As strange as some climate change solutions are, even recycling can save humanity from extinction. Though recycling seems like a common activity among many, the current level of recycling on Earth is not an adequate when considering the true needs of the planet. Because greenhouse gasses and emissions rapidly warm the planet, reclaiming most of the recyclable materials across the globe could lower emissions and slow down or bring climate change to a stage of revitalization. According to…

Health Organization guideline limit for airborne particulate matter of 50ug/m3 (WHO, 2014). Fine particles are easily inhaled into the lungs, where they may remain or be absorbed in the bloodstream. Among the most significant of these particles are sulfates, nitrates and soot (Botkin, 2004 p 529). The air pollutants NO2, O3, and SO2 exceeded the standard and guideline values and O3 levels were the highest in an area near the Manama airport due to aircraft emissions (Khamdan and Al Madany,…

There are many different purposes for robots. They can be made to help people remember to do basic tasks such as taking their medicine and remembering to brush their teeth to roaming mars to check for habitability. Robots can help astronauts do the dangerous tasks that they should not do. The purpose of the curiosity rover is to determine if mars is suitable for humans to live on and learn about the mars environment. The curiosity rover is the size of a small SUV and has a “host of scientific…

PUR Packets are used to filter water for people who do not have access to clean drinking water. They work by recreating water power plants in a smaller scale, this has both positive and negative impacts on the four compass points. This report will explain how the PUR Packet is a realistic and possibly good solution to our world’s water problem. According to Dr. Greg Allgood PUR Packet turns contaminated water into safe drinking water. It does this by going through a similar process to…

Today, nearly half of the women population wears makeup to vanquish flaws and of course, go from a two to a ten. The magic of that is foundation which comes in a variety of shades for every skin tone out there. However, not all foundations are the same. For example, my first time wearing foundation at the young age of fourteen, I wore starlight beige from Cover Girl thinking it would hide my freckles and pimples, yet I did not know I would be the laughing- stock in middle school with people…

Problem Statement Industries are generated waste water, which contain dyes and pigments in waste water. Characteristically high in colour and organic content (Grag, et al., 2004). Dyes are widely used in industries such as textile, rubber, paper, plastic, and cosmetic. There are many of dyes exist in industries and one of them is methyl red and through nano zerovalent iron removal of dyes from waste water. Dye industry effluents constitute one of the most problematic wastewaters to be treated…

by drawing air through glass sampling tubes containing Carbosieve S-III (carbon based molecular sieve) adsorbent. Samples are desorbed with a mixture of 99:1 (v/v) carbon disulfide (CS2)/dimethyl-formamide (DMF) in the presence of anhydrous sodium sulfate and are analyzed by GC using a flame ionization detector.” (Burright, 1990). Once MC has been detected and/or identified, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health…

Zinc Responsive Dermatosis (ZRD) is a poorly understood disease that effects canines. ZRD Syndrome I is acknowledged to be more than a simple zinc deficiency. Though it’s mechanism of action has yet to be determined, it prevents the body from absorbing enough zinc from the ration even when adequate levels are present (White et al., 2001). As such, animals afflicted with this condition often suffer from zinc deficiency. ZRD Syndrome II is a more transient deficiency resulting from low ration zinc…

An estuary is a body of water in which fresh water from streams and rivers flows into seawater-containing oceans (Estuaries, 2008). The mixture of both seawater and fresh water is termed brackish water (Estuaries, 2008). Salinity depends on the exact location of an estuary, as the salt concentration is nonexistent in the fresh water end compared to the sea water end. The normal levels of salinity are between 0.5 to 35 ppt (Estuaries, 2008). Based on the central location of the fish kill site…

INTRODUCTION Dyes exist in natural and synthetic forms in the world; they are used for the purpose of changing colors of different materials. William Perkins first discovered the azo dye on accident after adding alcohol to a product in the lab. They have the ability to do this due to the molecules of the dyes possessing conjugation. Conjugation is defined as p-orbitals overlapping which causes the electrons within to be delocalized; it is also seen in molecules and compounds that contain…
