that disrupts the hormonal system when it deeply penetrates the skin. Inorganic ultraviolet chemical filters such as zinc oxide and titanium oxide reflect and scatter the ultraviolet radiation to protect skin. Other ingredients include preservatives (e.g. parabens derivatives), coloring agents (e.g. ammonium sulphate, copper powder, ferric ammonium ferrocyanide, iron and zinc oxides, etc.), film forming agents (e.g. acrylates and acrylamides), surfactants, chelators, viscosity controllers (e.g.…
that gets into contact with a vehicle the rustier it’s gets. Water from precipitation puts oxygen and carbon dioxide in contact with metal car parts. Free-floating ions in road salt come in contact with water. These ions helps the formation of iron oxide. Rust starts…

Approximately twelve percent of American’s suffer form some form of a migraine ("Migraine Facts - Migraine Research Foundation"). Around six to seven percent of men, and about twenty percent of women experience a piercing headache that leaves them on bed rest for four to six days throughout the year (Mitchell, et al.). This particular condition causes over “112 million bedridden days per year” (Evans, et al.). Treatment sought out by individuals who experience migraines “exceeds $24 billion…
Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) has many different forms which may lead to serious problems associated with surgery and anesthesia (1). Although, the sole use of central neuraxial anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks seem to be safer than general anesthesia in adult patients with CMD), the majority of these techniques require deep sedation or general anesthesia in children (2). A 6.5-year-old girl with the diagnosis of merosin-positive CMD (weight 23 kg, height 123 cm) was scheduled for…
and industrial production bring waste gases in contact with a sorbent that reacts and absorbs the sulfur dioxide. Another option is changing the way power plants burn coal and fossil fuels to reduce the nitrogen oxide created from the combustion. Methods to help mitigate nitrogen oxide emissions from cars is by the use of catalytic converters attached to the exhaust system that transform NO2 and carbon monoxide into CO2 and water. The Clean Air Act encourages the development and sale of…
those battling rust or looking for wear-resistant coatings, here are some common questions to consider. What causes rust on metal? Rust on metal is caused by surface metal atoms and molecules forming metal oxides in the presence of oxygen and water. Originally, rust was simply a synonym for ion oxides. Now, it is used as a general term to describe metal corrosion. Metal can rust at certain rates depending on its surface area and environment. The environments that cause…

affected directly by human activities namely carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons. Water vapour is also a major greenhouse gas, but its concentration in the atmosphere is not influenced directly by human activities.” (Climate Change in Australia, 2015). The future human civilisation will be threatened by rising atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. Roughly, agriculture activities were worth 15% of the global…
though you know people who are allergic to it, act like they’re benefitting! Do you know that the average human being is now made up over 80% water? In other words, being a decent social human being and coming into contact with second-hand dihydrogen oxide might just be the way to wind up socializing with the maggots in your casket, Mr. Somebody. We must all lock ourselves into our rooms, dehydrate ourselves, take down the evil humidifier industry that poisons our air, and boycott the…
