him the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1918. This invention was in fact, a breakthrough (wipo.int). Ammonia, which consists of nitrogen and hydrogen, is used as an explosive and as a fertilizer. In the late 1800s, most of the world’s nitrogen was mined and exported from the county of Chile. This sole source of fertilizer was a concern to many political leaders. Also, Chile couldn’t keep up with worldwide demand…

70% of the world’s fresh water is used for agriculture, mainly for irrigation. The water systems have also been contaminated by fertilizers and pesticides used for growing crops. This leads to eutrophication (massive growth of algae bloom) due to phosphorus and death of aquatic animals. Moreover, agriculture contributes directly to 12-16 % of global greenhouse gases, which leads to…

degradation. 1. As we build more farm for planting usage, many forest had been damaged.It may further lead to soil erosion. 2. Pesticide and fertilizer used destroy the soil’s natural properties, not to mention that the lives of aquatic creature being harmed at the same time. B. Agriculture practices had emitted green house gases from the materials used. 1. Fertilizer used contain nitrogen which will further increase the rate of nitrogen oxide and cause greenhouse effect. 2.

The fluoride cavity-prevention fraud originated in the U. S. in 1939, when scientist, Gerald J. Cox (an employee of ALCOA, the largest producer of toxic fluoride waste in the country) who was being threatened at that time by personal claims of personal fluoride damage) fluoridated his laboratory rats and incorrectly concluded that sodium fluoride reduced dental cavities and, therefore, claimed it should be added to municipal water supplies in the United States (one giant leap for mankind). In…

Often, chemical fertilizers like lead, mercury and arsenic containing organic compounds are used in the crops. They contaminate the soil by changing their physical and chemical properties. As a result of such kind of pollution in the soil, the growth of crops and plants decreases. In commercial agriculture to get maximum yield, weed-killers and insecticides etc. are being widely used. Use of inorganic chemical fertilizers is also increasing day by day. Chemicals such…

slash-and-burn method is a method of agriculture where vegetation is cut down and burned off before new seeds are sown, and is typically used as a method for clearing forest land for farming. Vegetation is cut down and then burned, and the ash acts like a fertilizer, adding nutrients to the soil. After two to three years of slash-and-burn when the soil's fertility is exhausted, crops no longer grow well. The soil has been leached and nutrients have been washed out of the topsoil. Had…

with the use of man-made, chemical pesticides, synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or bioengineering. In order for animal products to be considered organic, the animal could not have been administered growth hormones or antibiotics. The conventional method of farming uses an array of different chemically made, synthetic pesticides including herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides as well as a variety of fertilizers infused with chemicals and man-made products. The exact types and…
