that the principles of moist wound healing used today was developed. The adoptions of various techniques throughout time to cleanse wounds and promote healing have included topical treatments such as the use of boiling oil‚ honey‚ diluted wine and seawater. In clinical practice‚ the principles of wound cleansing have been misunderstood resulting in the unsuitable and ritualistic use of cleansing solutions (Morison et al‚ 1997). Nurses sometimes do not question as to why they are cleansing the wound

Everyone knows that water is essential to human life‚ but one third of the world’s population lacks sufficient access to safe drinking water and sanitation to meet their basic needs. [www.gwp.org]Every year 3 million people die prematurely from water-related diseases in developing countries. [www.gwp.org] 884 million people in the world still do not get their drinking-water from improved sources‚ almost all of them in developing regions.

4) Oil spills 5) Marine Fisheries Acidification of water Ocean acidification is the name given to the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth’s oceans‚ caused by their uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Dissolving CO2 in seawater increases the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in the ocean‚ and thus decreases ocean pH. Acidification of water will harm calcareous animals and corals it can cause coral bleaching and can affect the propagation of sound shipping and the noise made

Levels above 175 mg CaCO3/L reduces natural food production in ponds which‚ in turn‚ leads to a decrease in optimal production. Salt water is slightly alkaline and has a strong buffering capacity so alkalinity is not usually of concern for most seawater and brackish water aquaculturists. 2. Biochemical oxygen demand ( and COD) It is a measure of the amount of oxygen required by bacteria‚ algae‚ sediments and chemicals over a set period of time. BOD is of importance in aquaculture because
