textile and electroplanting industries (Stern‚ 1982).As a result of smelting process‚ chromium is also found in air as aerosol. (Kimbrough et al.‚ 1999). By the use of water wastes and industrial effluents‚ soil pollution is increasing day by day due to chromium contaminants present in the soil usually in urban areas (Mushtaq & Khan‚ 2010). Chromium occurs in different oxidative states like trivalent Cr (III) and hexavalent chromium Cr(VI). Both these states differ in different aspcets like mobility

Meaning Nuclear weapons tests are experiments carried out to determine the effectiveness‚ yield‚ and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. Throughout the 20th century‚ most nations that developed nuclear weapons tested them. Testing nuclear weapons can yield information about how the weapons work‚ as well as how the weapons behave under various conditions and how structures behave when subjected to nuclear explosions. Nuclear testing has often been used as an indicator of scientific and military

Smog increases‚ higher rain acidity‚ crop depletion from inadequate oxygen‚ and higher rates of asthma. Many scientists believe that global warming is also related to increased air pollution.

From the sky to the soil we walk on daily‚ the earth is being lethally effected. All over the world‚ there are problems with keeping earth resources from contamination. Scientist and research groups have studied the measurements of the Earth surface temperature to discover changes about our earth. Today we are facing disintegration with earth resources. Earth’s temperature has become warmer than the earth was centuries ago. Oceans has overflowed from the change of heat. Soil has been ruined from

mentioned earlier. One frequent source of lead exposure to adults is home renovation. Adults can also be exposed during activities where lead is used‚ like target shooting and car repair. Workers may inhale lead dust‚ as well as ingest food near contaminated areas. If showers and changes of clothing are not provided or accessible‚ employees can bring lead dust home‚ which can expose family members. This is referred to as secondary exposure. The health effects experienced by adults from exposure are
