Deepwater Horizon oil spill is one of the biggest and controversial oil spill in the world. In one of the President Barrack Obama’s interview‚ he stated that “the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced” (Horowitz). This oil spill affected and left significant damage to human‚ animals‚ and to the environment that will last not just years‚ but centuries‚ or maybe more.

The Consumer Protection Act‚ 1986 Introduction The earlier principle of “Caveat Emptor” or “let the buyer beware” which was prevalent has given way to the principle of “consumer is king”. The origins of this principle lie in the fact that in today’s mass production economy‚ where there is little contact between the producer and consumer‚ often sellers make exaggerated claims through advertisements‚ which they do not intend to fulfill. This leaves the consumer in a difficult position with

The science applied in this stressful situation involved many experts in the field‚ creative engineers‚ and resolving mechanisms‚ involving vessels‚ dispersed chemicals‚ and remotely operated vehicles. First‚ the puncture of the sunken Deepwater Horizon was sealed using robotic aids. Next‚ a new mechanism‚ a dome like cap‚ was installed at the ocean floor for the leak of the well on May 7‚ 2010 (Landau‚ 2011). This

Overview Chemical Warfare is using the chemical properties of a substance to your advantage during war. This has been going on for centuries. Even the most basic forms of weapons were used. People have been putting poison on the end of their spears and arrows since they have been around. Over the years‚ it has also developed into much more advanced chemistry. In this article‚ I am going to focus on the more advanced‚ modern uses of chemical warfare in World War I and World War II. World War

is invariably affected. The first way in which the environment is affected by the oil industry is through both the drilling and the transportation processes. The chemicals used in the drilling can be harmful to the environment‚ drilling itself poses a great danger‚ for instance in case of an oil spill (as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill showed)‚ and as the Exxon Valdez disaster so evidently portrayed‚ transportation can be equally as devastating to the environment. In addition to this‚ the actual
