The Sydney Tar Ponds are the most toxic hazardous waste site in North America‚ located in Cape Breton. These tar ponds were caused essentially from a century of steel making‚ polluting it with high levels of PCB‚ mercury‚ lead and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. This was first discovered in 1980 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Sydney Harbor‚ which resulted in a period of events and frustrations for both the government and residents. In1982 lobster fisheries were all closed down due

There is Greenery everywhere‚ with various species of plants which consist both Flower and Weed. Most of the people tend to see flowers and weeds as just flowers and weed but they actually never seem to question things that make them so different and similar. We see flowers as just decorative item but it does not only have that characteristics. Flowers have various uses too. From

I. Introduction: The purpose of this lab report is to differentiate between of Newton’s Third Law and Newton’s Second Law. Newton’s Third Law states that all forces come in pairs and that the two forces in a pair act on different objects and are equal in strength and opposite in direction. Newton’s Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object being accelerated. Using calculation equations for acceleration

Introduction The aim of this practical 1 is to determine the rate of photosynthesis by measuring the rate of oxygen production‚ which is a direct consequence of PSII activity. Results Graph 1 Graph 2 Discussion i. It took 2 minutes before any increase in the O2 concentration of the chamber was observed‚ it took 2minutes‚ after illuminating the leaf. ii. There are 2 main parts of the photosynthesis‚ light dependent part and light independent part‚ the O2 is released in last part which is light-independent

When talking to Brian and Steve about the adequacy of this program for controlling weeds in chicory they were reasonably happy with the results. This is because the application of Preside eliminated a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds and the cultivation and application of glyphosate managed to eliminate large proportions of the grasses and other problematic perennial weeds. My evaluation of the control program was similar in terms of Preside doing a quality job at eliminating a wide spectrum of

Since before the 1900’s‚ the United States has been battling with a seemingly unending debate. Should marijuana‚ otherwise known as ‘weed’‚ be legalized in the states? While most politicians say that legalizing marijuana would only be used as a ‘stepping-stone’ to more dangerous drugs like heroin or cocaine‚ it is my opinion to strongly disagree with this statement. Marijuana use can have medical pluses‚ yielding California’s decision to legalize marijuana for healing purposes. With the right regulations

Genetically Modified Organisms INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this lab was to identify if non-labeled food products are actually genetically modified foods. Before we could begin testing this theory we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for
