Over 1.2 trillion gallons of untreated sewage and industrial waste are dumped into US water each year. Because of this, about 40% lakes are too contaminated for aquatic life, fishing or even for swimming in America. It’s disappointing how every eight seconds a child dies from drinking contaminated water. Also, it hurts how thousands of marine creatures die by swallowing plastic bags thinking they are jellyfishes. Terry Swearingen once said, “We are living on the planet as if we have another one…

The origin of T and B lymphocytes is through the lymphoid progenitors derived from the pluripotent stem cells within the bone marrow. Differentiation of cells that leave the bone marrow and proceed to the thymus include T lymphocytes (TL), as mature T lymphocytes will leave the thymus. Differentiation of cells that remain within the bone marrow include B lymphocytes (BL), as mature B lymphocytes leave the bone marrow and go to the secondary lymphoid organs. The production of BL begins in the…

Using Landfills vs. Recycling: Which Is More of a Waste? The method of using landfills to dispose of waste has been used for many centuries. The trend of recycling has been a growing alternative process in the past few decades. With the average person generating more than 4.3 pounds of waste each day, it is important for people to understand which method will serve as a viable procedure for a more sustainable world (Center for Sustainability & Commerce ). Yet, these two methods are known to…

Carbon and Ecological Footprints The Carbon Footprint is a measurement system to find out the amount of greenhouse gases we emit due to human activities starting from individuals to the whole population of the Earth in a given amount of time, and is stated in tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). It is basically the sum of carbon dioxide emissions generated due to our activities and is typically measured per year. The activities could either be from an individual, organization, event, product, city,…

transport equations are solved. One advantage of the DO model is that it takes into account the directional dependence of radiation and spans the complete range of optical thickness. So it can include the effects of anisotropy, semi-transparent walls, particulate effects, etc. A possible disadvantage of this model is that it becomes even more computationally intensive for finer angular discretization. The DO model is not used in the current case due to its inclusion of directional dependence of…

The Cause and Effect of Land and Air Pollution What is pollution? Well pollution is a term we hear a lot and that we are accustomed to but what does is it really mean. (Conserve Energy) We hear about pollution a lot but could you tell me what it is if I asked you? Well I know that pollution is the introduction of a harmful substance to the environment. Pollution is the most reused word used to describe the destruction of the natural air we breathe in and the water we drink and land we live on.…

“It seemed as if a fresh breeze had blown in from somewhere out-of-doors and was making the curtains around the bed billow and glow. The air in the room eddied about her head and Akiko watched its particulates glitter in the moonlight like a bloom of phosphorescence on the incoming tide” (Ozeki 305). The use of words such as “billow and glow” and “bloom of phosphoescence” in this quote show that there is no question that Akiko is going through a spiritual…

tasks. For example, data beginning from 2007 shows a pattern in expanding hours of operation in King County Flood Warning Center. When it comes to health impacts King County website demonstrates how in the last 10 years there has an increase in air particulates surpassing the Particle Matter Size that is 2.5 concentration standard has been diminishing. This is leading to major health impacts to residents. Data shows that in Seattle between 1980-2006 the danger of death and mortality increased…

The ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia came as a shock to many around the world. Thousands of people were slaughtered not only by the Serbian government, but also by their neighbors and former friends. Although a tragedy the genocide was not much of a surprise looking at the history of the region. Tensions had been running high between the Serbs, Croats, Bosnians and Ethnic Albanians. The reason for the Genocide was similar to many before it; kill the unwanted minority in order to create…

(Paints, solvents and household cleaning products emit volatile organic compounds and other fumes; and stoves and fireplaces emit carbon monoxide and smoke particulates). Buildings also contain dust based pollutants. Since the “GREAT SMOG OF LONDON” in 1952 which killed 12,000 people in 4 days, the UK government have been committed to reducing air pollution. Many measures were put in place. Including the clean…
