The EPA is soliciting public comments on geologic sequestration of 
carbon dioxide. It has been proposed that carbon dioxide could be 
removed from the atmosphere and stored in underground rock formations, 
but that could affect water quality:

Featured product: Expansion joints
------------------------------------------------------

Expansion joints are rubberized (or other flexible-material) connection 
pieces, used to match up hard piping that doesn't align correctly, 
reduce the impact of vibrations and motion, and otherwise improve the 
quality of connections between segments of pipe and other equipment. 
Expansion joints commonly help isolate piping from the rattling and 
vibrations that can occur when pumps start up and shut down. They can 
also be used on dry-product applications when the products have some 
fluid properties.

and ask for details.
