Water is very important to the human body, but if it is contaminated, what is the replacement for water? In the city of Fruitvale, there was a leak in Strawberry Creek of No-Bug Pesticide. If No-Bug Pesticide gets to 5.0 ppb (parts per billion), the water is unable to drink. Therefore, I think that bioremediation is the best solution to clean up Strawberry Creek because it poses no health problems, you can fix conditions if they are improper, but the conditions are hard to get through. First off, bioremediation poses no health problems. Bioremediation is the process of which they use organisms to clean up any chemicals. No Bug pesticide usually decomposes under these conditions. Microorganisms will eventually consume the pesticide in three

    Film Review Zoogliamass

    One way is the method that used to be used: use chlorine to kill the bacteria. This is bad because the chlorine then goes into river and kills many living things in river. Chlorine can also turn into gas, which is deadly. Now, however, the plant uses UV light which merely mutates bacteria’s DNA so they can no longer reproduce. The effluent, or out-flowing, water is pumped out to Beaver Run, which then feeds into Tinker’s Creek, which then empties out into the Cuyahoga River, which goes to Lake Erie.…

    The Obligation To Endure By Rachel Carson Summary

    Rachel Carson in her article “The Obligation to Endure” argues the impact that pesticides/insecticides had upon the environment and the human health risks that were caused because of the harmful pesticides/insecticides. Carson made some interesting points which led me to think about how man is actually destroying the earth, with the help of science because of the harmful chemicals that are being used in pesticides. Society fails to realize that the pesticides being used are actually killing other animals and human species through the contaminations in it, that’s made by man on earth because we humans and the animals eat those crops. The quote, “The central problem of our age has therefore become the contamination of man’s total with substances…

    Environmental Influences On Beach Processes

    The beach are not separated environments, as they receive energy and material, process these inputs, and consequently may lose them as an output. This physical process which combine the inputs, outputs and interactions that effect could be determined in a system that acts together in shaping the coastal morphology. Variations in inputs could cause modification in the physical environment, for example, an increase in wave energy may enhance beach erosion, or a decrease in nutrients may limit biological efficiency, so that demonstrating all natural coastal operations are interlinked in certain way or altogether.

    Beach Habitat

    Defeo, McLachlan et al examine what makes sandy shoreline habitats unique among other types of shorelines. Their article looks at threats to beaches, from weather patterns, to extreme storms, as well as man made structures and failed attempts at beach rehabilitation. The article makes a point that long-term information about the on-going changes in beach habitats is often hard to come by, and what information can be found is very short-term, geologically speaking. They suggest that in order to properly measure threats to beach habitats, long term studies must be put in place, and these studies must be designed to bring to light which threats are natural and which are anthropogenic.…

As I gazed across the endless sands, the sun was beginning to rise.…

The discussion of environmental problems is a topic of many political debates, but throughout the years scientific evidence has documented the…

    Pros And Cons Of Destroying Human Race

Humanity is creating an environment that is unadaptable for our species. The Earth provides us with our essential needs; water, air, and food. As humans expunge the environment by polluting and improperly disposing waste, we are disabling the Earth from providing our basic needs, therefore killing ourselves. In the end the planet Earth will still exist, however if we continue down the path of polluting our air and improperly disposing our waste the human race will become extinct.…
