Not only has these pollutants had an effect on our atmosphere‚ but our living conditions as citizens in Ohio has been exposed to harm and danger. There are many health risks associated with mercury‚ sulfur dioxide‚ smog and other toxins that allow us to be at a higher risk than other regions outside of Ohio in the United States. The infant mortality rate in the state of Ohio as of 2008 was 7.7%. The crude death rate in Ohio was 955.5. While

air‚ water‚ and food with mercury. Cement kilns release mercury into the environment through the cement-making process. Mercury is released in the air then goes to the water‚ which then infects the fish‚ which makes it unsafe for people to eat. In order to control mercury pollution‚ E.J. wants the Environmental Protection Agency to set mercury standards for cement kilns. E.J. Wrote a report called‚ “Cementing a Toxic Legacy?” about how the EPA has failed to control mercury pollution from cement kilns

Pitot Static system A pitot-static system is a system of pressure-sensitive instruments that is most often used in aviation to determine an aircraft’sairspeed‚ Mach number‚ altitude‚ and altitude trend. A pitot-static system generally consists of a pitot tube‚ a static port‚ and the pitot-static instruments. Errors in pitot-static system readings can be extremely dangerous as the information obtained from the pitot static system‚ such as altitude‚ is often critical to a successful flight. Several

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit The Mercury Thermometer (“Fahrenheit‚ Gabriel Daniel (1686-1736)”) The great man himself‚ Daniel Fahrenheit. Boiling water‚ freezing water and the temperature of a human body: these were the key points of the Fahrenheit scale. These three temperatures were chosen to act as the basis of the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
