PRELIMINARY CHEMISTRY ASSESSMENT TASK 1. Identify the sources of pollution which accompany the combustion of organic compounds and explain how these can be avoided. Combustion refers to the burning of a substance in oxygen. It is a process in which a self-sustained chemical reaction occurs at temperatures above those of the surroundings. Combustion of organic compounds can result in detrimental impacts on the environment such as the generation of acids and production of carbon monoxide, particulates and soot.
Conversely, Chemical plants can contaminate the pure water or create harmful diseases to humans and the Earth. The West Virginia chemical spill demonstrates the dangers chemical plants pose to our environment, and it is important to understand the devastating
Essay Describe the means by which to internalise the negative externality (if any) associated with emitting carbon into the atmosphere. A negative externality occurs when an exchange or transaction is made and the total cost of that transaction is not incurred by the parties involved in the transaction and the cost to society is greater than that the consumer pays. Negative externalities are a problem because the cost of emissions is greater than the cost to produce or buy. When carbon is emitted into the atmosphere it tents to hand around for a long period of time resulting in an increase in green house gasses causing an increase in radiative forcing. This causes the atmosphere to reflect heat back to earth and causes global temperatures to rise.
Because they are hazardous. As in documentary they showed in an ad that fracking is safe. But what they mean by safe? If water, air and noise pollution are created by fracking then how it is safe! Fracking also created huge natural losses such as it crates pollution, destruction of forests to create its pipe lines.
Atmospheric Pollution Environmental Science SCI 275 University of Phoenix July 29, 2011 BY Reigard U. Brown Sr. The paper that I am writing will be about one of the problems we have in the world is Atmospheric pollution. Atmospheric pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter that cause harm or discomfort to humans and living organisms in our atmosphere. There are many different ways that air pollution can be omitted into the air we breathe like pollution that comes from house cleaning products, older model cars, energy plants, and forests fire.
It is very corrosive and causes severe burns. It is very harmful by skin contact or by inhalation of dust. This cocktail together is used for getting into the ground and then it contributes to global climate change creating air pollution. They argue that fracking harms the environment and can hurt other living species such as bird, and fish. All of this is true; however, natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel and it has other advantages.
Such remedies such as recycling, purification, treatment, and management of wastes can diminish the issues of a detrimental environment. Air pollution is also caused by technology and human influence. Similar to water damage, air pollution is derived from chemicals and toxins which are released into the atmosphere. Thus, the toxins begin to reveal the depletion of natural resources. Fuel combustion and automobile transportation are two large factors of air pollution.
HCS/320 Communication and Crisis Paper By: Theresa Kamara Professor Tracey Collins A crisis is an unexpected situation that cannot be prepare for. It can negatively affect or poses harm to a person, town, country or community. Unexpected situations can cause panic paving the way for the worst outcome. Natural disaster and man-made disaster two forms of crisis. A natural disaster is an event that occurs due to the environmental factors of the earth.
A large problem is that humans do a lot of damage to our environment by taking down natural resources including trees and water. Humans are a share of the planets ecosystem. This means that everything we touch will cause disproportion of environment. In turn, our actions affect our world and us. The controversy of environmental pollution has affected our security of economic cost, causes harm to our health, destruction to our structures.
The command and control approach typically relies on detailed regulations followed by an ongoing audit and inspection program. Command and control regulations have some benefits. One example is in a situation in which the pollutant is highly toxic, yet the public concern would outweigh any economic efficiency concerns. Another example occurs when the reduction in the amount of pollutant benefits a society. An example of a disadvantage includes attempting to keep technology current with the most effective methods.
