One thing I do not understand with the Flint water is why isn’t anything being done about it? Everyone had recognized that it is a health hazard and that it needs to be corrected. No one has not done a thing about it. Is it better to brush it under a rug and ignore the problem and have it manifest into something worse because that it the direction that we are heading in. With any water the people are forced to move any where else and that’s if they can afford it or not and the rest have to indulge

reaction temperature by hot product stream. The product stream is cooled to –100 C and in doing it‚ all unreacted ethanol and acetaldehyde are condensed. The out going gaseous stream‚ containing hydrogen mainly‚ is scrubbed with dilute alcohol (alcohol + water) to remove uncondensed products and the undissolved gas. The remaining pure hydrogen (98%) is burnt in stack. The material and energy balance in a plant design is necessary because this fixes the relative flow rates of different flow streams and temperatures

Causes of Water Pollution * With environmentalism and green thinking reaching the pinnacle of public appeal in recent years due to global warming‚ an increasing focus has been put on stopping pollution‚ especially carbon dioxide emissions. As such‚ the main battle has been waged against air pollution‚ while water pollution has not been in the public limelight. This does not mean that the problem is any less important‚ or any less pervasive however. Water pollution is caused by the release of

Clean water is extremely essential for a healthy living. It is life’s most important basic necessity while dirty water is one of the deadliest killers. UN has estimated that 10 people die every minute from contaminated water. The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of all sickness and disease in developing countries is due to unsafe water. As water pollution is one of the most widespread problems and it has deadly effects‚ I chose this topic. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency‚ an average US family of four uses about 400 gallons of water from their daily activities such as: taking shower‚ laundry‚ washing dishes and flushing the toilet [1]. This water consumption is without taking into account the water that goes into the food they consume‚ clothes

Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region. It currently affects around 2.8 billion people around the world‚ on all continents‚ at least one month out of every year and more than 1.2 billion people lack the access to clean drinking water.[1] Water scarcity can be a result of two mechanisms: physical (absolute) water scarcity and economic water scarcity‚ where physical water scarcity is a result of inadequate natural water
