There have been failures and successes that make this field one of the most rigorous fields. Aerospace engineering can be considered one of the least forgiving forms of engineering, but it is worth the effort and achievements that come with it. There are many different…

Throughout history a strong correlation has been observed between the presence of environmental pollutants and adverse physiological effects on both humans and wildlife (Olea & Fernandez 2000; Kawai et al. 2003). These pollutants have the capacity to disrupt normal endocrine function, with the majority of cases involving reproductive abnormalities leading to population decline (Kawai et al. 2003). Chemicals with such effects are labelled as endocrine disruptors and can be defined as exogenous…

children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. Exposure to toxic mold can occur simply by breathing tainted air in a home, or worse from direct contact with the mold. Wet mold does not pose a health risk by tainting indoor air, but when the fungus dries there is the potential for mold spores to be released into the air. This poses a significant risk to indoor air quality. Some of the known health risks faced by those who have been exposed to Black Mold include:…

Many people try to climb Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth, but not many are able to succeed this once in a lifetime experience. The first people to ever reach the summit of Mount Everest were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on May 29, 1953. The two did not realize the dangers that they would face during their goal of reaching the summit. Since the journey was taken by Hillary and Tenzing, many others have tried to take the same challenge but caused damage during the expedition.…

In the reading, "Cracking Down on Diesel," the author argues that California should improve their enforcement of rules regarding soot and black carbon pollution from diesel engines. The author’s main reasons to support his view are that cleaning the pollution up is easy, practical, and affordable, but diesel emissions still pose a danger to humans and the climate when state enforcement of diesel pollution rules is lacking (Paragraph 2 and 3). In paragraph four and five, Carl Pope describes…
