4Car carried out real-world fuel economy tests on eight low-emissions cars and all failed to meet the official figures. Three cars were as much as 10mpg short of the published fuel consumption rates. The tests examined the Golf Bluemotion‚ Skoda Fabia Greenline‚ Mini Cooper D‚ Honda Civic Hybrid‚ Toyota Aygo‚ Ford Focus Econetic‚ Fiat 500 1.2‚ BMW 118d‚ all of which are regarded as low emissions/fuel economy models. The Golf Bluemotion got closest to its official figures in the 4Car tests

amazing thing‚ but‚ this privilege leads to more serious problems than not getting somewhere on time. Car emissions produce three types of carbon - Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and hydrocarbon (CH4) - which are traumatizing both our health and the environment. By itself‚ carbon isn’t a harmful element‚ but one of its characteristics is easily pairing up with majority the elements in the periodic table. Its ability to bond is infinite; it can create many different substances without

INTRODUCTION Radioactive emissions are electromagnetic radiations which occur due to the spontaneous disintegration of unstable nuclei. Natural elements with atomic number greater than 83 and isotopes of some lighter elements are found to be radioactive. They are categorized as alpha‚ beta and gamma radiations. Alpha particles are positively charged helium-4 nuclei ‚ beta particles are high energy-high speed electrons while gamma rays unlike alpha and beta radiation have no mass and charge and

As a policy maker concerned with correcting the effects of gases‚ and particulates emitted by and local power plant. 1. What two policies could you use to reduce the total amount of emissions? Two of the most common methods of controlling and reducing emissions are incentives and penalties. These incentives and penalties can affect everyone from the general public to large‚ multinational companies. 2. Why do you think they each would work? Those who use more green methods in their everyday

An essential component of this mandate is the delivery of a safe‚ reliable and efficient water supply to satisfy the demand of all sectors of the economy. Whilst over the ensuing years there has been a steady increase in demand‚ there has not been the commensurate investment in infrastructure and the identification of alternative

For the observed 15-keV peak in X-ray energy‚ various models5‚6 give a competing picture of the discharge process‚ with the length of the gap between the separating faces of the tape being 30 or 300 mm at the moment of emission. The intensity of X-ray triboluminescence allowed us to use it as a source for X-ray imaging. The limits on energies and flash widths that can be achieved are beyond current theories of tribology.

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of six different types of waves. Radio waves‚ Microwaves‚ Infrared waves‚ Visible light‚ Ultraviolet light‚ X-rays and Gamma rays. The radio waves are used to transmit radio and television signals. The infrared waves are used to tell temperature of areas. Visible light is all the colors that we can see. Ultraviolet light can help things grow but to much can cause diseases such as skin cancer. X-rays are used as a tool to find broken bones or take pitchers

INTRODUCTION: The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Radiation can be said to be energy that travels and spread as it goes. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object has a different meaning‚ and is instead the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. We tend to witness different radiations of the electromagnetic spectrum without knowing‚ example is the visible light that
