Environmental problems Everyone has heard about global problems. Television and the press often writes about storms‚ droughts‚ melting of glaciers‚ or hunger in Africa. But not too many of us know the details‚ and the stories behind those problems. These days the biggest environmental problems are: Global warming‚ Pollution‚ drought‚ overpopulation‚ deforestation‚ Endangered species. Let’s start from global warming. Global warming is the process by which the Earth’s average atmospheric temperature

Analysis For the analysis Phase of this project‚ the rate of exposure is required. For this to be determined some assumptions were made; the environmental badges received 10 mrem/quarter of exposure‚ the synchrotron equally exposes the entire facility; the Radiation follows the Inverse Square law for the relation of exposure to 2 points away from a source‚ and all other factors of exposure attenuation were ignored. These assumptions simplified the calculations to only be dependent on the distance

Environmental impact of mining The environmental impact of mining includes erosion‚ formation of sinkholes‚ loss of biodiversity‚ and contamination of soil‚ groundwater and surface water by chemicals from mining processes. In some cases‚ additional forest logging is done in the vicinity of mines to increase the available room for the storage of the created debris and soil. Besides creating environmental damage‚ the contamination resulting from leakage of chemicals also affect the health of the

Environmental Issues Environmental issues are indeed everyone’s concern. There have been a lot of efforts being put by the parties who are interested and concerned to limit the damage done to the environment around the world as well as to raise public awareness around the world.
