forklifts needn’t be the major source of carbon monoxide exposure in the warehouse since complete combustion of the fuel in adequate oxygen supply results in the formation of carbon(iv)oxide and water and no carbon monoxide is emitted. Inadequate oxygen results in incomplete combustion that results in the formation of carbon monoxide. Adjusting the air and fuel mixture will therefore ensure proper engine power fuel consumption as well as control engine carbon monoxide exhaust emission. The…

Wildfires can destroy wildlife habitat causing habitat fragmentation, diminishing timber and forestry health, polluting the air with carbon dioxide, dramatically altering watersheds, negatively effecting soil chemistry, and requiring large amounts of water during a drought to combat the fires. Habitat loss is the worldwide leading cause of loss of biodiversity, a metric used to describe…

What is global warming? Global warming is the increase of the overall average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. This gradual increase in temperature is caused mostly by greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere which include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and ozone. Normally, these gases are essential in the process of the greenhouse effect which is supposed to keep the Earth from being too hot or cold. Unfortunately, the amount of these gases in the atmosphere has…

INTRODUCTION Worldwide, air pollution is a growing threat to human health and the natural environment. One of the major effects of air pollution is acid rain and it is caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) gases. The combustion of high sulphur content fossil fuels can release harmful toxic gases into the air and therefore pose serious environmental problems. Coal, oil and natural gas are major energy resources available in environment where as fuel combustion processes and…

breakdown sugars into smaller structures so that the cell can use it as energy (Reece, et al. 2014). The main concept of the respiration lab is aerobic respiration. This is the process that organic compounds will be degraded from oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxides, and different forms of energy such as ATP (Reece, et al. 2014). Cellular respiration is important to life because breaking down sugars into usable energy enables living organisms to function to support their life. This topic…

States is one of the leading countries when it comes to deforestation only behind countries such as Brazil, Canada, and Russia. It is estimated that in 100 years, there will be no rainforests. Trees are critical to environmental health. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, provide shelter for wildlife and keep topsoil on the ground. Trees are often cut down to clear land for agricultural…

deforestation. As citizens living on this planet Earth, we have the responsibility to take actions that will keep it healthy and living if possible, which includes maintaining as much forestry alive as possible by keeping a steady amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In other words, to get an unsustainable item to be sustainable, it would be most helpful to follow the following sufficient tasks to benefit the unsustainable factor that is having maintenance, while not harming…

has heard the term global warming, but how is this major issue being defined? To many people, global warming is defined as the steady rise of the Earth’s temperature from an excess of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. To numberless others, global warming is simply that the climate change and carbon emission has nothing to do with it. While this last definition seems to be the easiest due to being less scary and not having to deal with the problem, it does not mean it is correct.…

Crop simulation model is an effective tools in understanding climate change effects on agricultural production systems (Masutomi et al. 2009; White et al. 2011). The modeling studies from Bangladesh (Karim et al. 1996), Japan (Horie et al. 2000), China (Shen et al. 2010), Korea (Lee et al. 2012) and India (Krishnan et al. 2007) reported the country-specific discrepancies in future rice yield due to climate warming; the highest decrease in rice yield will probably occur in most areas of low…

in the water (Solutions). Major causes of ocean acidification are high concentration of carbon dioxide, the industrial revolution, burning of fossil fuels and loss of biodiversity. The industrial revolution was a big producer of carbon dioxide and it began the steady increase of ocean acidity. That alone caused an increase of 30% in the oceans surface acidity (Ocean). Burning fossil fuels creates more carbon dioxide. The loss of biodiversity in the ocean weakens the…
