water supplies throughout the U.S. and the world. There is a lot of concern about the clean up of toxic pollutants from the environment. Traditional methods for cleaning up contaminated sites such as dig and haul‚ pump and treat‚ soil venting‚ air sparging and others are generally harmful to habitats. Some methods strip the soil of vital nutrients and microorganisms‚ so nothing can grow on the site‚ even if it has been decontaminated. Typically these mechanical methods are also very expensive.

Introduction: Vanadium is a hard‚ silvery grey metal. Vanadium was discovered by Andrés Manuel del Río‚ a Spanish-born Mexican mineralogist‚ in 1801 [1]. Some sources say Vanadium is soft because it is ductile [1]. Vanadium is harder than most metals and steels [1] It is resistant to corrosion and it is stable against alkalis‚ sulfuric and hydrochloric acids[1]. It is oxidized in air at about 933 K (660 °C‚ 1220 °F) [1]. This paper will discuss the effects of Vanadium on the environment and Vanadium’s

Biotechnology is also used to recycle‚ treat waste‚ clean up sites contaminated by industrial activities (bioremediation)‚ and also to produce biological weapons. 1. Medicine a.

The wetlands are highly affected by runoff water contaminated by coal. What comes as a big surprise is that there are not many government regulations on the burning of coal‚ and what’s more is that “[t]he existing standards governing water pollution from power plants have not been updated in 30 years” ( Sierra

ABSTRACT Each year‚ the oil industry generates millions of barrels of wastes that need to be properly managed. For many years‚ most oil field wastes were disposed of at a significant cost. However‚ over the past decade‚ the industry has developed many processes and technologies to minimize the generation of wastes and to more safely and economically dispose of the waste that is generated. Many companies follow a three-tiered waste management approach. First‚ companies try to minimize waste generation
