that makes up more than 90 percent of shale gas, leak during fracking” (Fracking Is Harmful). Methane itself is not dangerous, but mixed with other substances it can become explosive and harmful. Additionally, volatile organic compounds, including benzene and toluene, are released during fracking (Fracking Is Harmful). These compounds can mix with nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel-fueled vehicles and equipment to form ground-level ozone. “These emissions contribute to the enhanced greenhouse…

Have you ever wondered what Michelangelo was thinking or imagining when he painted the Sistine Chapel? Or what fashionistas of history, like Coco Channel or Elsa Schiaparelli envisioned when they first sat at a sewing machine? Was it because they studied so hard on what color contrast goes best with what painting styles or what design would be perfectly matched to a particular shirt? Michelangelo’s parents disapproved of his artistic choice and he refuted that he was a painter and Coco Channel…

Leukemia Leukemia is a dangerous cancer. The experts cannot find the cause for this deadly cancer. There are different types of leukemia. This paper will be discussing what leukemia is, the different types and what the symptoms of some of them are. Leukemia is known to be the cancer of the blood. It starts in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is where blood cells are made. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Leukocytes (white blood cells) help the body fight…

Introduction Molecular orbital theory allows for the relation between the nature of chemical bonds and the properties of molecules.1 Many times, the frontier molecular orbitals, named HOMO and LUMO, are analyzed in order to predict these properties. In this lab, each double bond corresponds to a molecular orbital. The HOMO, or highest occupied molecular orbital is the most energetic (highest n-value) orbital that contains an electron. The n-value is equal to the number of double bonds present.…

History/ Background/ Origin The world 's oldest case of lung cancer traces back to Egypt, in 1500 b.c. The case reported 8 instances of tumors happening on the breast. This condition was dealt with by searing, a technique to completely get rid of tissue with a hot instrument called "the flame drill." It was additionally recorded that there was no treatment for the condition just a treatment. Lung tumors leading to cancer keeps on being the main reason for death in both men and ladies in the US…

There have been many debates about fracking and how people see it in their point of view and how many agree and oppose to it. The method of Fracking has affected the environment. The effects of Fracking have caused many losses to the environment such as contaminated water, air pollution, health problems and cost of energy. It also leads to the dangers in human life because of the contaminated water and the environment. The method of fracking is measured by the use of drilling and injecting high…

at that, a person could ask why we keep polluting the air, but what about the destruction of wild places? Yes, pollution is the reason why there are so many toxins in the air, but, the air could be cleansed. Air today contains pollutants such as, benzene, formaldehyde, alcohols and acetone. When plants take in the polluted CO2 (carbon dioxide) it travels through a variety of systems within the plant and eventually is released as fresh, uncontaminated O2 (oxygen). If there were more places on…

We have conducted a case study about air pollution. Air pollution is one of the biggest threat to earth and our existence because air pollution effects the ozone layer in a bad way where it shrinks the thickness of the ozone layer. If the ozone layer disappear, all of the sun rays including healthy and harmful will have contact our skin and body, And will eventually kill us. Air pollution is a combination of gases that surround us in the air. Also we can call it a mixture of chemicals and gases…

Lipids: Lipids have a hydrophobic nature because of the predominantly of hydrocarbon chains in their structure. They are insoluble or poorly soluble in water, but readily soluble in non polar solvents such as ether and benzene. Characteristics of Lipids:  Amphiphatic  Naturally occurring  Soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water  Undergo saponification  Undergo emulsification Classification and biological functions of Lipids: • Fatty Acids:  Energy sources  Biosynthetic…

 Used Lubricant Regeneration Technology Most conventional processes for used lubricant regeneration involve physical separation and chemical treatments to remove the contaminants and impurities from used lubricants to make it suitable for re-use. Some of these technologies generate liquid effluents, solid wastes, and air emissions during the regenerating process. The types of wastes, effluents, and wastes vary with the technology and processes used, and the environmental control methods [CEPA,…
