Global also needs to be sustained from dangerous threats that can cause damage to environments and hurt societies. The major concerns in the world is pollution and nuclear energy. In the article, “Environmental Pollution: An Underrecognized Threat to Children’s Health, Especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries” by the Environmental Health Perspectives explains the differences of income countries that are encountering pollution. Any type of exposure to environmental pollutants in early…

Southern University Introduction Benzene is a hydrocarbon that is highly flammable. The hydrocarbon is used in many industrial processes. Statistics indicate that it is among the top 20 chemicals that are widely used in different industries across the world. The substance has wide application in oil and gas industry. As a matter of fact, it is used in making various types of lubricants. Benzene can be formed through natural processes such volcano eruptions. The compound can also be created…

Environmental Issues Waste water generation: The wastewater produced during the chemical processes contains high concentration of chemicals such as bisulfites, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfide, chlorine dioxide, hydrochloric acid, calcium oxide etc which is potentially unsafe to purge directly into the environment. Sludge by waste water treatment: The significant solid wastes such as lime mud, lime slaker grits, green liquor dregs, boiler and furnace ash, scrubber sludges,…

The food and beverage manufacturing industry is an important industry in Canada. It is the largest manufacturing industry in Canada in terms of value of productions and shipment. The industry is worth $92.9 billion. This industry employs 290,000 people. It accounts for approx. 2% of the national gross domestic product (GDP). This industry has grown approx. 0.2 % per year since 2007. This industry supplies 75% of all processed foods in Canada. It is the largest buyer of agriculture production…

It also requires much less land and water than most crops. Likewise, as the author of Hemp: Lifeline to the Future Chris Conrad says it’s also “self-seeding, self-fertilizing, and self-weeding.” In addition, hemp doesn’t require the harmful chemicals that most commercial products need and it actually aerates the soil while improving soil conditions for other crop rotations. Hemp provides an ideal for free market capitalism with a diversity of products and a theoretically limitless supply. Yet…

ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY IN SINGAPORE INTRODUCTION Singapore Electronic Industry started 50 years ago in the 1960s with its first and only TV Assembly plant in Southeast Asia. And today, Singapore Electronic Industry has become the backbone of Singapore’s economy, contributing 5.3% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2013, 29% of total manufacturing output, and employed 80,000 workers, representing 19% of the total manufacturing labour force in Singapore (EDB, n.d). Due to the…

2) The border of the prosperous industrial core of Europe is centered in the heart of the continent, surrounded by a less industrialized periphery. From north to south, it stretches from Italy to the limits of the North Sea. However, in this core we see high levels of deindustrialization and in England. Deindustrialization is a process where companies move industrial jobs to other regions that offer cheaper labor. As a result, it leaves the recently deindustrialized region to convert to a…

Agriculture and industry have traditionally been considered as two separate sectors both in design and for its role in economic growth. It has been estimated that agriculture is the characteristic element of the first stage of development, whereas we used the degree of industrialization as the most relevant indicator of development of a country on the path of development. Furthermore, it has often say that the appropriate development strategy is one that allows more or less gradually move from…

5:00 am breeze, blue uniforms, red tool boxes, and noise above 80 decibels, in year 2013, factory floors at the American manufacturing facilities accounted for 12.5% of the total gross domestic product. US manufacturing has come a long way, from cotton and Tabaco production in 1800 to modern day airplanes of the 20th century. Last two decades have seen unprecedented growth in automation in manufacturing facilities, however, internet of things (IoT) will be a new revolution to promote smart…

anywhere within their reach, weld simple and complex parts together, and use sensors to inspect material or parts at any point in the manufacturing process. Although robotic arms and automation are a newer technology, both are taking the manufacturing industry by storm. Unskilled laborers are being replaced with safer and more reliable robots. A robotic machining cell containing one or two robotic arms and a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) mill can replace the workers who move the material,…
