Air Quality Index

When you’re told that you’re visiting what used to be the largest landfill in the world, it’s not like you’re excited to see it, let alone smell it and stand in it. But as we stepped off the bus at Fresh Kills, we were greeted by green grass, wildflowers, and a cool breeze. I knew Fresh Kills was in the process of being capped and that in 30 years, it’d be one of the largest national parks and that parts were already open to the public but I wasn’t expecting rolling hills and seagulls. Fresh…

Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking, about life, and how someone might defined the overall quality, of his /her life. “ Quality of life”, is different to everyone, no two people will define it the same way nor will it be explained in the same manner. Since there are differences of opinion as to what “quality of life” actually is a working definition for this paper should be established. Therefore the definition I will be working with will be as follows it is a very complex…

Air Quality and Toxic Release The problem of the air quality and toxic release is currently attracting people’s attention worldwide. Certainly, resident of the vibrant, wealth city of Montreal, in Canada, are also focused on solving this universal problem.

Air pollution is one of the biggest pollution of industrial pollution, and PM 2.5 is a very important indicator of air pollution. Specifically, PM 2.5 is the particulate matter which less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter. More vivid to show how small PM 2.5 is, a picture from United States Environmental Protection Agency shows the diameter of a PM 2.5 particulates is much…

However just because proud Americans cannot see something does not mean it does not exist; there are positive qualities to an authoritarian regime type, especially when limited to looking at the short term.

visible LEDs. In majority of these applications, potential use of organic polymers is in the form of anti-reflective coatings, optical adhesives, substrates, and micro lenses. The critical property necessary for such applications is the high refractive index (RI) of the material. However, typical carbon based polymers have low RI values which limits the use of these polymers in the aforementioned applications. Thus, organic polymers with higher RI values, typically greater than 1.8, have…
