Module 2 notes When you are driving‚ most information comes to you through eyes. Gathering information with your eyes is called visual perception – the ability to notice many things at once. You must have 20/40 vision or better in each eye and both eyes If it is found that you have 20/200 (or poorer) vision in one eye‚ you must have 20/40 or better vision in the other eye with or without corrective lenses If it is found that you have 20/70 (or better) vision in either eye separately‚ or in

Four-fifths of the smoke that builds up in a room with a smoker is the more harmful "sidestream" type. Tobacco smoke has over 4‚000 chemical compounds‚ which includes 40 carcinogenic agents that are cancer-causing. Tobacco smoke also has carbon monoxide‚ which is a poisonous gas‚ that inhibits the transportation of someone’s oxygen to their body’s vital organs via the blood. Also‚ the smoke that is emitted from the tip of a cigarette has almost double the concentration

The chemicals such as nicotine and carbon monoxide harm the child. Nicotine causes the blood vessels to tighten‚ so less oxygen and nutrients can reach the child. Carbon monoxide lessens the oxygen levels for the baby. This causes the baby to struggle with breathing problems such as asthma. Alcohol is another major problem during pregnancy. It may cause birth

part of the atmosphere‚ are called pollutants. Over ninety percent of all air pollutants can be divided up into five categories: carbon monoxide‚ nitrogen oxides‚ hydrocarbons‚ sulfur oxides and suspended particulate matter. Mass is only one way of categorizing pollutants. Substances can also be looked at from an effect stand point. For example‚ carbon monoxide (CO) comprises 56% of all air pollutants when looked at in terms of total mass. However‚ when looked at in

Most emission motor vehicle consists of unburned hydrocarbons‚ carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen. Unburned hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen react in the atmosphere and create smog.

Research showed that people who regularly smoke shisha can suffer from dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO) similar to that of inhaling a car exhaust. According to this report‚ one session of shisha smoking can result in CO level at least five times higher than the amount inhaled by one cigarette. This high level of CO not only can cause brain

people do not know about what is happening to the earth. Climate change is defined as general increase in the earth’s temperature over a defined period of time‚ which are caused by humans and by nature‚ of increased levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Over the course of human history climate change has been watched and recorded to track the changes. In the last 30 years‚ there have been increases in general global temperatures which at the same period seen an increase in destruction of the rainforest

While research about hookah smoking is still emerging‚ evidence shows that it poses many dangers: * Hookah smoke contains high levels of toxic compounds‚ including tar‚ carbon monoxide‚ heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). In fact‚ hookah smokers are exposed to more carbon monoxide and smoke than are cigarette smokers. * As with cigarette smoking‚ hookah smoking is linked to lung and oral cancers‚ heart disease and other serious illnesses. * Hookah smoking delivers

Automobile Emissions Control Abstract - The Automobile emissions control focus on the different types of technologies that have been introducing from early 1960’s to reduce the air pollution. They describe the different control methods involved in all the devices employed for the purpose of controlling pollution. This paper entails the information of impact of using these control techniques and devices. The detrimental effects of pollutants from automobile emissions on
