One resource that is at high risk of being contaminated due to fracking is water. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that up to 140 billion gallons of water are used for 35,000 wells each year. Fracking procedures are even excluded from the safe drinking water act of underground injection controls and regulations except when diesel fuel is being used. That means these companies that perform fracking procedures avoid using diesel so that we have no idea what they’re putting in to the ground. Even some states allow fracking to be exempt from state water use regulation, an agreement limiting large water withdrawals; despite the fact that each fracking well uses up to five million gallons of locally sourced water.
1. Elizabeth Royte’s question “For now, what should we be drinking?” is answered throughout the excerpt by saying that tap water is no better than bottled water. Although bottled water labels say their water comes from the best of the best types of filter, its often a lie and comes from the same type of water that comes through your tap water, according to Royte. She supports her conclusion throughout the whole excerpt with specific example and evidence. Although she has a water filter in her tap water, she believes it is almost the same without one.
(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,
The reason why most athletes choose Gatorade over water is because the ingredients in Gatorade refuel the body quicker than water. Athletes need to be able to get replenished instantly and they know that Gatorade will do it the best. If an athlete only has a few moments to take a breather, he can get a quick drink of Gatorade and go back to his activity much more energized than he was before. The Gatorade company tries its best to keep the consumer hydrated. "Gatorade focus has always been fluid replacement" (Theodore).
The pH meter was calibrated using standard pH solutions provided. The pH electrode was washed with distilled water before being dipped in each solution in a small beaker.
show "The Doctor's" they had 2 medical Doctors and two food scientists, The claims of GMO's causing health problems was the concern. The Dr's said they know that in the last decade food allergies have tripled and there are more auto immune diseases, food allergies and developmental problems, especially in small children. They all agreed there is no scientific proof that GMO's cause any of these problems but all agreed that it is being studied now in the United States so as consumers we need to know, They do not know the long term effects on GMO's what we do know is that GMO's are banned in at least 60 countries for health or religious reasons. There is so much more to learn from this in the next week as the election gets closer and the campaign heats
Creatine Creatine monohydrate, it’s in many sports to get what they call ‘’bigger’’, but what they don’t know is the truth about Creatine and what it does to your body. If you go to gnc.com you will see nothing but good reviews, I mean they have to sell their product somehow. When you take Creatine you take it before a work out usually in gartorades or water but with water it is not a very good taste. After you take it you want to drink a lot of water because if you do not the powder sits in your liver and can do some damage, I have taken creatine one time, I would not go and tell people to take it, because it is not a easy thing to take you have to drink a lot of water just to get it away from sitting in your liver. People usually take it to get bigger faster stronger but the truth is that, it will
Soon the tanning business would decrease as the government put a federal tax and raised the age limit so high as an awareness to those that indoor tanning is indeed health risky. Nearly 28 million people tan indoors in the United States annually. Of these, 2.3 million are teens. Since the 1970's the age limit of tanning was 14 years of age, although long before skin cancer increased it was normal to have an all-year round tan. However as years flew by, the age limit of
The Role of Basin-Less Baths in Reducing Hospital Acquired Infections Patients come to the hospital for treatment, but hospital acquired infections occur in one in 25 patients a day (Centers for Disease Control, 2014). In 2011, “75,000 hospital patients with HAIs died during their hospitalizations” (Centers for Disease Control 2014). Despite the understanding of evidence based practice measures to prevent HAIs, most hospitals are inconsistent with prevention compliance (Krein, Kowalski, Hofer, and Saint, 2012). The treatment of HAIs cost billions of dollars (Centers for Disease Control, 2014). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conducting laboratory research to promote understanding and treatment of HAIs in the nation’s
Blair Zuo English 135-06 Prof. V. Warder July 29, 2014 The effects of the use of Bottled Water Whether to prohibit the development of bottled water has been an issue in society, some experts suggest drinking more tap water in term of environment protection and health care, however, the bottled water companies hold a strong opinion that there is no connection between these two things. In the “Water bottles- A letter to the Editor and a response” written by John Challinor and Richard Rolke and the news “In Depth: Consumers: Bottled Water” reported by CBC News, both passages depict the effects of the use of bottled water through three different rhetorical strategies, which are language choices, the use of examples and the use of persuasive appeal. Language choice is the first difference between two passages. Although both authors expound heir statement with logical reasons, the CBC news is more specialized while the letter tends to be easier for the audience to understand. In the “Water bottles - A letter to the Editor and a response”, Challinor quotes that “about 70 per
