Peat is a renewable, natural, organic material of botanical origin and of commercial significance. Peatlands are situated predominately in shallow wetland areas of the Northern Hemisphere, where large deposits developed from the gradual decomposition of plant matter under anaerobic conditions. Peat has widespread use as a plant-growth medium in a variety of horticultural and agricultural applications, where its fibrous structure and porosity promote a unique combination of water-retention and drainage characteristics. Commercial applications include potting soils, lawn and garden soil amendments, and turf maintenance on golf courses. In industry, peat is used primarily as a filtration medium to remove toxic materials from process waste streams, pathogens from sewage effluents, and deleterious materials suspended in municipal storm-drain water. In its dehydrated form, peat is a highly effective absorbent for fuel and oil spills on land and water. The United States remained a significant producer and consumer of peat for horticultural, agricultural, and industrial purposes. A variety of peat types were extracted and processed from 61 identified operations in 17 of the conterminous United States and by several companies in Alaska. The grades of peat included, in order of importance, reed-sedge, sphagnum moss, hypnum moss, and humus. Florida, Michigan, and Minnesota accounted for 78% of U.S. production. The United States imported one-half of its total domestic requirements, principally from Canada, where deposits of high-quality sphagnum moss are extensive. U.S. production and sales of peat increased for the fifth consecutive year (table 1). Imports of sphagnum peat from Canada increased by 5%.

The purpose of this study was to explore how supervisors in group homes caring for people with intellectual disability responded to the development of age-related health changes in their residents. Ten group home supervisors working in the disability sector were interviewed once. Data were analysed using Dimensional Analysis. The study identified several factors related to whether a resident could stay ‘at home’ or would need to be moved to residential aged care (nursing home) including: nature and extent of group home resources, group home staff comfort with residents’ health changes, staff skill at navigating the intersection between the disability and ageing sectors, and the supervisor’s philosophy of care. The ability of older people with an intellectual disability to ‘age in place’ is affected by staff knowledge about and comfort with age-related illnesses, staff skills at navigating formal services, staffing flexibility, and the philosophy of group home supervisors. Despite the growing international concern for the rights of people with disability, particularly in relation to decision making, questions about the older person’s choice of residence and participation in decision making about what was best for them, were almost nonexistent. Rather, decisions were made based on what was considered to be in ‘the best interest’.
