DDT

After the banning of Monsanto’s creation DDT in the United States, Monsanto thought out to create an alternative product. DDT was directly linked to cancer. This is also a worry for their current brands, Roundup and Round up Ready crops. Round up is a herbicide, while round up ready crops are specifally enginerrd crops made for round…

Lung Cancer is the leading cancer killer of both men and women in America. 90% of the time lung cancer is caused by smoking. The purpose of this research paper is to inform and teach others about lung cancer, the causes and risk this disease has; as well as how it can affect us and our lungs, and how people who smoke affect themselves and the people that surround them. The lungs are an important part in our body.The air that comes into the body through the lungs contains oxygen and other gases…

substances, such as sulfur, mercury, lead, arsenic (calcium arsenate and lead arsenate), and ash. The modern era of pesticides was developed in 1940, around the time of World War II. Organochlorine compounds, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), was the first synthetic organic pesticide to be introduced. These pesticides quickly replaced the inorganic pesticides because they were…

to appear independently from their company and speak about climate change, toxins, and other controversial matters. This is not a film about climate change and how it is going to affect us, it isn’t a film on why smoking is bad or why chemicals like DDT should be banned; it is simply about the illusionary tactics used repeatedly by businesses to mislead the public about the conclusiveness of science that would be detrimental to their company’s profit. Climate scientists who are also climate…

GMOs are a Necessity for Society Every four seconds someone dies of starvation or malnutrition; more than half of those deaths are children. The population is still growing and some way of combating the issue of malnutrition and world hunger is desperately needed before they become even more serious. That is where genetically modified organisms (GMOs) come in. GMOs are fruits or vegetables that have been modified on a genetic level in order to turn on traits that make them more beneficial. Being…

Garrett Hardin (1915-2003) – He was a known scholar who took the fields of ecology and microbiology. One of his major works that was accomplished during his lifetime was an essay called, “The Tragedy of the Commons” in 1968. It delves into problems that will be and is currently being encountered by the human race about our excessive overuse of Earth's resources and its increase from the rising population. This had an impact in that it led into multiple debate and addressing of political issues.…

killing the baby’s. This was not good at all for our national symbol. Luckily we had ESA the bald eagle population is more than 7,000 breeding pairs of bald eagles today. We now have the captive breeding programs, habitat protection, and we have a ban on DDT contribution to successful recovery of this American symbol. The Eagle has made a major comeback thanks to the great work of the ESA and American citizens, scientist and the United States government. These diverse great groups to help…

people running out to build houses on the tundra. Development is not a major problem, nor is there much pressure from human populations. The biggest threats come from airborne pollutants, which have brought measurable levels of pollutants such as DDT and PCB's to even remote areas. The biggest threat, however, is from oil and gas development and the resulting global warming. With global temperatures on the rise the tundra will undergo some major changes that end up acting as positive feedback…

these burdens, allow me to focus on providing competent and compassionate medical care, and enable me to be proud of the system I would serve. My undergraduate honor’s thesis on the effects of disrupted copper homeostasis and exposure to pesticides DDT and DDE on Alzheimer Disease phenotypes in Drosophila models, my graduate work in the humanities, and my extensive clinical experiences make me an ideal candidate with a broad set of knowledge and…

the, ‘next big fix’, but it could also lead to many problems we aren’t sure about but rushed into it without adequate testing. Spraying other things into the air sounds scary enough and would for sure lead to consequences we didn’t expect. Similar to DDT and the other various chemicals we used/use that were ‘safe’ for humans, I’m sure after years of doing this something bad would come of it. Storing the carbon underground also just sounds weird to me. Taking something that is being polluted into…
