Among those metals are lead (PB), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr), and arsenic (As). These metals exist broadly throughout the environment and are thought to be the most toxic of the heavy metals associated with human health. “With the development of industrialization and urbanization…
makes rapid automatic bristle motions, either back-and-forth oscillation or rotation-oscillation , to provide oral cleaning service, removal dental plaque from the surface of teeth. Electric toothbrush generally powered by rechargeable battery or disposable battery. The functional unit for the electric toothbrush is 3 years per use where 2 times per day. The functional unit for the replaceable brush head is 3 months per use. We will study the case of Philips’s electric toothbrush. Philips is a…
traction batteries has imposed on other solutions such as gas, panels solar or biomass fuels. The reason? This is probably the least solution will change the concept car as we understand it today. "With the speed at which technology advances on batteries, the autonomy and performance of a car in a few years Electric deemed equivalent to a gasoline "says Communications Director Renault in Spain, Jesus Presa. We have a very close precedent: "Less than a decade mobile phones had enormous batteries…
those individuals who do not own a vehicle. I believe that the importance of cars that are electrical will reduce pollution because they do not make the same quantity of carbon in their cycle as internal-combustion engine; the must to change the batteries make them a lesser amount of green than the current technological industry. Also, many electric vehicles have a higher chance to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) and different greenhouse gases in the environment. Therefore, fuels that are harmful to…
In its most elementary form, a solar photovoltaic (PV) cell converts solar energy (photons) into electricity (voltage). A solar PV cell is comprised of two doped layers of semiconductor material and generates low-level voltage (less than 1 V). A solar PV module refers to a series of solar PV cells connected together (to generate higher voltage) and laminated into a durable package. A solar panel is formed from the interconnection of several solar PV modules. Finally, a solar PV system is made…
cigarettes in the United States was an estimated 40 million adults (“Smoking & Tobacco Use”). However, in the past couple of years, teens and adults has started the trend with the use of e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes are electronic cigarettes that include batteries and replaceable liquid cartridges for repeated use and do not use tobacco. Instead, e-cigarettes deliver the addictive drug, nicotine, to a user’s lungs by using a heating element to heat e-liquid from the refillable cartridge and…
the size of a toaster. Some of the parts used to create the first digital camera included a Super 8 movie camera lens, a digital cassette recorder, an analog to digital converter, experimental chips that converted light into electrons, and nickel cadmium batteries. The first picture Sasson took with the large camera took twenty-three seconds to…
Mixed contamination of PAHs and metals occur ubiquitously in the environment, but their combined toxicity to humans and other organisms are not fully addressed. The data from epidemiological, animal and in vitro studies indicated the nature of interaction between PAHs and metals varies from synergism to additivity or antagonism. In this chapter, the combined toxicity of PAHs and metals on toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic endpoints, and possible mechanism of actions were discussed. In addition,…
Chapter: Soil, Water and Air Pollution 1. Introduction: Definitions of soil, water and air pollution; sources and types of soil, water and air pollution, soil and water pollution status in India With rapid increase and development in industrial and agricultural sectors along with population explosion, huge amount of organic and inorganic waste is released in environment and causing serious threats to environment and agro-ecosystem. This procedure can bring about a danger in the human wellbeing.…
There is a study that done by Harvard students in which they observed pregnant women who were exposed to high levels of pollution. The effect that the children that were born were exposed to getting autism. Autism is an disorder that can affect brain development, cause abnormals behavior in a social environment, and cause speech impairments. Pollution also causes a lot of problems within the body such as heart disease, lung cancer, and asthma. Raising awareness for both of these problems can be…
