Berylliosis is an occupational lung disease. It occurs in people who work with beryllium (beryllium is an element of the periodic table, is used to make things like airplanes, x-rays or nuclear reactors. It is found in coal in the ground.) And have the same allergic sensitivity. The workers are the most affected of all. It is the staff working in the nuclear sector. This cause is because the people inhale the air so the beryllium goes into the longs and they are affected. There are Pros and…

solid, liquid or gas and the oxidizer, the source of oxygen can also be a solid liquid or gas. A new chemical substance is created from the fuel and source of oxygen. These new chemical substances are referred to as exhaust. For combustion to occur, a fuel, oxygen and heat are required. In an alkane, the more carbon atoms that are present, the more heat that is produced because of combustion. Examples of Alkane Fuels: • Methane – main alkane present in natural gas (e.g. North Sea gas) •…

happened after a fracking well had been in operation nearby for a period of time. Mr. Ely of Pennsylvania signed a leasing contract with a major oil and gas company and after speaking with the salesman for the company “felt certain it required the company to leave the property as good as new.” When the terms of the lease had come to an end, Cabot Oil and Gas told the Ely’s that instead of removing the waste from their drilling efforts, they would “cover it with dirt and seed the area with…

these greenhouse gases has increased dramatically in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. According to the the EPA (The US Environmental Protection Agency), the largest sources of greenhouse gas emission in the United States of America are, electricity, making up around 30% of all greenhouse gas-emitting…

Causes and Impact of Global Warming Climate changes have a long term impact to patterns of temperature, rain, snow, and wind. The shift in temperature creates global warming which is an average increase in temperature near the earth’s surface and the lowest layer of the atmosphere. The climate change affect people and the environment in many different ways. The idea on remaining vital with climate changes is to identify the social problem of environmental inequalities for the adaptations to…

With the growing population in the past years comes an increase in urbanization and industrialization, thus increasing the number of buildings in urban areas and consequently this means an overall rise in energy usage by the people. The increase in population and amount of people moving into urban areas is occurring at an alarming rate, but this doesn’t come as a surprise. Ever since 1950 this has been occurring. From 1950 to 1986 there was an increase from 600 million to 2 billion people…

has generated gradual but hopefully exponential progress in the desirable direction. There is currently 54 coal to gas projects in the works that would provide cleaner burning natural gas for the northwestern region of China, and eliminate some of the heavy pollutants found from burning coal. Unfortunately as we have learned the process of collecting and refining this natural form of gas can be just as atrocious as the negative effects of coal. Secondly believe it or not China has actually…

The innocence of a child is something nothing can compare to, we would never think to harm them or put them in danger. They are fragile, they have no defense other than a parents protection and love. But what if the resources they needed to survive slowly started disappearing and thing things that brought us joy were taken away from them because of the people that said they would never hurt them. Can we apologize in advance for something we turned away from because we felt it wasn 't our problem…

fracturing, is a process used to obtain natural gas from shale rock formations. This type of drilling is used with another type called “horizontal drilling” (The Pennsylvania Guide to Hydraulic Fracturing, or "Fracking). A common question that arises is “Why is fracking being done?” The answer is simple and a quote by Jeremy Grantham perfectly explains this question. The quote is “The world is using up its natural resources at an alarming rate…” Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource so the…
