Carnegie Mellon submitted their findings to the Tobacco Control Journal for publication in November. Using a high-powered laser device, the researchers measured CO levels in different power settings of e-cigarettes. Different flavors of e-fluids were also included in the tests. According to the study, at a maximum power of 200 watts, CO concentration was found to be more than 180 parts per million (PPM). Based on the US National Ambient Air Quality Standards, outdoor CO levels are 9 PPM for 8 hours while the current Occupational and Health Administration standards set CO exposure limit to 50 PPM for 8 hours. Based on the foregoing findings, the researchers, in their conclusion said that “vulnerable populations should be advised to abstain from or limit vaping to lower powers in order to minimize exposure to harmful CO.”

With the ULI Navigator, full or associate members can specify their career standing (i.e. student, early career, manager, and senior executive) and whether they want to participate in local initiatives or international programs across the Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, or Africa. More importantly, they can choose from the interest category whether they want to attend an ULI event, sponsor a program, share best practices, or improve their leadership skills. Accomplished real estate investment professional Eugene Gorab serves as the President and CEO of Greenfield Partners, LLC, a premier private equity real estate company he founded in 1997. Eugene Gorab belongs to the Real Estate Roundtable (RER).
In a statement, RER chairman Debra Cafaro applauded the US Congress’s quick passage of the re-authorization of the TRIA in time before the previous extension expires on December 20. In late November, the US Congress re-authorized the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA). This move will extend the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIP) for another seven years until December 31, 2027. Cafaro further stated that RER strongly supports the re-authorization, which ensures that terrorism insurance coverage will remain affordable and available. RER will continue to collaborate with the members of the US Congress and the Coalition to Insure Against Terrorism to reassure all real estate stakeholders that terrorism insurance coverage will be available for their investments. TRIA was first enacted in 2002 to counter the inability of the insurance market to offer commercial policyholders with terrorism risk coverage. TRIA is critical to commercial real estate markets since lenders require comprehensive insurance coverage that covers all risks to collateral, including terrorism. With TRIA, the commercial real estate market has moved forward despite many terror threats. |
