landslide). It leads to financial‚ environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the vulnerability of the affected population to resist the hazard‚ also called their resilience.[1] This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability."[2] Environmental disasters are occurring with alarming regularity. But the management of such disasters has not kept pace at the required level. Major environmental disasters such as the 1952 London

Oil and gas conservation means their better and more efficient use with regard to economic‚ social or environment costs and benefits resulting minimization of wastage and protection of environment. A very high priority is attached by the government to conservation of petroleum products in view of the need to reduce increasing gap between demand for and supply of oil and petroleum products. Government has initiated various steps to promote conservation of petroleum products in the different sectors

After the tragic BP oil spill in 2010‚ Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal was quoted saying “the day that we’ve been fearing is upon us.” It is obvious that oil spills are a major concern throughout the world and pose a menacing threat to our environment and our public health. When hearing the phrase “oil spill‚” many immediately think about death‚ destruction and disaster. Unfortunately‚ a majority of people only acknowledge the devastating and highly publicized oil spills‚ but what they don’t see

No Oil Drilling In Protected Areas Oil‚ or petroleum‚ is a complex mixture of various hydrocarbons and rock minerals found below the earth ’s surface. When the oil is extracted from the ground it is then refined into various gases or fuels and as a raw material‚ it can be used to make plastic‚ pesticides and many more uses. Oil drilling is a process of perforating the earth’s surface and rock layers to extract fossil fuels or oil for energy productions. Oil is found all over the world and it

So many animals are dying because of the oil in the water. Proofread to- Government wildlife experts have found just in Alaska that the BP oil spill has threatened more than 400 species including 34‚000 birds‚ 656 sea turtles and 12 dolphins‚ and this count was taken the first couple days of the spill. The oil is still on a continuous flow. During this

Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction: In this lab the synthesis‚ purification‚ and characterization of isoamyl acetate‚ or banana oil‚ was determined. The synthesis was completed by a reversible esterification reaction which required the heating of glacial acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol‚ combined with a sulfuric acid catalyst in hexane. In order to increase the efficiency of the reaction‚ LeChatelier’s Principle is utilized by removing water from the products. As a result‚ the reaction

The OIL INDUSTRY includes the global processes of exploration‚ extraction‚ refining‚ transporting (often by oil tankers and pipelines)‚ and marketing petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are fuel oil and gasoline (petrol). Petroleum is also the raw material for many chemical products‚ including pharmaceuticals‚ solvents‚ fertilizers‚ pesticides‚ and plastics. The industry is usually divided into three major components: upstream‚ midstream and downstream. Midstream operations

RUNNING HEAD: Synthesis of Banana Oil Abstract A reflux apparatus was assembled with a water-cooled condenser and a drying tube. Isopentyl alcohol‚ glacial acid sulfuric acid is added to a 25 milliliter round bottom flask and attached to the reflux apparatus. The mixture was boiled‚ the extracted first using water followed by aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was dried using anhydrous granular sodium sulfate. After dried‚ the sample was placed in a distillation apparatus and heated. This resulted
