POLLUTION FROM DIESEL ENGINES AND ITS CONTROL Diesel engines and gasoline engines are the most widely used primary sources of power in automobiles and the sheer number of them makes the issue of emissions from these engines an important one. Table 1 gives a comparison of the amounts of different pollutants in the exhaust of diesel and petrol engines. FORMATION OF NOX AND CONTROL METHODS: The main source of NOx in diesel engine emissions is the oxidation of the nitrogen in the air at the high temperatures

cutting back on water pollution is defiantly one of the more important/ practical ones that anybody could start doing. Yes‚ we should defiantly start to cut back on water pollution or start trying to prevent it because it could cause future problems in the ocean environment and for the next generation of people to live on this earth. Water pollution could change the environment in the water chemically and biologically ‚ it’s a huge health issue to people who are in taking the water for drinking‚ and

The main purpose of this lab was to synthesize four soaps and two detergents and determine which one would be the best for an environmental group to use in the event of an oil spill.1 To complete this task‚ five subgoals had to be achieved first. To find the solubility of the fats‚ oils‚ soaps‚ and detergents‚ each of them were placed into different solvents to see if they dissolved. None of the oils and fats were soluble in water (H2O)‚ sodium hydroxide (NaOH)‚ or hydrochloric acid (HCl)‚ but they

WHAT IS POLLUTION? Explain the term “pollution’’. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment that causes instability‚ disorder‚ harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy‚ such as noise‚ heat or light. Pollutants‚ the components of pollution‚ can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution exposes all people to risks of disease

What is soil erosion? Soil erosion is a natural process‚ occurring over geological time‚ and indeed it is a process that is essential for soil formation in the first place. With respect to soil degradation‚ most concerns about erosion are related to accelerated erosion‚ where the natural rate has been significantly increased mostly by human activity. Soil erosion by water is a widespread problem throughout Europe. Soil is naturally removed by the action of water or wind: such ’background’

everyone’s concern. The rate of pollution in our country is getting higher and has reached a dangerous level. Therefore‚ everyone must play a role in safeguarding the environment. Yet‚ before looking up for the ways to overcome this issue‚ we must find out the types of pollutions first. Firstly‚ one of them is air pollution. Nowadays‚ almost every family has at least a car at home. Although the car is convenient for our daily lives‚ the smoke emission from it is harmful to the environment

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy‚ such as noise‚ heat or light. Pollutants‚ the components of pollution‚ can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. Pollution is nothing but "too much of something at wrong place" and environmental pollution is generally defined

A soil horizon is a layer parallel to the soil surface‚ whose physical characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath. Each soil type has at least one‚ usually three or four horizons. Horizons are defined in most cases by obvious physical features‚ chiefly colour and texture. These may be described both in absolute terms (particle size distribution for texture‚ for instance) and in terms relative to the surrounding material‚ i.e. ‘coarser’ or ‘sandier’ than the horizons above and below

Soil Mechanics Soil is the most misunderstood term in the field. The problem arises in the reasons for which different groups or professions study soils. Soil scientists are interested in soils as a medium for plant growth. So soil scientists focus on the organic rich part of the soils horizon and refer to the sediments below the weathered zone as parent material. Classification is based on physical‚ chemical‚ and biological properties that can be observed and measured. Soils engineers think
