Hydraulic fracturing, also know as “fracking” is something you may not have heard of in Canada or Niagara to be precise although in the states this is more popular. Fracking is the process of drilling into the earth before shooting a high pressure water mixture into the hole to crack the rock which releases natural gases for gas companies to collect. This process is very bad for the environment and needs to be looked after. Fracking leads to air pollution, water contamination and seismic…

did not practice artificial preservation. The vast Inca civilization (1438-1533) also incorporated mummification in their culture. In his writings of life in Cusco, Garcilaso de la Vega ([1609], 1987) notes how Inca mummies were in the “perfect state of preservation”. The Inca practiced both spontaneous and anthropogenic mummification. It is a common misconception that only Inca…

The ICS (Incident Command System) originally named Field Command Operations System, was a concept formed in 1968 at a meeting called Fire of Chiefs in Phoenix, Arizona. The program was primarily built to model the management hierarchy of the United States Navy used mainly for fighting wild fires in California and Arizona during the 1970’s. ICS was fully developed during suppression efforts of California’s catastrophic wild fire disaster that caused millions of dollars in damage which also…

Monsanto’s cash cow herbicide Roundup is now making waves both in the United States and across the pond. Documents brought to light in American court cases have European officials investigating the truth of Monsanto’s safety claims, further entangling the company in its misdeeds ahead of government decisions on the safety of glyphosate, the weed killer’s main ingredient. Glyphosate has been linked to the development non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Court cases alleging the connection unsealed…

Introduction The first Earth Day in 1970 marked the commencement of the modern environmental movement (Jaffe et al. 1995, 132). Since that time, the United States federal government has initiated a number of command and control environmental policies to regulate activities. There is disagreement about rather these government controls are morally correct, though, such as with the recent Stream Protection Rule. Scholars like Robert Nozick would believe that environmental regulations impede on…

plant. Although they failed to obtain necessary permits and install controls for reducing their emissions, EPA was there to stop them from polluting our precious air with the help of the United States funding. Air is free moving which means air from California has the potential to reach other neighboring states. Sadly, Sulfur oxides is also able to move freely with the help of winds. Sulfur oxides is gaseous and toxic. Sometimes this toxic gas can come from a volcano erupting and something…

The independence of regulatory agencies indicates that they can operate without political interference and this ‘independence’ means protection from interference from the political power, particularly from the executive branch through ‘for-cause removal protection’ or through specified terms of tenure with their independence granted by legislation or the Constitution and mechanisms such as collegial membership . For Brown and others: The key characteristic of the independent regulator model…

occurred, and two, for a time after the process was completed, by pressure changes brought on by the lingering presence of fracking fluid. Dr. Eaton and Xuewei Bao also suggest that most of the recent earthquakes in Oklahoma and other parts of the United States have been caused by the burial of wastewater from all kinds of oil and gas wells rather than by the fracking process itself. Wastewater is injected under pressure into disposal wells drilled into a sandstone or other permeable formation…

altitude and rigorous temperature exposer. But when humans are exposed to these chemicals they can become deadly. The primer used for a C-17 contains a carcinogen known as Chromium-Six. Local laws always take priority over military policy. Different agencies, including Bay Area Air, are always interested in our toxic waist and hazardous materials. Unlike many other bases, Travis Air Force Base does not have a “paint barn,” basically a large hanger for the sanding, painting, and priming of…

Lead is a toxic metal that is harmful to human health; there is NO safe level for lead exposure. The degree of exposure depends on the concentration of lead, route of exposure (air, water, and food), current medical condition, and age. It has been estimated that up to 20 % of the total lead exposure in children can be attributed to a waterborne route, i.e., consuming contaminated water. In addition, infants, fetuses, and young children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning. This is…
