have been found in increasing concentration. In 2009‚ it was estimated that 10% of modern waste was plastics‚ although estimates vary according to region. Meanwhile‚ 50-80% of debris in marine areas is plastic. They also contribute great effect on global warming especially if they are incinerated because it increases carbon emissions. So how can we continuously use plastic without compromising our environment? On the other hand‚ vegetables like potato‚ tapioca and corn also contain polymers from

Impact of Industrialization on Environment OVERVIEW Centuries ago‚ when there was no active expanding of large cities and industries‚ nature was able to overcome pollution and keep air fairly clean without outside help. The wind and rain in the form of natural rescuers scattered gases and washed away the dust. However‚ with increasing industrialization and urbanization‚ the nature’s system cannot cope with pollution and clean the environment naturally. In comparison with volcanoes‚ hurricanes‚

Three different treatments of handmade paper were produced with three replicates for each treatment. Non-standard physical test for folding endurance‚ tear factor‚ and tearing astreghnt were done on each treatment of the handmade paper produced. Qualitative descriptions were assigned to each treatment in terms of the paper’s color‚ writability and texture

Human impact on the Environment: Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes impacts on biophysical environments‚ biodiversity and other resources.[1][2] The term anthropogenic designates an effect or object resulting from human activity. Causes[edit]Technology[edit]The application of technology (in general) often results in unavoidable environmental impacts‚ which according to the I=PAT equation is measured as resource use or pollution generated per unit

Human impact on the environment Human beings compete with other living things for resources and space. As the world’s population continues to increase‚ and standards of living improve‚ there is serious danger of a permanent change to the global environment. In the year 1800 the population was just 1billion‚ now it is more than 6 billion. With the population increasing the waste produced is also increasing and so is the pollution causing massive changes in the environment. Pollution is a massive

Impact of Tourism on the Environment (Negril) Negril is situated on the western end of the island of Jamaica. It is known as the 7 mile beach even though it is slightly longer than 6.4 km in length. Negril is also called the tourism capital of Jamaica. Tourism is travel for business‚ leisure or recreational purposes and therefore has many impacts on the environment: as natural habitats both aquatic and terrestrial are being destroyed and damaged when hotels and roads are being built‚ causing pollution

Among the most harmful and dangerous non-metal compunds are nitrogen oxides‚ sulphur dioxide‚ carbon dioxide‚ carbon monoxide‚ and hydrogen sulphide. These can cause devastating effects to human beings‚ plants‚ animals and the environment. Matals are generaly less harmful‚ although lead is extremely toxic. Hydrogen sulphide is a highly toxic gas. It has a very bad smell‚ often identified in rotten eggs and stink bombs. Hydrogen sulphide interferes with cellular respiration. If inhaled‚ Hydrogen

Introduction In this project I aim to explain the contributes to the environment by the actions of humans and display the consequences. I am going to divide the project into different sections and then sub sections to make the project easier to navigate around and keep the information in relevant sections. • Section 1: HABITAT REDUCTION BY HUMANS. * The building of houses and roads * Quarrying * Farming * The draining of wetland areas * Recreational uses • Section
