things that can slow down global warming effects and prevent more harm to ecosystem by showing readers glacier that melt in fast rate due to increased industrialism by humans. Gawande’s article helps me to understand that pollution not only can damage the earth, but pollutions can have direct effects on humans as well. He’s article of “The Cancer Cluster Myth”, implied impact of contamination (Both in water and on ground), and toxic waste on cancer cluster effect in some communities. Saukko’s…

A Superfund site is defined as any land in the United States that has been contaminated by hazardous waste. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified these sites as candidates for cleanup because they poses a risk to human health or the environment. Once a site is selected as a candidate, they are placed on a list called the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is used to prioritize the release or threatened releases of hazardous wastes in the United States. The EPA uses…

Finding most of their eggs broken and egg yolk leaking everywhere when they open the carton. I decided to try and figure out if another…

Scrapping and pollution. Despite shipbreaking being a profitable industry there are a number of environmental and human health hazards. A brief review in numbers shows that scrapped ships have an unlabeled weight of between 5,000 and 40,000 tons, 95% of which is steel, coated with between 10 and 100 tons of paint containing lead, cadmium, organotins, arsenic, zinc and chromium. Ships also contain a wide range of other hazardous wastes, sealants containing PCBs, up to 7.5 tons of various types…

The Gaia Foundation argues that ‘’contamination of water and ecosystems, disruption of rocks land stability, environment and food production will continue to affect the local people for many of years if the reclamation is not properly done’’ (Gaia Foundation, 2014, p.36).

One of those influences is Global Warming. There are individuals who debate the impacts of Global Warming, yet scientist has demonstrated that…
