Instead you smell a pungent mustard aroma‚ struggling to breath‚ it subsides after a couple of minutes. Without knowing it you have been exposed to a new chemical used by the Germans‚ code named LOST‚ which referred to the last names of the

Urban transport policy in Singapore is becoming more difficult to handle. In the early 1970s Singapore faced traffic chaos‚ a failing bus system‚ little money for infrastructure and acute awareness of space limitations. The answer was a hard-headed “bargain” that offered steady improvements in space-efficient public transport at the price of making ownership of space-wasting cars unattainable for most. This has been widely seen as a success However‚ both sides of this bargain are under growing

Gaseous exchange and transport Movement of chemicals in plants and animals -Chemicals that are being moved into the body‚ within the body or out of the body are gases‚ this movement is known as gaseous exchange. -The gases being moved in our out of the body need to move across the surface area of the body‚ in most cases a special surface area has been developed. -The surface that the gases cross is called the respiratory surface and the gases move across this surface by the process of diffusion
