These industrial activities have raised atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide which contribute to greenhouse gases. The extra amount of these gases mean there is a thicker layer, meaning the gases absorb outgoing long-wave radiation which traps in too much heat. Increasing amounts of CO₂, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour and ozone all contribute to this. The main cause in this rise is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas and petrol. Since the industrial revolution the levels of atmospheric CO₂ have increased from 280 parts per million to 380ppm for the past 10,000.
After my exercise my temperature was 37.4°C, my pulse rate was 134 beat per minute (bmp), my respiration rate was 35 respiration breath per minute (Rpm) and my blood pressure was 135 over 74 millimetre of mercury (mmHG). There was an increase in my physiological measurements from pre-exercise to post-exercise. My pulse rate increased after exercise because the heart had to beat faster for it to circulate her blood which carried oxygen to the cells. My cells needed enough oxygen supply due to the exercise I did therefore my heart provided the cells with more oxygen which made the pulse rate beat faster. Another reason why my pulse rate increased was because my body was getting rid of waste gases which are CO2 and H2O that are products of respiration.
Once more alkali is added to this, the solution will begin to increase again in pH, going up to 12 – 14, and being blue/purple in colour through testing with indicator. This would be because there would then be more OH- ions. Hypothesis and prediction: Concentration of an acid affects the pH during a titration. As the concentration of the acid increases, I predict that the volume of alkali needed to change the pH to reach an end point will also increase. I also predict that doubling the concentration of acid will require double the amount of alkali to reach an end point.
The summer of 2000 showed a softening in the overall charcoal category and some consumers switching to gas grilling due to increased pricing. Research analysis showed that the charcoal category declined in growth from 4 percent in 1998 to 2 percent in 1999. While competitors such as Royal Oak and private label brands increased their prices, Kingsford was faced with the question of whether they should do the same. Upon receiving all the necessary data and information, brand managers Marcilie Smith Boyle and Allison Warren focused on four areas of development: pricing, advertising, promotion and production capacity. The 10 percent increase of private label bags led to some consumers switching to gas grilling and others moving to the Kingsford brand, increasing its market share.
Factories became automated. Machines and other improved manufacturing techniques meant that huge amounts of goods could be made at a fraction of the cost. The age of mass production had arrived. In the decade of the 1920s economic output increased by a staggering 50%. Communications revolution – number of telephone doubled/ number of radios increased from 60,000 to 10 million.
According to a 2008 report by the EPA, the US generated 250 million tons of trash, averaging 4.5 pounds per person per day. This is an increase from the 88 million tons, or 2.7 pounds per person that was recorded in 1960. However, over that same time period there was an even greater increase in the amount of that waste that was recycled. Moving from a meager 5.5% of waste recycled in 1960, the US has increased to over 33% of total waste recycled in 2008 (Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the United States: Facts and Figures, 2008). Discounting the amount of waste that is recycled still leaves a difference of more than double in the waste creation between the years, but the exponential growth in the recycling amount provides information into a changing attitude.
To put this into perspective, according to Hinojosa-Ojeda's The Economic Benefits of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, "the budget of the U.S Border Patrol has increased by 714 percent, from $326 million to $2.7 billion in 2009." Moreover, "the cost ratio of Border Patrol apprehensions has increased by 1,041 percent, from $272 in 1992 to $3,102 in 2009." In addition, "the number of Border Patrol agents has grown by 390 percent, from 3,555 in 1992 to 17,415 in 2009" (Immigration Reform). The statistics are showing that as the U.S increases spending on immigration enforcement, the cost of capturing an illegal immigrant sky rockets while the number of agents America hires blows up the charts. As a result, the "budget for U.S. Customs and Border Protection has in total increased by 92 percent from $6.0 billion in 2003 to $11.3 billion in 2009" (Immigration Reform).
Also it feels like drinking water that its fresh and tasty. To think of the costs of bottled water can benefit something else. For example, according to The Earth Policy institute in Washington “In Praise of Tap Water,”it takes 1.5 billion barrels of oil to make the bottle water, which could fuel 1 million cars a year instead. It is totally right and I personally agree, but this 1.5 billion barrels could save many people’s lives
The digestion and absorption of the nutrients we consume draw the negative materials from the body. The body’s temperature stays at the same level and its acid-base balance will be healthy. When not enough water is consumed, major health problems may arise, such as: Headaches, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate: Ninety percent of the brain is water. For this reason dehydration’s first symptoms appear in brain function. It isn’t necessary to take medicine for every headache that develops: Drinking water is often the cure.
(U.S. EPA, 2005,para 12) The reason for using these disinfectants in the water systems like chlorine and chloramine is because they are effective and inexpensive and as it travels through the pipes it continues to disinfect traveling to the homes and businesses. (Flouride, 2012, para4).Now knowing this fact is the reason why the tap water has a distinguish taste to it and after a while traveling through the pipelines the lines tends to get rusty and gets into the homes and businesses and that is bad for the health. (Water and Health series, Bottled water basics, 2005,para,
