Introduction Energies are many folds‚ they are available naturally‚ and are also made available through science and technology in different ways‚ intended for the purposes we desire. This light that enables us to see‚ the x-rays (which gives us pictures of bones and soft tissue)‚ the gamma and ultraviolet rays (which are used for sterilization)‚ infrared‚ the microwave (microwave ovens and cell phones)‚ radio waves‚ extremely low frequency waves etc. are all packed in the radiation that emanates

Peanut husks‚ one of the biggest food industry waste products‚ could be used to extract environmentally damaging copper ions from waste water‚ according to researchers in Turkey. Writing in the Inderscience publication the International Journal of Environment and Pollution‚ the team describes how this readily available waste material can be used to extract toxic copper ions from waste water. The discovery offers a useful alternative to simple disposal of this ubiquitous food industry waste product

The Uses and Health Related Claims Made for Radium during the Early 1900s During the early 1900s‚ newly discovered radium was quite popular. People were awed by its mysterious properties rather than it lethal affects. Many uses were found for its luminescence when mixed with a phosphor. Initially‚ radium was widespread among everyday necessities such as toothpaste‚ hair tonic‚ ointments‚ elixir etc. Furthermore‚ radium was also one of the first cancer treatments; it was used as a radiation source

known as Black Rain‚ is the residual radioactive material propelled into the upper atmosphere following a nuclear blast or a nuclear reaction conducted in an unshielded facility‚ so called because it "falls out" of the sky after the explosion and shock wave have passed. Some basic information It commonly refers to the radioactive dust and ash created when a nuclear weapon explodes‚ but this dust can also be originated in a damaged nuclear plant. This radioactive dust‚ consisting of material either

safety is very important for many reasons. One being radiation poisoning‚ which is a risk that Chernobyl showed in 1986‚ when the reactor failed. Chernobyl was a nuclear power plat which blew one of its reactors on April 26‚ 1986. The explosion blew radioactive particles all over the Ukraine and the surrounding countries. “Nuclear energy is energy that is produced when atom change.” (Stoyles‚ Pennie P.6) This same process can be used for building something up or tearing things apart. Is this technology

Nuclear power is “safe”. The UK now has enough radioactive waste to fill the Royal Albert Hall five times over. It is more reliable than other types of power and creates very little emissions. However the cons just outweigh the pros. Where is all this waste meant to go to? The waste will probably end up in the environment harming the earth. It is deemed safe but an accident occurred‚ the consequences would be catastrophic like the Chernobyl disaster. It has been twenty years since the worst nuclear

accident is Fukushima nuclear accident that occurred on March 11‚ 2011. An earthquake and tsunami caused Fukushima accident in Japan. The potential danger from a nuclear accident is exposure to radiation. Exposure could result from the release of radioactive material from a nuclear plant into the environment. ( Nagataki ) Based on studies on atomic bomb survivors‚ it is accepted that there is a linear increase in the risk of cancer with the increase of radiation dose. To

Following an earthquake‚ tsunami‚ and failure of cooling systems at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan on March 11‚ 2011‚ a nuclear emergency was declared. This was the first time a nuclear emergency had

Depletion In The End. I. Industrial development destroys the environment by left over and residue materials such as: | a. High concentrations of metals; b. Toxic substances and chemically changed minerals; c. Debris and litter; d. Radioactive infected ground at industrial sites. | II. Large-scale soil erosion because surface soil washes away due to influencing water tides and winds streams. | a. Intensive plowing and draining of farm land. b. Planting of genetically singular crops
