In this lab we tested the purity of water by looking for the chemicals free chlorine‚ chloride‚ sulfate‚ nitrate‚ copper‚ total hardness‚ iron‚ hydrogen sulfide‚ lead‚ pesticides‚ pH‚ total alkalinity‚ and total chlorine inside a water sample. The chemicals that produced a 0.0 result meant that there was no trace of that chemical inside the sample. The chemicals not found were copper‚ hydrogen sulfide‚ free chlorine‚ lead‚ iron‚ pesticide‚ and total chlorine. As a class we found the results of

versus environmental deterioration also has created a debate. Some economists argue that the on-site impact of soil erosion and other degradative processes are not severe enough to warrant implementing any action plan at a national or an international level. Land managers (farmers)‚ they argue‚ should take care of the restorative inputs needed to enhance productivity. Agronomists and soil scientists‚ on the other hand‚ argue that land is a non-renewable resource at a human time-scale and some adverse

Unknowingly eating contaminated food can be the root cause for thyroid cancer. Contamination can occur from the dust near the plant may settle on water‚ supplies‚ crops or grass. Crops are sold from the exclusion zone‚ rite across Japan; this can affect Japan as a whole‚ as contamination may spread across the country. (World Nuclear Association‚ 2012)

With that said‚ the recommended strategy is enhanced education‚ training‚ and dedicated employee observational stationing (salad bar). Although no solution is foolproof these enhanced safety measures add multiple levels of security aimed at the prevention of future intentional contamination with minimal cost structuring

Organisms are open systems that interact continuously with their environment. The study of the interaction between organisms and the environment; the connectedness between living systems and non-living systems on the Earth is called ecology. The term “ecology” which was coined by Ernst Haeckel comes from the Greek root words oikos logos literally meaning “the study of household”. Haeckel was referring to the interactions within the house of nature and we have used the word ecology (translated from
