Marine Science 04.03 Sharaad Britt 1. Some of the common symptoms of food poisoning: • Some of the common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and respiratory distress. • Based on the above symptoms I think brevetoxin , which is produced by Karenia brevis would be responsible for the outbreak. Karenia brevis (K. brevis), a marine algae, causes red tides. 2. A HAB outbreak can have an economic impact: • HAB can affect tourism, public health, jobs, public…

Water sustains humans and animals with life. The quality of water is important. If it is poor, it can cause changes in the ecosystem. Rivers and other water sources are being polluted with nitrates, especially the Raccoon River in Iowa. Nitrates are dangerous and can come from rural farms to urban cities. Nitrates come from fertilizers used on farms. Rain and storms cause the nitrates to flow into rivers and creeks. Many farmers do not know this. “The river was just water, as far as we were…

from farms. The cause for runoff is rain and the rain washes away all pesticides, which enter into lakes and rivers: “In both cases, heavy spring rains washed away tons of fertilizer from farms. The runoff drained into rivers that fed the lake. Phosphorus in the fertilizer spurred cyanobacteria growth. Hot summers and other factors made matters worse” (Kowalski 34). As a result of pesticide entering into lakes and rivers farmers must reduce their use of pesticide. The main contaminant causing…

strong enough to withstand the pulling force exerted upon it. Mineral and Energy Storage: The outer layers of bony tissues are used for the storage of minerals, primarily calcium and phosphorus. Deposits and withdrawals of mineral ions from bone are continuous, which helps to maintain blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Yellow marrow, found in the shaft of long bones and other mature bones, consists mostly of fat and serves as an energy…

of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, and the launch of the nitrogen in the wastewater has changed dramatically from the global nitrogen cycle. The Nitrogen & Phosphorus Cycle Video Describes the desperate need of many organisms have on the food specifically nitrogen and phosphorus, and how to go about getting it through the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. The air is Nitrogen of 78%, animals urine feces and corpses release it into the soil that is broken down by bacteria that live in nodules of…

Introduction The starch factory stream is located in Proctor Park in Utica, NY. This stream eventually flows into the Mohawk River. It is located on the Mohawk River watershed. The Mohawk River Watershed contains “4,086 miles of fresh water rivers and streams.” (McGivern 1). A water shed is the section of land in which run off “drains” into a “common outlet” (Lattuca 123 and Raven et.al. 66). The Environmental lab students conducted this study to answer few questions like: is the water less…

Phosphorus is generally done to control eutrophication. Treatment plant effluent discharge limit have ranged from 0.10-2.5 mg/L. In the biological removal of phosphorus in the influent wastewater is incorporated into cell biomass, which subsequently is removed from the process as a result of sludge wasting. Phosphorous reduction in WWTP…

According to Kick the Can, an average American drinks around 45 gallons of diet soda and other sugary beverages every year. Fast food restaurants, pharmacist places, vending machines and so many places all around America are bursting at the seams with diet soda. Diet sodas literally can harm human’s body on many levels from head to toe. Almost people know that soda is not a healthful drink, but they might not realize how much it can damage their health. The caffeine can have disadvantageous…

as wells into the Everglades which is part of Native American reserves. Phosphates are a fertilizing material containing compounds of phosphorus.” It’s hard to live off the land like my grandparents used to,” said Houston Cypress. “The South Florida Water Management District currently allows discharges of water into the Everglades that contains 9 times more phosphorus than allowed under the Clean Water Act. This creates what is called nutrient pollution that causes harmful algae blooms.”…
