pharmaceutical manufacturing. GAC is commonly used to adsorb natural organic compounds, taste and odor compounds, and synthetic organic chemicals in drinking water treatment. Activated carbon is an effective adsorbent because it is a highly porous material and provides a large surface area to which contaminants may adsorb (Makram 1996). However, GAC filters also can serve as an incubator of bacteria because of their porous structure and nutrient-rich environment. The GAC filters may also cause…

As Lester stated, chemical companies need to face the truth about those hazardous chemicals they created. Otherwise, they have two choices, one they can continue delivering their poison to the people with false information, and two they can stop producing them. Under those…

Genetically modified foods are also abbreviated as “GMO” or they can also be called “genetically engineered…

The WNA believes that Chernobyl was a human based issue, but Greenpeace thinks that it is all the fault of using nuclear energy. The WNA thinks that the Fukushima disaster was not very preventable and a little bit of human error but mostly it was a freak…

requirements for these processes in terms of the welfare of the workers.  Plastics processing. Besides of the vapors emitted, contaminated water is expelled from this process. This guideline states that manufacturer should avoid the use of toxic or hazardous materials and processes and some international organizations help the companies to accomplish this requirement (ISO 14001, ISO 18001, OSHAS, NIOSH) Use issues It is related to the emissions of CO2, NOX and SOX because of oil burning. United…

mercury affects the kidneys and CNS; phenol may cause shock, weakness, convulsions, kidney damage, heart failure, and death; many viruses and bacteria , which simply cannot be removed from the vaccine, since they are made on the basis of biological material of animals (calf serum, chicken embryos, and others) and antibiotics and fungicides which strongly suppress the immune system.

The mass production of artillery shells led to many defects in the ammunition, a large percentage of shells fired were found to be duds. These “duds” became hazardous as they were unpredictable. They could explode at any second. The British dedicated a section of their Ordnance Examiners from the Royal Army to handle the issue. In 1918, the Germans developed delayed-action fuzes that would later develop into more…
