of circular causation, the exposure to pollution in these areas can only decrease the value of these homes, which has obviously not helped improve the welfare or wealth of these residents, as they lack the assets to relocate to areas with cleaner air. This vicious cycle of segregation, environmental racism, and impoverishment has cumulative effects. Indeed, the complex process, in which areas with cheap homes are deemed less “costly” to pollute, has allowed Chevron and other companies to…

Fatigue effects both student pilots and flight instructors and is known to be one of the top contributors to accidents within aviation. According to the Federal Aviation Administration Air information Manuel fatigue “may not be apparent to the pilot until a serious error has been made” (“FAA AIM”, 2015, p. 8-1-2).

atmosphere and forms carbonic acid (H_2 CO_3), lowering the pH of rain to around 5.6. However, the release of nitrogen and sulfur from burning hydrocarbon fuels can lower the pH of rain to as low as 2. Nitrogen and sulfur oxide are common in the air around industrial areas and has serious negative effects of aquatic environments. Acid rain forms because petroleum naturally has impurities in it. This is because when the plant or animal died millions of years ago the various elements and…
