4. The reason for the national policy for colour coding of cleaning equipment is to ensure that the same cleaning equipment is not used in multiple areas, therefore reducing the risk of cross-infection. Outcome 2 1. The three steps of the decontamination process are cleaning, disinfecting and sterilisation. Disinfecting is a process used to reduce the number of micro-organisms to a safe level for a defined procedure but which may not necessarily inactivate all viruses and bacterial spores.
What can be done to prevent mine drainage from damaging the ecosystem? Utilize at least one scholarly resource to support your suggestions. Answer = Mining damage can and will be incredibly damaging to the environment, ecosystem and water sources if not contained of properly. It is important to stop draining damage before it starts; otherwise, it is impossible to stop. “The most reliable strategy for preventing AMD is to submerge
They are modified with herbicides and pesticides so the uncertainty of health consequences of humans consuming the food grown by these seeds exists. It could take
The Maryland emissions board should be reactionary in making this happening, and especially hold power plants accountable if violations happen. New systems and technologies should be used or created in reducing the creation of pollutants. Even though plant owners may be reluctant in doing so due to cost and other factors, policymakers have the authority and should exercise that power by deciding what steps are needed in the improvement of the effect and role of what particle pollutant matter has brought. The community can step up in monitoring and being a watchdog, mainly because this is a direct effect of their community being affected. Air quality standards must consistently be reviewed and changed according to the statistics shown.
Easier access for predators could also affect species survival. Therefore, both the benefits and the risks that can result from corridors should be carefully examined during planning. Restoration This is a process whereby actions are taken to counter conditions in an altered community or ecosystem and return that area to a state as close as possible to its natural form. This may require extensive alterations including rebuilding the soil profile, land contouring, plantings, removal of domestic or feral species, and temporary exclusion of wildlife species, if feasible. Essential development components include mimicking historic soil, drainage, and foliage characteristics.
Products are being covered in marketing visuals claiming to make them appear greener however products that claim to be recyclable or better for the environment are actually regulated by federal regulations.

Maintaining a good ground cover and preventing seed set are crucial in stopping the spread and establishment of African rue. (Parson) * Physical control: Control of individual plants and small infestations may be achieved by digging out, hand pulling, burning, slashing, heavy grazing, or repeated cultivation. Sowing a dense cover crop will assist in preventing the re-establishment of African rue. (Parson) * Chemical control: There are currently no registered products for the control of African rue. However it is reported that spot spraying with Glyphosate prior to flowering may provide some control, repeat applications are necessary for effective control.
