“Ley Lines” (1999) is the final part in Takashi Miike's thematically connected "Black Society Trilogy" of crime dramas that began with “Shinjuku Triad Society” (1995) and continued with “Rainy Dog” (1997). As with those films, Miike's eyes are once again fixed firmly on the underclass of immigrants, prostitutes and criminals who are struggling to survive in the hostile environment they find themselves in. Buy This Title The film follows three young men of Chinese descent living in a rural…

Environmental pollution is a major concern in a number of countries world over. Human activities coupled with inadequate knowledge on the need for a clean and safe environment enhance the unending contamination of the environment. Ohio, just like other states, experiences environmental contamination. Drugs and drug metabolites including the industrial effluents are the major sources of contaminants in the local environment of Ohio. Combustion of the municipal and industrial compounds and…

material as possible could help to create a more defined standard. For example, as noted in the report, the GC-MS parameters used only included the detection of compounds at the same degree and higher of toluene. How can it be assured that the presence of a compound containing a boiling point lower than toluene would not significantly hinder or mask the extraction of other ILR mixtures? Generally, it seems as if the detection parameters set throughout the analyses and detection protocols were…

means that the substance has more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions according to “pH”3 .The chemical and physical properties are stated in Table 1. The compound was soluble in water and hydrochloric acid, but was not soluble in sodium hydroxide, toluene, and acetone as indicated by Table 2. For a compound to be soluble it means that the compound must be able to dissolve in a certain liquid. This was proven by using the solubility tests. Since the unknown compound was soluble in water it means…

 The operating pressure is 0.3kg/cm2 and 4.3 kg/cm2 in the second column.  All isomers of xylene was recovered from the column and were collected. The results obtained were 97 mole% benzene, 96 mole% toluene and 98 mole% xylene. In this process separation of acetonitrile from waste solvent acetonitrile is carried out.  The impurity contains isopropyl acetate, hydrogen cyanide, acrolein, oxazole. The temperature of the process is between 140 to 170°F…

The goal of this experiment was to use chemistry to analyze an unknown compound and through testing its physical and chemical properties determine what unknown compound that was found in a landfill. This would benefit the Environmental Protection Agency because once they know what the substance was they could determine the best way to remove it from the landfill and if there were any potential safety hazards to beware of while handling the substance. This would prevent any accidents that may…

Although this video is slightly outdated, it still represents relevant information regarding our health and right to drinking water. I found the video's initial claim that by 2030 two-thirds of America's population would not have sufficient access to water quite startling because I think most people take drinking water for granted. Additionally, I do not think cases like these presented in this video are shown on television or the news as often as they should be. I believe the reason for this is…

used in fracking get into people’s drinking water and land.”Fracking disturbs, distributes, and carries upward with the fracked gas ‘produced waters’ containing radioactive materials, heavy metals, hydrocarbons such as BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and toluene), bromide, highly concentrated salts, and many other organic and inorganic compounds that, when exposed to our environment, are dangerous health hazards--many are known carcinogens and toxic to biological life,” (Carluccio). When…

Hydrofracking is a process used by oil companies to capture resources on domestic soil. It uses various methods to extract methane mostly. Controversies are around the issue because of its many pros and cons. I believe that the cons outweigh the pros in the long run and fracking should be avoided. Hydrofracking is a way of extracting methane from rocks like shale. It uses chemicals and water under high pressure to crack these rocks that contain the wanted gas. Methane is a molecule with…

The consumption of bottled water has been significantly increased. Many people in the country today take bottled water and they do not consider its consequences. Bottled water has negative effects on the environment and people’s health. The movie “Tapped” shows the dangers of taking bottled water. It takes a close look at the bottled water industry and notes that the companies involved are not taking enough measures to reduce the negative effect that their activities have on the industry. Many…
