clandestine methamphetamine lab at the La Vista motel, a brief shutdown to the west wing of the motel needs to take effect until further investigation transpires. Methamphetamine is a very toxic substance and has detrimental health effects. To ensure the public’s safety, the necessary procedures need to be taken into effect immediately to decrease the risk of adverse health effects. Meth is an intense, long-acting, physical and mental stimulant that is exceptionally addictive. In its completed…
Nitrogen Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide levels indicate a lot about human activity. Our actions effect the environment in many ways. Instruments such as OMI, MOPITT, and AIRS study the effect of these gases on the climate. The release of NO2 and CO in the atmosphere depends on human activity. Furthermore, these gases have many severe effects on our health. Exposure to these gases can be prevented if proper steps are taken. Ozone Measuring Instrument (OMI) can distinguish between aerosol types,…
to the reduction of lead exposure after the late seventies. In this paper, I will be focusing on the environmental side of the debate since it is a relatively new approach at explaining the decline in crime. The non-environmental theory for the drop in crime rates has support from a lot of literature because it focuses on those factors that more or less affect crime directly. Levitt (2004), for example, found that the most…
the walls; they includes fossils collected mostly in the western US and all over Kansas. The museum also has exhibits of minerals and videos that explain the museum history; and its famous ‘fish within a fish’ fossil collection history included. 2 Exposure to Formaldehyde Formaldehyde (FA) is a gas that is flammable, colourless and has a pungent noticeable odour. It usually reacts with cellular macromolecules such as deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and proteins (Murta et al, 2016). A curator may…
determine the effect of certain toxins on ciliary movement using paramecium as an organism model. As Figure 1 shows, all the toxins have a different effect on paramecium velocity and therefore on ciliary activity. According to Fig. 1 paramecium speed is inversely proportional to time. After the addition of Ni2+ (toxin A) at approximately 0.1Mm (0.099), the velocity of paramecium decreased gradually until it fully stopped after 1800 seconds (Fig. 1). It suggests that Ni2+ has a gradual effect…
Guinn_ENVM510_M7GradedAssign Air Pollution and Birth Outcome Exposure Assessment of Environmental Pollutants Challenges of exposure assessment in environmental epidemiology Environmental epidemiologist is charged with the task of accurately linking environmental hazards to adverse health outcome in order to protect the public. This task has inherent challenges in that, a recorded exposure does not automatically preclude a harmful health outcome. The challenges of exposure assessment…
that would feed on crops; however, exposure of these dangerous chemicals have been known to be detrimental to human health. Nevertheless, they are continued to be used in our society today. Why? Perhaps, we have become too attached to its seemingly positive effects on food preservation and distribution, and the management of rodents and other pests it seem to keep away. We should ask ourselves is the negative implications of pesticides really with the positive effects? I don’t think so. I…
metals, their co-exposure in the environment, use of various bioassays and prediction model to study the mixture toxicity were also reviewed. 2.1. Introduction 2.1.1. Human health and environment Environment plays a major role in human health and well-being. Human exposure to…
In the month of child abuse awareness, it feels like an obligation to talk about violence among children, and to try to understand its causes and some of the possible effects. In a society where more than ever children are raising themselves, where humanity is anesthetized and violence becomes as normal as breathing, it is necessary to analyze what led to this social immunity towards the problem. It turns out to be compulsory to understand, in order to prevent and reeducate. Children with…
Kevin Arceneaux and Martin Johnson dive into the much-researched topic of “media effects.” The book begins with an explanation of the rise in number of television channels and the shift towards partisan news outlets. Historically, media effects research veers from the “hypodermic needle” model in which information from the media travels like an infection to the “minimal effects” conclusion and back to “contingent effects” where the framing and priming affect the audiences’ views (17-20). The…
