Industrial waste

At the beginning of time, God gave us this beautiful Earth that sustains every individual upon its surface. It provides us with the oxygen we need to breathe, as well as the water we drink which is needed to replenish and keep our bodies hydrated. It supplies the food necessary to stimulate and nourish our physical structures. All of it is a gift from God that man is wasting because of his lack of care of our planet. God gave us dominion over this world, He commanded all of us to fruitful and…

Environmental Pollution Pollution is the one of the biggest problem in the earth. Pollution means environmental bad effects which are harmful and dangerous for human life. It has changed our environment for past couple years, and it’s getting worse and worse. One big cause of pollution is that humans don’t care enough about our environment. There are many categories of pollution like water pollution, land pollution, and air pollution. On the other hand people don’t know four other big…

Brisbane River, which are amongst the most environmentally impacting and influential waterways to Moreton Bay () More specifically, Wynnum creek catchment can be described as a small costal waterway comprising of open public space, rural residential, industrial, commercial developments and a golf course (Know your creek Wynnum Creek Catchment, 2015); emptying directly into Moreton Bay (Bayside Creek Catchment Group, 2011 ). Throughout the course of two weeks, a designated area was study within…

well as plant and animals. Threats to the environment come from two sources, pollution and resource depletion. Pollutions can be refers as the undesirable and unintended contamination of the environment by human activities, such as manufacturing, waste disposal, burning fossil, etc. Resources depletion refers to the consumption of finite or scarce. On the other hand, resources depletion refers to the consumption of finite or scarce resources. In a certain sense, pollution is really a type of…

From the few beach trips in the past 17 years, seeing garbage ruined the relaxation. Thinking thoughts of how people could possibly litter by the shore or all the sewage being dumped into the ocean. These problems date back to the Industrial Evolution for more technology was being created to speed up and increase production. The first negative pollution was the smog created from burning coal in the 18th and 19th century. Just like air pollution, our water has been faced with a similar issue.…

environment are called pollutants. There are many different types of Pollution that need to be addressed, and one of them is the issue on water pollution. Contamination of water, typically by foreign matter such as microorganisms, chemicals, industrial or other wastes, or sewage. “Water pollution can be divided into two general types, surface water pollution and groundwater pollution, depending on whether the release is purely on the surface or infiltrates the soil and enters the subsurface”…

When we were younger we were always told to clean up our messes. As we got older, it still holds true, for us individuals. But what about us as a collective, or the human race. Does that simple rule of cleaning up messes still hold true? Oceans take up a large portion of the earth’s surface, and were once seen as an all-encompassing, limitless reservoirs, quite able to bear the brunt of the human race. This, however, is not true as is becoming increasingly apparent. Over a few decades, humans…

affecting people and animals in different ways. The way mercury is increasing more and more in the water and in animals, all around the world mercury will be a problem if companies don't know to control the distribution of methyl-mercury. Sewage waste will get worse than it already is to the point where people won't be able to go in the water at all because they could get infections or diseases, but this won't happen if more and more people start to learn about ocean pollution and help in…

and asphalt (IDPH, 2009). The most common way that PAHs enter the body is through breathing air that contaminated with the PAHs such as tobacco smoke, fumes from vehicle exhaust, wildfires,coal, asphalt,coal tar, agricultural burning and hazardous waste sites. Eat or drink food and water contaminated with PAHs. Also, exposure occurs if an individual skin contacts PAH-contaminated soil or products like heavy oils, coal tar, roofing tar, or creosote. A study showed that PAHs compounds have caused…

The Minamata Convention on Mercury was in response to industrial contamination of the environment resulting in significant health disturbances in the native population. The convention includes the control and reduction of mercury producing processes such as coal-fired power plants, cement plants, industrial boilers and waste incinerators (Murphy, 2016). The mercury emissions are not contained within a boundary and result in global pollution…
