(OTC PINK:AWSL) announces the postponement of the full-scale evaluation trials by the British fire service originally scheduled for early September, to allow NGAG BIOTECH LTD- a wholly owned subsidiary of NGAG Inc. and AP&I- to complete the necessary regulatory approval processes for its proprietary plant-based fire remediation and extinguishment technologies, EMERALDGREEN™ and ASCOGEL™.\r\n As previously outlined in AP&I's Vol. 1, Issue 7 Corporate Newsletter, the trials were designed to demonstrate that NGAG BIOTECH's unique solutions could reduce wildfire ignition risk and extinguish active fires using up to 80 percent less water.
