starved body to work twice as hard. Cigarettes have been seen to contain double the amount of chemicals that they should legally be‚ many of which contain further health problems. The main ingredients that harm the body when smoking are tar‚ carbon monoxide and nicotine. Dangerous chemicals such as nail varnish remover and even bleach were found! More than 4000 chemicals have been found in just one cigarette. All these chemical damage the body

stores of fatty acids‚ resulting in arteriosclerosis. The carbon monoxide in the smoke can significantly decrease cardiac work capacity. Since carbon monoxide cannot carry oxygen‚ less oxygen will be delivered to the heart‚ which can damage its tissue. Even though there is a trend toward low-nicotine cigarettes‚ in reality they do not have much value in the prevention of heart disease because it is impossible to reduce carbon monoxide content.

the case of anaemic hypoxia‚ the total amount of haemoglobin is too small to supply the body’s oxygen needs‚ as in anaemia or after severe bleeding‚ or haemoglobin that is present is rendered non-functional. Examples of the latter case are carbon monoxide poisoning and metho-globinuria‚ in both of which the haemoglobin is so altered by toxic agents that it becomes unavailable for oxygen transport‚ and thus of no respiratory value.

Many people think of pollution as the air that we breathe outdoors. Not everyone realizes that the air we breathe indoors is much more polluted. There are pollutants in the atmosphere that have reached a level that is causing a threat to the health of individuals. Pollution began in the early times from the gases of molten volcanic activity being released into the atmosphere. Additional pollutants were caused by the combustion of biomass‚ volatilization of organic compounds‚ and the release of

toxins‚ building waste systems and protecting air and waters. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless‚ odorless‚ tasteless gas and is the most abundant and widely distributed air pollutant. "Even though vast quantities of carbon monoxide enter the atmosphere each year (147 million tons in the US alone) the majority of the emissions are due to natural causes instead of anthropogenic‚ human causes. It is because of this that carbon monoxide is viewed as the least danger to living beings. The largest natural

Autumn White Biology 258-05 November 26‚ 2012 Unknown #19 Enterbacteriaceae Enterobacter aerogenes ABSTRACT The objective of this report was to identify an unknown microorganism through several differential media tests. Over the course of a couple weeks‚ ten tests were performed. First‚ a gram stain was performed‚ indicating the bacterium was gram negative. An aerotolerance test determined that the bacterium was a facultative anaerobe. Next‚ a negative result in the

Primary pollutants are usually produced from a process‚ such as ash from a volcanic eruption. Other examples include carbon monoxide gas from motor vehicle exhaust‚ or the sulfur dioxide released from factories. Secondary pollutants are not emitted directly. Rather‚ they form in the air when primary pollutants react or interact. Ground level ozone is a prominent example of a secondary

in turn causes the cancer. Someone who smokes 20 cigarettes a day inhales at least one cup of tar per year. The combination of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily augments your heart rate and blood pressure‚ straining your heart and blood vessels. This in turn can cause a heart attack‚ or a stroke. Carbon Monoxide deprives your muscles‚ brain‚ and body tissues of oxygen making your heart labor harder. As time goes by your airways swell up and allows less air into
