Climate change and pollution are serious global issues. Recently, cities such as New Delhi and Beijing have been plagued by unprecedented levels of smog, leading to riots and unrest. Greenhouse gases have greatly increased the temperature of our atmosphere and are upsetting the Earth’s fragile balance as an ecosystem. Consequently, in 2016, the arctic ice sheet was the smallest ever recorded, but most worryingly, according to NASA, the past 13 years have had the 13 smallest ice sheets on record…

Genetic Disorders are medical conditions that are caused by an error in a person’s genes. Some genetic disorders appear as birth defects, while others do not become distinct until later in life. They can rage from terminal to mild. Scientists have distinguished more that 9,000 genetic disorders, some of which are exceptionally rare while others are common.

Myelodysplastic Syndrome Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of blood diseases that affects new blood cells. This syndrome starts in the bone marrow where new blood cells are made. New blood cells are called immature cells or stem cells. With MDS, some immature cells do not grow into adult blood cells. Immature blood cells cannot live for very long in the body and they die. Over time, immature blood cells crowd out normal adult blood cells. This causes a low blood count. The bone marrow…

Genferal 1 – environmental impacts from the use of automobiles has centered on emissions, climate change and fuel economy. 2 – About three-quarters of the average car can be recycled. 2 - Eighty to 90% of a vehicle’s environmental impact comes from fuel consumption and emissions that lead to air pollution and greenhouse gases. Brake Debris and Tire Particles 1. Substances raise toxicity levels in nearby soilds and in the case of timre particles, lead to the formation of black carbon. Cause…

Myelodysplastic syndromes, also known as MDS and pre-leukemia, are a group of disorders caused when the production of white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets is interrupted (Myelodysplastic Syndrome Treatment 2016). These syndromes are rare, fewer than 14,000 cases of myelodysplastic syndromes occur in the United States each year (Statistics about Myelodysplastic syndromes).
