Gas Chromatography

How Chromatography Helps The Human Race Chromatography is the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension or as a vapor (as in gas chromatography) through a medium in which the components move at different rates. “Chromatography is done by making of a mixture move past the solids, or across the surface of a solid, like paper. The mixture is poured onto a solid surface. As the different components of the liquid run down the solid, some of them move more slowly than other. A component that moves slowly may spend more time in the solid phase than in liquid. One that moves more quickly may spend more time in liquid form than in solid. A base such as water may be added to the mixture to assist in the transition from solid to
Pesticides are very harmful for our digestive systems, and they are used to keep bugs off of various fruits and vegetables when they’re growing. The advantage of using chromatology for seeing if pesticides are on people’s fruits and vegetables is it makes sure people aren’t consuming a harmful chemical that could make people sick or catch any harmful diseases. Especially for children. Sometimes, if an infant were to consume a fruit/vegetable that had pesticide laced over it, pesticide exposure plays a large role in neurological problems that affect their memory and attention span. Which is why chromatography is so very important to today’s adolescents while their brains continue to grow and form them into
“Chromatology is used in the food industries for analysis of different additives in the food. For example milk is consumed all over the world. The common adulterant that can be added in milk is pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid is derived from lactic acid bacteria. Chromatography is employed acid bacteria.” (chemistry.tutorvista.com). This is an advantage because it makes sure that foods/drinks are safe to consume/drink and won’t make people sick. As said before, chromatography keeps mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers in a job. Without checking milk with pyruvic acid, most likely a consumer will eventually buy a bad carton and end up becoming sick. Which then causes that consumer to discontinue the use of that product, putting people out of jobs, again, drastically affecting the economy. Adding onto the point of chromatography being very important to day to day human
