Radioactive contamination

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.

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,…

Deforestation increase the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because when trees are burned carbon dioxide is released, carbon dioxide is also, released when trees are decomposed by microorganisms. Cutting down trees also, reduces the amount of carbon dioxides taken up by the photosynthesis and trapped in the wood and carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas therefore, Trees play a huge role in the carbon cycle. They convert the CO2 in the air to oxygen, through the process of photosynthesis.…

Fracking As shale and fracking is increasing, the International Energy Agency projects that the United States could become the world’s leading oil producer by 2015 (WhatIsFracking.com). Fracking or hydraulic fracturing is the process of drilling down into the earth. A high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Soon, water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at a high pressure, which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well (BBC.com).…
