Oil Spillage A devastated man-made environmental disaster is an oil spillage in the ocean . An oil spill is a release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into environment due to human activity like boats above oil pipes or rigs and its a form of pollution. Other form of oil spillage is marine oil spillage ,where oil is release into the ocean or coastlines. Oil spills is a release of crude oil from tankers, pipelines offshore platforms,drilling rigs. Spills may take months or years to clean up…

“The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.” - Winston S. Churchill. This period nonetheless, started a long time ago. What we all face today is the consequence of ‘Global Warming’, the result of our delays, isindeed catastrophic. The movie “An Inconvenient Truth” by Davis Guggenheim highlights Al Gore’s lecture circuit, as the former presidential candidate who…

Essential oils come from natural products – but they are powerful! If you are taking any medication, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please check with your doctor before you use essential oils. Some people have very sensitive skin or they may develop allergic reactions. So please do a skin test on the inside of your arm or on your leg (not on your face or neck). Remember that essential oils are very concentrated. For example, it needs 65 pounds of rose petals to get one single 15ml…

commercial volumes of natural gas from shale around the year 2000. www.eia.gov In many western states including Texas, Colorado and Oklahoma fracking has been associated with earthquakes, contaminated ground water, poor air quality due to seepage and evaporation, and health issues due to chemical contamination of both water and air. The reality is not what was…

themes in biology, regulation plays a key component in our everyday lives. For example, temperature regulation helps maintain homeostasis and also regulates oxygen levels. External heat transfers through mechanisms such as radiation, conduction, evaporation of perspiration, and convection. Under these mechanisms, your body begins to sweat to cool you off. The hypothalamus, a part of the brain, tells our bodies to emit sweat in order to cool us down. When the hypothalamus senses that your body is…

Droughts are prone during temperature climbs, due to the moisture that is drawn to the atmosphere through evaporation. According to NASA, the average global temperature of the Earth has roughly increased 0.8 degrees celsius since 1880, “with two thirds of the warming occuring since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade.” (NASA, n.d.) The data presented…

In the world today, there is a rush to develop and sell everything here in Florida. Developing land is seen as a wonderful thing, especially after the housing market crashed a few years ago. We often are in a rush to complete everything we do and do not consider the effect that we are having on the environment. I believe that if people would slow down and consider the effects we are causing in the environment, we can prevent or fix the problems that we are facing in the world today. I feel that…

Rather used for food, wine, or as a hospitable gesture, the pineapple, for centuries has been a great commodity worldwide. Although it is thought to have originated in the South American countries of Brazil and Paraguay, it was first discovered in the Caribbean island now known as Guadalupe. The discovery of pineapple in Guadalupe date back to 1493. Following their finding of the pineapple, Europeans attempted to take the plant back to Europe for cultivation. The lack of a tropical climate…

 Used Lubricant Regeneration Technology Most conventional processes for used lubricant regeneration involve physical separation and chemical treatments to remove the contaminants and impurities from used lubricants to make it suitable for re-use. Some of these technologies generate liquid effluents, solid wastes, and air emissions during the regenerating process. The types of wastes, effluents, and wastes vary with the technology and processes used, and the environmental control methods [CEPA,…
