Coal dust

that it will retire eight coal-fired electric generating units in Michigan by 2023 in which is 25% of the total electricity produced by the company in 2015. Nearly 18GW of electric generating capacity were retired in 2015, and more than 80% of that was coal-fired. Coal, however, holds a 26% share of the U.S. power capacity, and generation is expected to increase in 2017. With the recent change in government officials, President Trump is leaning towards helping coal by adding stability and…

to use coal. But, others don’t think the same because the rocks are natural and they don’t think they should be messed with. Now in some scenarios it is bad, but overall I think it's a great concept with not as much pollution to the world. My factual evidence is basically it comparing to coal. Now coal is extremely dangerous because burning coal causes smog, soot, and acid rain. Burning…

Part of the reason is because the company lies to miners that the dust is harmless. Another reason is that company hide the truth of harmful agent has already infect these miner’s body. Arthur Bundrock, a miner who has work in the mine for 19 years, was die from asbestos fiber on 1998. His whole family was infected because he brought the dust back to home from the mine. His son, Bill, was also diagnosed from X-ray to have asbestosis before the company…

Matthew Hill, who is part of the CSRIOseven, works with Advanced materials in Melbourne. He and his team of scientists have been developing a new material called Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs). This material has the potential to revolutionise the way we dispose and store various gases like carbon dioxide. This material has been tested and proven to filter pollution and provide cost effective solutions for energy use. Metal Organic Frameworks may look like ordinary salt or sugar crystals;…

Neutrinos are one of the most abundant particles in the universe second only to photons, yet they are one of the most elusive particles known to man. The neutrino is essentially a near massless subatomic particle possessing a neutral charge. Neutrinos scarcely interact with normal matter as a consequence of having a neutral charge and a mass of almost zero. There are three flavors of neutrinos: electron, tau, and muon; many neutrinos oscillate between these flavors. Neutrinos can be produced in…

If you are currently in the process of replacing your roof, you should replace your gutters as well. Here are the top three most popular types of gutters that you can have installed on your home. Seamless Gutter Systems Seamless gutter systems are one of the most popular gutter systems installed on homes today.As the name suggests, these types of gutters do not have any seams along them that you have to worry about bursting opening, leaking and needed repaired. Seamless gutters are created by…

footprint compared to the search for coal, oil and operating other renewable energy sources. CO2 emissions are expected to rise by 60% in 2030 if global government plans keep allowing industries to spend hundreds of billion dollars on coal power stations (Green Peace), the largest threat to climate change that we are facing. Coal-fired power plants currently fuel 41% of the world’s electricity, with 93% of South Africa’s energy deriving from coal (World Coal Association 2012). There are no CO2…

A metalloid is a chemical element. Because of the name, most people would believe that a metalloid is metal, but that is incorrect. A metalloid only has some of the qualities that metals have. Two examples of metalloids would be germanium and silicon. These metalloids are used in everyday life, and our lives would be very much different without them. Germanium was discovered in the year of 1886 by a chemist named Winkler. The metalloid was named after Germany. When germanium is purified, it is a…

Uranium is a chemical element that is naturally radioactive. Its symbol is U. Uranium is a radioactive silvery-white metallic element of the actinide series. Uranium has 235 isotopes. Most nuclear power plants use uranium as fuel because its atoms are easily split part. Uranium generates the heat in nuclear power reactors, and produces the fissile material for nuclear weapons. Deposits of uranium are found in China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Namibia, Greenland, South Africa, United…

Coal is used around the world as one of the most popular energy sources. It is used in multiple different ways such as, most of the energy used in the United States and used in large quantities in factories to run machines (.orrg). Though coal is used in everyday life without even being known most of the time, it doesn’t mean that it will always be around. Coal is known are a nonrenewable source, which an energy source that once it is depleted it will take thousands of years to rebuild because…
