Particulate

Diesel Emissions and Cancer 2 Diesel engine emissions from shipping freighters is a large source of air pollution all over the world. The Great Lakes region of the United States has very high concentrations of air pollution from these toxic emissions. The air quality in this region is considered poor. Several studies have been done linking increased rates of lung cancer to these emissions. These large vessels (shipping freighters) rank second only to power plants as to the health risk…

Introduction: In the Fairbanks Northstar Borough the top air quality issues are particulate matter and indoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution may be many times more toxic and affect the old and young who may be at greatest risk of adverse health effects. My talents may, in fact, contribute to decreasing the levels of these hazards. The Fairbanks area is well known for a meteorological condition known as temperature inversion. This inversion of temperature, keeping warmer,…

Can you breathe? Inhale deeply; do you feel the oxygen filling your lungs with every breath? As you sit there, a small child sits in another room breathing in the same oxygen that expands and contracts from their tiny lungs, but not long ago those tiny lungs were at an even more miniscule scale of size and the small child was in the arms of a loving mother, wife to a dear husband. Their love is blatant, yet no amount of care and happiness can shield them from the air around them, for all need…

any substance other than breathable air impedes the perfusion in the alveoli, while the substance itself may also have damaging properties to the lung and airway tissues. Common aspirations include water, food, vomit, foreign objects or small particulates. The first three are easily introduced by the oropharynx by some sort of misdirection into the larynx rather than the esophagus. Children are extremely likely to choke and aspirate small objects, such as pebbles from the yard or pieces of…

comes from the toxins emitted by the construction equipment. According to the US EPA Clean Air Act Advisory Committee, “A single bulldozer engine can emit as much particulate matter as more than 500 cars”(Construction equipment, 2015). Construction equipment emits nitrogen oxide (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) (Gray, 2015). Water pollution can be caused by run offs from construction…

Introduction According to a study issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States generates approximately 251 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) a year. Out of the 251 million tons of MSW, 34.5% was recycled and composted. That is equivalent to the average American recycling and composting 1.51 pounds of their daily 4.38 pounds of MSW [1]. Of the 34.5% of MSW that is recycled, which equates to 86 million tons, 65 million tons of MSW was recycled, and 21…

such as air, water, and even nuclear. Some people stick to the more primitive methods such as coal burning. Which can release large amount of particulate matter and toxic gasses that inevitably contaminate the air around us. American Municipal Power Inc. had a station named Gorsuch Station which released tons of Sulfur oxides, Nitrogen Oxides, and particulate matter. Gorsuch station was a coal-fired power plant. Although they failed to obtain necessary permits and install controls for reducing…

can result in unprecedented extreme weather and climate events (IPCC, 2012). Especially in the Western United States, wildfires are increasing in frequency, duration, and severity. Wildfires are a major source of particulate matter in the air, mainly during the summertime. This particulate matter can increase the risk of lung cancer, cardiovascular disease and the development of asthma. Soil erosion and runoff caused by wildfires can contaminate water supplies and lead to a decrease in the…

This paper will talk about the differences between Diesel , and Automotives engine. Also what diesel, and automotives engines have in common. Rudolf Diesel was the one that invented Diesel engines. In his high school career, Rudolf was taking a automotives engine class. Rudolf with his information that he learn in high school. Rudolf wanted to created an engine that is more efficiently. In his own time Rudolf was creating a Combustion Diesel engine. In 1892 was the year that Rudolf invented…
