Comparing the Absorptivity of Two Sequestration Agents Macy Freireich* & Alekhya Geddan ABSTRACT In this experiment it was decided which sequestration agent, charcoal or magnetic bentonite clay, was more effective at absorbing the PAH model, Procion Red MX-5B. By way of spectrophotometry, the collected absorptivity and concentration values of each of the diluted samples of the Porcion Red MX-5B were graphed and evaluated in comparison to the measured absorptivity of the dye extracted from…

We see trash every day without paying attention. At times we don’t even realize how much trash is thrown away daily. It can be as small as a toothpick, to as big as a vehicle. If you live in a country like the United States of America where plastic, batteries, and other things are thrown away daily, chances are that an average family of four people, can produce as much as twenty pounds of waste per month. People just throw away trash without knowing where that stuff will end up. Solid waste…

a) Another example of how humans have impacted the stimulus coastal environment is urban development of the coastline. The increased amount of people living near the coast has resulted in more residential construction along the coast and the development of sand dunes for 'prime' real estate and recreational purposes. This has had devastating effects on Australia’s coastline including the damaging effects on the sand dunes that protect the inland areas during times of high energy storms. The…

Number 1:The Ordovician Silurian extinction This extinction happened about 439 million years ago because of a drop in sea levels as glaciers formed. An ice age has been blamed for the cause of the extinctions. A large ice sheet in the southern hemisphere caused climate change and a decrease in sea levels. A combination of this lowering of sea level caused a reduction in ecospace on continental shelves, and the cooling caused by the glaciation itself are some of the big factors for the…

Every decision you make, you have to think of the consequences of your decision. You have to think about what would make the best profit, but what wouldn’t close local businesses.
