change doesn’t always mean “hotter” it can also mean “cooler”. Natural events can cause climate change. Volcanic eruptions release enormous amounts of sulfur dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere in the form of tiny droplets of aerosol. The droplets of aerosol stay in the atmosphere and reflect the sunlight back into space, cooling the earth down. Even the natural gases that are produced are being produced at a much higher rate than previously. (Berne…
to prevent germs from growing. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is specialized clothing or equipment worn by a worker for protection against a hazard. The hazard in a health care setting is exposure to blood, saliva, or other bodily fluids or aerosols that may carry infectious such as Hepatitis C, HIV, or other blood borne or bodily fluid pathogen. PPE prevents contact with a potentially infectious…
sewage, and chemical pesticides from farms seep into streams and rivers. Cars, factories, and power plants burning fossil fuels give off fumes that pollute the air. Chemicals called CFCs (short for chlorofluorocarbons), used to make refrigerators and aerosol sprays, destroy the ozone layer, which protects us from harmful sunlight. Household and other waste buried underground pollutes the land." This shows that the advancements in technology and transportation in our society have negatively…
atmosphere that cannot be regulated, the diminishing sea ice and mountain glaciers, the rising the sea levels and the changes in the distribution of precipitation (Brauch 2011). These effects have been caused by the emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols that are generated by human…
Eventually fossil fuels will run out, which will decrease the amount of heat trapping aerosols in the atmosphere, reducing the temperature of the Earth. Furthermore, the excess carbon dioxide produced form the industrial processes will dissolve into the ocean or get trapped by the creation of carbonate minerals. Once that happens, with the…
Report 2: Graffiti intervention strategy for Caringbah High School The North Campus of Caringbah High School is an abandoned building in Caringbah, New South Wales (NSW) that is used for recreational art by the community, also known as graffiti (Walker and Johnston, 2014). The building is considered private property, and is not classified as a legal sanction for graffiti. However, this building has the potential to become a legal mural for the Caringbah community. This report will outline the…
Have you ever felt that the weather is getting warmer over the years? Have you ever been in a situation where you are enjoying a very sunny day and all of a sudden you are forced to look for shelter because of the sudden drizzle or downpour? Have you ever thought what caused all of these changes to our climate? Remember a time when you actually stopped to question the origins of these sprouting anomalies around you. Can you think of such a moment? All of these situations are becoming more…
They confirmed this to be a result of the refrigerants and aerosol sprays that humans use involving chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which are no longer produced. (citation) Today, many more human faults that add to climate change and global warming have been discovered. One significant way the people are causing this…
Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening disease that is inherited from the parents. The disease affects the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses and sex organs. It is very easy for bacteria to grow in the lungs because the mucus gets caught in the lungs which makes it harder to breathe. The build up in the lungs can cause repeated lung infections and lung damage. The mucus is usually slippery and wet but if you have Cystic Fibrosis the the mucus is thick and sticky which…
experiment was that the colony released high enough concentrations of ammonia, particulate matter, and bacteria and fungi to better understand the conditions surrounding Tadarida brasiliensis colonies. For the assessment of particulate matter, a DustTrak Aerosol Monitor 8520 with PM 10 inlet was utilized. The DustTrak readings were taken at 14:00 every other week for three weeks. The DustTrak measured for particles of 10 microns or smaller as they were…
