OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The directors of Summit Environmental Corporation (Pink Sheets: SEVT) elected John Brooks and Dr. Mohsen Amiran as directors to fill recent director vacancies, announced Thomas Kenan, counsel to and a director of Summit. In addition, Mr. Brooks was appointed President of the company and Dr. Amiran was appointed Executive Vice President of the company. Further, Brooks and Amiran were appointed as the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors and, between meetings of the board, possess the full powers of the Board of Directors. Finally, the directors announced that earlier reported problems with Summit's fire suppressant products are being corrected.

Both Mr. Brooks and Dr. Amiran earlier were directors of the company but had resigned their offices. Dr. Amiran is the inventor of the company's fire suppressant products, and Brooks is one of this country's experts in fire suppressant technology. Kenan said, "The directors welcome back these two individuals who have always been the backbone of the company in technology matters and are most capable of leading the company to financial success in marketing its fire suppressant products."

Mr. Brooks, 59, of Oak Harbor, WA is a retired Naval Officer with twenty-five years of active naval service. After his naval service, in 1993 he joined Mach II Aviation, an FAA repair station, directing the development of global positioning system (GPS) applications. He managed the first installation and approval of supplementary GPS receivers for oceanic navigation.

In 1995, he joined International Aero Inc. (IAI) as director of purchasing. Significantly, in 1997 he was reassigned as director of research in its fire protection laboratory. He began focusing on applications of condensed aerosols which led to the 2005 adoption of the NFPA2010 standard.

In 1998 he formed FirePak Oil and Gas Industries LLC to exploit this emerging new technology and to market Pyrogen condensed and disbursed aerosols products and to provide consulting services in the Americas. His recent research has concentrated in aerospace fire protection and suppression systems testing. His research into ignition sources in airliner fires has led to the development of the new Arc Fault Circuit Protection for aerospace. He was instrumental in identifying aging wiring and the location of hidden or non-accessible fires and in developing new alternative suppression systems for commercial aircraft. The detection and location of wiring defects in aging aircraft has gained an industry wide focus, with the goal of mitigation of electrical arcing as an ignition source and of wiring failures for airliner electrical system malfunctions.

In 2004 the IAI fire protection laboratory was purchased by Doll technology Group where Mr. Brooks served as Director of research and president of RedBrooks Laboratories. There he helped develop the "Fire Caddy" product Line. In 2006 he left Doll and formed StillBrooks Laboratory, where he serves as President, and StillBrooks AG., where he is Director of Research working on applications of Anionic Polyacrylamide for firefighting and for water retention in domestic agriculture.

He was a director of our company from 1999 until his resignation in 2002.

Dr. Amiran, 57, of Oak Creek, WI received his undergraduate degree in Organic Chemistry from Areya Mehr University in Tehran, Iran and his Ph.D. from the University of Essex in England. Early in his career, at the Shah of Iran's request, he organized a new technical university in Tehran to do research and development for both military and civilian causes. The operation grew into perhaps the largest research facility in the Middle East. His work on solvents for cleaning oil spills and other environmentally safe cleaning solvents was so highly regarded that the Shah of Iran presented him with three awards, including a gold medal, the country's highest honor.

When the Islamic revolution took place, the new regime destroyed Dr. Amiran's laboratory and burned his equipment and research records. Eventually, Ayatollah Khomeini, the new leader, stepped in and asked Dr. Amiran to become an advisor and help industry and the military to get back on their feet. After a short time, Dr. Amiran escaped with his wife and son to London and then to the United States. He became a professor at Northwestern University. Later he founded BioGenesis Enterprises, Inc. of Springfield, Virginia, where he again began working on environment-saving fire suppressants and cleaning agents.

He has been employed the last ten years as the CEO of BioGenesis Enterprises. He was a director of our company from 1999 until his resignation in June 2007.

Both Mr. Brooks and Dr. Amiran will serve as officers and directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the registrant. Neither has any family relationship with any director or executive officer of the registrant.
