Carbon fiber

reached 150 miles per hour on a highway for a deer to cross within only fifty feet. If anyone can do the math, then you will find that it’s impossible. Yes, I’m afraid to say that the amount of those carbons in the air and the damage it has caused cannot be taken back. What I’m also afraid is that those carbon atoms are not the only ones causing the damage. Whenever you turn your car on, you have made toxins that are poisoning the Earth. Whenever you open your refrigerator or use bug spray, you…

Bullseye Glass is a local glass manufacturing company in Portland, Oregon. In May 2016 Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) reported that on May 9th and 10th the company had violated the 24-hour benchmark and released 4x higher amounts of lead that allowed and that the Bullseye Glass company was the source. (OPB, 2016.) The company responded by claiming that DEQ is attempting to close the company down. The issue had been centrally over the production of a “white opal” glass, which…

Carbon monoxide is a gas with descriptive features being odorless and colorless gas that can be very fatal. Carbon monoxide can cause serious issues among the human body to the point where it can not consume more which either leads to an injury or a serious death. It is a very rapid death resulting from this gas it has maintained a nickname as the silent killer due to the feature of being odorless and colorless while being deadly. Even though it results in a fast death it would be very best to…

Chapter: Soil, Water and Air Pollution 1. Introduction: Definitions of soil, water and air pollution; sources and types of soil, water and air pollution, soil and water pollution status in India With rapid increase and development in industrial and agricultural sectors along with population explosion, huge amount of organic and inorganic waste is released in environment and causing serious threats to environment and agro-ecosystem. This procedure can bring about a danger in the human wellbeing.…

peaks that are present correspond to the functional groups in 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3,5-diphenyl-2-cyclohexenone. These functional groups are sp2 hybridized carbons at 3031 cm-1, sp3 hybridized carbons at 2981 cm-1, a carbonyl at 1735 cm-1, aromatic carbon-carbon stretching at 1660 cm-1, an ester carbon-oxygen stretching at 1144 cm-1, and alkene carbon-hydrogen stretching at 698 cm-1. There was no alcohol present in this spectra, indication that all of the catalyst was removed successfully. Also the…

The cause of climate change, as well as the existence of a major climate change, has been a hotly debated topic over the past decade. While there were many warnings from different members of the scientific community before 2006, nothing seemed to bring more attention to the debate from more walks of life, than the move "An Inconvenient Truth". This movie was so revolutionary that its creator, Al Gore Jr., with the help of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change would win the 2007 Nobel…

Global Warming: Problems and Solutions Global warming is defined as “a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.” by the Oxford Dictionary. This means that due to the effects of pollutants in the atmosphere the temperature of the earth is rising in a process called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is what happens when solar radiation…

not release carbon dioxide. Other ways to conserve energy is to turn off and unplug electronic devices while not in use (232b). Moves are being made to slow down carbon emissions. “The Kyoto Protocol requires developed countries to restrict emissions of carbon dioxide by 95% every year” (232c). Once the countries restrict the carbon emissions this will reduce the greenhouse gases. A few plans are already in place to decrease carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. One way would be a Carbon Tax, which…

Colorado gets about 15.9 inches of rainfall per year. Rain used to be one of the best things that could happen in this state, but as humans pollute our world more and more, rain is becoming harmful. Our precious rainfall is becoming more and more acidic, which is causing harm to plants, wildlife, buildings, and humans. This acidic rain is commonly referred to as acid rain and more properly known as acid deposition. This research will thoroughly examine acid rain, it’s causes, the effects on the…

Overview The Earth goes through many natural changes like sea levels slightly changing, earthquakes, and tornadoes. Global warming has greatly increased and became one of biggest contributors to the changes on the Earth. Immediately I decided I wanted to learn more about global warming. Global warming has changed climate a lot since when I was younger. Right now it is December 18th and we have no snow. I think this is the first winter that we have had no snow; usually there is so much that we…
