Court: make currency recognizable to blind
Last Updated: 2006-11-29 13:33:07 -0400 (Reuters Health)
WASHINGTON - The U.S. government discriminates against blind people because American currency is not designed to be distinguishable to visually impaired people, a federal judge said on Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge James Robertson said the government needed to figure out a way to design and distribute currency that includes an element to help blind people tell the bills apart.Robertson was ruling on a lawsuit filed by The American Council of the Blind against the U.S. Treasury Department. The council accused the department of violating the Rehabilitation Act, which was passed by Congress to ensure that people with disabilities can maximize their independence and "inclusion and integration into society."
"It can no longer be successfully argued that a blind person has 'meaningful access' to currency if she cannot accurately identify paper money without assistance," Robertson wrote in a 26-page order.

"Of the more than 180 countries that issue paper currency, only the United States prints bills that are identical in size and color in all their denominations," he wrote.
The American Council of the Blind had proposed several possible changes to U.S. currency including different size bills for different denominations, embossed dots and raised printing.
The U.S. government said such changes would be expensive, could render currency more vulnerable to counterfeiting and could undermine international acceptance of the U.S. dollars -- an argument the judge dismissed as "fairly absurd."
Robertson rejected a government request to dismiss the case and ordered a hearing in about 30 days to discuss possible remedies.

PARIS - Smoke from burning wood or stir-frying food indoors could potentially cause cancer and people in poor countries are at most risk, research showed on Wednesday.
Scientists at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said indoor emissions from burning biomass fuel -- such as wood, charcoal and dung -- as well as emissions from high-temperature frying, could lead to cancer.
Estimates are that about half the world's population uses wood or coal for cooking and heating, often in poorly ventilated spaces.
"It is therefore of enormous public health importance that we call attention to the health risks of what is daily practice for so many people," Dr Peter Boyle, of the Lyon-based IARC, said in a statement.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, more than 90 percent of households use solid fuels such as wood, according to the study, while stir-frying, deep-frying and pan-frying, which involve heating oil to high temperatures, are most common in East Asia.
The summary of the IARC study was published online by the Lancet Oncology journal. The results will also be presented at the Society for Risk analysis annual meeting in the United States.
