Marine pollution “Plastic never goes away, and its increasingly finding its way into our oceans and onto our beaches”(“Ocean Plastics Pollution”). Marine pollution is a hazard to humans and wildlife when consumed. Marine pollution is detrimental to our planet and its many diverse ecosystems filled with delicate wildlife. The pollution of our oceans occurs daily and is often overlooked or forgotten about when it is a major environmental issue. Marine pollution causes many species of marine life…

1. DNA Structure and Function DNA is the type of organic compound that stores the genetic information in a living organism. DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides, which include a phosphate group, five carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Each individual strand in held together by strong covalent bonds (a bond formed as a result of the distribution of electrons between atoms). The two strands are then joined to each other by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases. There are four…

activity does not exempt them from chronic diseases such as lung cancer, stomach cancer, and respiratory illnesses among others. The researchers were particularly right when they mentioned that "hookah smokers may absorb higher concentrations of the same toxins found in cigarette smoke” (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). With no doubt, this insinuates that whatever the victims of hookah smoking tend to think are less dangerous are more dangerous compared to cigarette smoking. Moreover,…

the environment as there are many carcinogens including Dioxins and Furans(WHO, 2016), as well as other heavy metals left over after the incineration. A large majority of those toxins turns into gasses and enters the atmosphere in which we breathe causing for an endless list of diseases which may occur. The rest of the toxins become slag which would need to be disposed of correctly(Speight, 2011). There are methods to incinerate this municipal waste, such as the Waterfall or the Modular…

Many different types of pollution that exist in the world. Air pollution is often talked about amongst all the other types of pollution. Another type of pollution that causes severe damage to the environment is water pollution. Water pollution occurs when toxic substances enter water bodies getting dissolved in them. In countries such as India, Afghanistan, and Chad people are drinking water directly from the lakes, oceans, and nearby streams. This water is contaminated by millions of chemicals…

dealing with every day modern life puts stress on the adrenals and forces them to work overtime, churning out these “fight or flight” hormones. But the same factors that affect the thyroid directly, like blood sugar swings, gut health, environmental toxins and inflammation also cause the adrenals to pump out more stress hormones. In this way, anything physical or emotional that disturbs your body’s natural homeostasis has the ability to negatively impact the health and functioning of your…

rash then spreads to the arms and the rest of the body. The rash starts as pimply red bumps, growing closer together to form a solid red surface on the skin. The primary strep infection is the contagious aspect. The rash itself is not contagious. The toxin responsible for causing the red-colored skin rash is an erythrogenic…

and a Ph.D. in Toxicology and Pharmacology (2007) from the Medical University of Silesia, Poland” (https://www.roswellpark.edu/maciej-goniewicz). Thus, he is very qualified in finding evidence about the toxicology of e-cigarettes. With e-cigarette toxin aerosol levels way less than tobacco cigarettes, the second-hand smoke consumed by them would be way less harmful to non-smoking bystanders. Since, there is a major movement in getting rid of smoking in restaurants or public places, the switch to…
