lead can enter the body by inhalation or absorption. Lead can be inhaled when lead dust‚ mist‚ or fumes are in the air. The most common source of this contamination comes from firing ammunition with lead primers. When the ammunition is fired‚ the lead primer oxidizes with the lead bullet base causing a release of lead fumes into the air. These fumes are inhaled by the officer. The amount of lead fumes inhaled is directly related to the type of firing range the officer is training on. There would

1. Question: How is the growth rate of bean plants affected by different types of water? 2. Introduction: We are going to be exploring the affect that different type of water have on the growth rate of bean plants. We will be experimenting with two different types of bean plants and testing three different types of water. PH is basically the negative log of hydrogen ion activity used to measure the acidity or basicity. The pH level ranges on a scale from one to fourteen‚ one being most

Effects of soil ph variation on radish plants growth Background information: the soil ph can have 2 different impacts on the growth of plant roots. First and most important is how it affects the concentration of nutrients present in the soil itself. This variable varies depending on the ph tendency‚ in particular‚ nutrients like phosphorous‚ potassium ‚sulphur‚ calcium and magnesium tend to drastically decrease in more acidic ph conditions (<6.0)‚ on the other hand iron‚ manganese‚ boron

Should the Federal Tax on gasoline increase to help pay for public transportation and road improvements? Gas companies shouldn’t raise their taxes based on the need for money for public transportation because many citizens who live in the U.S. use public transportation instead of buying gas. By them not having to buy gas that will cause those who don’t use public transportation to be forced to pay for something that they don’t use. While doing so those who use the public transportation may reap

However other arguments will be presented‚ such as theories that support the fact that population growth has an impact in economic development. According to Weeks‚ J (1999:13) the rapid acceleration in growth after 1950 was due almost entirely to the declines in the

Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth Plant Science The question of this science fair project question is “Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth.” This is a good question because aspirin help human get better but‚ will it help plant grow bigger. Or maybe it makes the plant grow faster? Or maybe it can make the plant not grow at all. In this science experiment I am using dieffenbachia plants. Dieffenbachia plants are usually house plants. This is great because this science experiment is being done in the

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to see if radiation has an effect on the cultivated radish seeds that we used. From the observed data that we collected‚ we were able to conclude that when seeds are exposed to radiation‚ it affects how they grow‚ if there is any growth at all. Introduction Radiation is an important environmental abiotic factor for plants‚ and one small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum‚ is called the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)‚ provides

EFFECTS OF NITROGEN FIXING PEA PLANTS (Pisum sativum) ON GROWTH OF CORN (Zea mays) Introduction Interactions among plant species‚ particularly negative ones‚ have been a concern in agriculture (Levene 1926‚ Russell 1961). Novoa (1981) suggested that it would be advantageous to rotate certain crops by season‚ grow certain crops together‚ or avoid growing certain crops on the same land. Observations indicated that some crops require specific types of nutrients in contrast to other crop
