Water pollution

name for hydraulic fracturing, is a method of extracting natural gas from the earth. In this process, a well is drilled deep into the earth to reach shale. Once it hit this level, the well takes a ninety-degree turn and runs through the layer. Water with other dissolved chemicals is pressurized and sent down the well to create cracks in the shale. This solution helps absorb the gas and is subsequently pumped back up the well to the surface (NYTimes). The controversies surrounding fracking…

of live nauplii hatchings, in the water containing the lower amount of salinity content. The possible reason that Artemia spp hatch better in the water containing the lower amount of salinity being the fact that brine shrimp often hatch between March and May when the fresh water inflow is at its highest. The results obtained throughout this experiment due in fact support the hypothesis and therefore the hypothesis is accepted that brine shrimp nauplii prefer water when hatching that has a lower…

Greywater is used water from the sinks,tubs,showers,and washing machines. Basically any water other than toilet water that drains down the faucet after use from a household. They often contain traces of trash such as grease,hair, food, dirt, and some household cleaning products such as body wash. Even though they contain these materials, they are reusable, and we use it for watering our plants. “While greywater may look “dirty,” it is a safe and even beneficial source of irrigation water in a…

density decreased, the salinity will be decreased either. Which means the high temperature, the lower density and salinity is. For example, if the ice berg which in the North pole melted. There are a lot of fresh water flow into the seawater. That will decrease the density and salinity of sea water. Which means increase the temperature of seawater. High temperature will makes ice berg melting easily, so that it will become a vicious…

QA Lab day one: I tested five games during this QA lab ,There Might Be Ponds, office mayhem, Kanji Samurai, The Fog, and an unnamed tower defence game. All five of the games tested where digital and for the most part functional. I had never tested these games before this being my first QA lab. I enjoyed most of the games thoroughly but i found myself liking There Might Be Ponds the most. There Might Be Ponds is a charmfull puzzle game that implements a intersting to hand mechanic in which you…

The zoogliamass uses some phosphorous to create new phospholipid bilayers (cell parts of new microorganisms), when the bacteria reproduce. The water is then pumped to secondary clarifiers. Here, water slows down and waste is able to float to top or sink to bottom. A polymer is added to help bacteria clump together and settle better. Ferric chloride is also added to remove phosphorous. This is because it is attracted to phosphorus and helps to make it heavy and settle to the bottom. Part of the…

Most animals and plants live on water as well, and can be easily affected by it as human beings will. They are susceptible to the chemicals in the water, which can either drastically change their lifestyles due to changing food supplies and the like to such dire consequences such as death. On the Office of Response and Restoration’s website, they state that light oils display two hazards. Some can ignite and explode, but are mainly toxic. It can kill animals and plants upon touch, even…

Marlin Mine, there have been many complaints by locals that the water is being contaminated by toxic metals (Zarsky and Stanley 2013). Research encourages that there is this heightened level of metal in the river close to the mine, which puts the ecosystem and human health in danger (North and Young 2013). There is also evidence that acid from the mine is being drained close by, which could be why there are elevated metals in the water, aluminum, copper, and manganese (Holden and Jacobson…

Although the topic of contamination appeared many years ago, people have only recently developed fears of contaminants. Fear of contamination is when a person is scared of anything that has the possibility of being a contaminant. It is important for psychologists to understand the fear of contamination because it can affect an individual’s physical, mental and social health. The purpose of this paper is to understand and describe the different factors that contribute to fear of contamination as…

Lead shot a poison, but does it matter when the intention is to kill? There is a controversy in the hunting community, whether lead shot does enough harm to waterfowl to continue the ban on lead shot for waterfowl hunting. The main reasons for using lead shot are stopping power, range, and cost. The alternatives are non-toxic shots such as steel, Hevi-Shot, bismuth. The most commonly used is steel because it is the cheapest of the non-toxic shot. There are many problems with steel shot, but if…
