THE EVOLUTION OF SOAP & DETERGENT INDUSTRY HISTORY Soaps The washing industry‚ usually known as the soap industry‚ has roots over 2000 years in the past‚ a soap factory having been found in the Pompeii excavations. However‚ among the many chemical process industries‚ none has experienced such a fundamental change in chemical raw materials as have the washing industries. It has been generally accepted that the per capita use of toilet soap is a reliable guide to he standard of living for

the water environment is undesirable‚ not only because of their colour‚ but also because many of dyes released and their breakdown products are toxic‚ carcinogenic or mutagenic to life forms mainly because of carcinogens‚ such as benzidine‚ naphthalene and other aromatic compounds (Suteu et al.‚ 2009; Zaharia et al.‚ 2009). Without adequate treatment these dyes can remain in the environment for a long period of time. For instance‚ the half-life of hydrolysed Reactive Blue 19 is about 46 years

alteration in the natural soil environment. It is typically caused by industrial activity‚ agricultural chemicals‚ or improper disposal of waste. The most common chemicals involved are petroleum hydrocarbons‚ polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (such as naphthalene and benzo (a) pyrene)‚ solvents‚ pesticides‚ lead‚ and other heavy metals. Contamination is correlated with the degree of industrialization and intensity of chemical usage. The concern over soil contamination stems primarily from health risks‚ from

Cassandra Orheim Bioethical Focus Paper Bans on Smoking Since 1964‚ 2.5 million nonsmokers have died from exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke is a mixture of gases and fine particles that include more than 7‚000 chemicals‚ including hundreds that are toxic and about 70 that cause cancer. In children‚ secondhand smoke causes ear infections‚ asthma attacks‚ respiratory infections‚ and respiratory symptoms. In adults who have never smoked‚ secondhand smoke can

Introduction An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils‚ ethereal oils or aetherolea‚ or simply as the "oil of" the plant from which they were extracted‚ such as oil of clove. Volatile oils are the odorous and volatile products of various plant and animal species. As they have a tendency to undergo evaporation on being exposed to the air even at an ambient temperature‚ they are invariably termed

Introduction Cinnamaldehyde‚ cinnamic aldehyde or 3-phenyl-2-propenal is the major constituent of cinnamon oil‚ extracted from several species of Cinnamomum (C. verum‚ C. burmanii‚ C. cassia)‚ under the family Lauraceae‚ a group of evergreen trees. Cinnamon bark (particularly C. verum) yields 0.4-0.8% oil‚ which contains 60-80% cinnamaldehyde

An oil spill can be defined as an accidental or deliberate dumping of oil or petroleum products into the ocean and its coastal waters‚ bays‚ and harbors‚ or onto land‚ or into rivers or lakes (Holum 1977). Between one and ten million metric tons (one metric ton is 1000 kilograms) of oil are put into the oceans every year. The oil is released‚ most often‚ in small yet consistent doses from tankers‚ industry‚ or on shore waste disposal (Boesh‚ Hersher‚ et al. 1974). Tanker spills cost the United
