Introduction Environmental Engineering is a discipline of engineering devoted to the development and application of scientific knowledge through technology to eliminate or minimize adverse effects associated with human activities. It operates at four different levels: remediation of contaminated sites‚ treatment of effluents‚ pollution prevention‚ and care for future generations.

Environmental Noise Becca Gillett Thursday December 19th 2013 Noise is a prominent part of our society and causes significant damage to our ears as well as increasing a risk of cardiovascular diseases. The field of environmental noise works to study what devices create the most noise and how we can reduce that noise to therefore reduce the harm done to humans. An increase in the intensity of a noise is the increase in the energy in its sound waves‚ and if this energy gets to a certain point

This is an organ that has the highest probability of being affected by exposure to a specific substance. Target organ toxicity refers to the negative effects a chemical has on that target organ after entry into the body (Hodgson‚ 2010). There are multiple organs such as the liver which are targeted simply because of ease of access. Any organ that can be accessed through less guarded cell walls

Environmental pollution‚ problems and control measures A. Introduction and definition of environmental pollution – We know that‚ a living organism cannot live by itself.

All these constituents of the environment are dependent upon each other. Thus‚ they maintain a balance in nature. As we are the only organisms

We can see through the results that there isn’t a normal proportional relationship between the wavelength of the light and the rate of photosynthesis and instead it starts relatively high then decreases and increases again. The colour red gives the highest rate of photosynthesis (89 bubbles per minute) with blue giving the second highest rate of photosynthesis (70 bubbles per minute)‚ and yellow giving the third highest rate of photosynthesis (64 bubbles per minute) and green with by far the least
