Destruction of forests‚ land degradation‚ atmosperic contamination‚ and water scarcity are some of the major environmental problems. In 1970‚ the EPA was created by President Nixon to protect the public health and environment. The cancer-causing DDT was banned in 1972 and was found accumulating in the food chain. The use of lead in gasoline was phased out in ’73 which caused lead levels to drop 98%. In ’74 the agency required drinking water to be physically and chemically treated. CFCs were

under normal circumstances this would not be enough to kill this many bees this fast. Pesticides‚ specifically Neonicotinoids; are the world’s most used insecticide. These chemicals can destroy a bee’s nervous system and are used as a replacement for DDT. Bees absorb the chemical while out exploring‚ collecting pollen‚ or contaminated water. It is then brought into the colony and eventually comes into contact with all the bees. There are some very horrific consequences once contact is made‚ bees develop

A vegetarian diet has become more popular today. Is the vegetarian or omnivore diet better? Are vegetarians really missing the proteins and nutrients from meat? The term vegetarian can be confusing to some since there are different variations of vegetarians: vegans‚ lacto vegetarian‚ lacto-ovo-vegetarian‚ ovo-vegetarian; strict vegetarians (vegans) exclude all meat‚ eggs and diary products. A lacto-vegetarian diet excludes meat‚ fish and eggs but includes dairy products. Most vegetarians follow

bodies. It occurs due to several factors; the industrial wastes dumped into the rivers and other water bodies cause an imbalance in the water leading to its severe contamination and death of aquatic species. Also spraying insecticides‚ pesticides like DDT on plants pollutes the ground water system and oil spills in the oceans have caused irreparable damage to the water bodies. Water pollution not only harms the aquatic beings but it also contaminates the entire food chain by severely affecting humans

WASTE GENERATION ‘Waste’ is a very general word‚ used to include anything that is no longer needed for use and is thrown away uncared. It has created and added a new problem to the environmental pollution. Pollution also creates serious problems for human health. There is remarkable growth in energy generation‚ fertilizers‚ pesticides‚ chemicals‚ production of coal etc. All these and much more is expected to increase in the years to come. For this‚ we need to understand different sources of

Crichton also supports his claim with the reasoning that global warming and environmentalism‚ like religion‚ have no credible evidence to support them. He makes a list of statements arguing the major claims of environmentalism. For instance‚ DDT should not have been banned because it does not kill birds. He says second-hand smoke is not hazardous to health. He says that the evidence for global warming is weak and discusses how Antarctic ice is growing instead of shrinking and that the

Chromatography is the separation of compounds to allow us to see the different colours of that compound‚ for instance we may use chromatography in a school lab to see the real colour compounds of plants and grass‚ by using chemicals such as acetone we it will allow the object to break compounds and thus we can see the true colour of the grass. In today’s society there are many real world applications which use the chromatography technique in their line of work‚ an example of one of these applications
