burning plant will cause 30 deaths. · This technology is readily available, it does not have to be developed first. · It is possible to generate a high amount of electrical energy in one single plant. Disadvantages of nuclear power generation: · The problem of radioactive waste is still an unsolved one. The waste from nuclear energy is extremely dangerous and it has to be carefully looked after for several thousand years (10'000 years according to United States Environmental Protection Agency standards). · High risks: Despite a generally high security standard, accidents can still happen. It is technically impossible to build a plant with 100% security. A small probability of failure will always last. The consequences of an accident would be absolutely devastating both for human being as for the nature (see here , here or here ). The more nuclear power plants (and
transport. Other benefits Wastes do not perish. Instead of that, they become more valuable compost. The weeds in animal compost cannot germinate. Biogas has especially positive health effects in rural areas. Smell of animal compost disappears widely after biogas production. Also, disease agents threatening human health coming from animal waste become inactive. Health Biogas can have significant health benefits. According to the Integrated Environmental Impact Analysis carried out by BSP for 600 biogas users and 600 non-users, four percent more non-biogas users have respiratory diseases than those who own biogas plants. Qualitative information from various household surveys carried out by BSP has revealed that problems like respiratory illness, eye infection, asthma and lung problems have decreased after installing a biogas plant According to the Biogas Users' Survey conducted in 2000 with 100
ENERGY STORY Once upon a time, in a town not far away, there was an 8th grader who was afraid of the dark. Her name was Jules. She was also afraid of the quiet, and of the cold. So she always left on the lights, the TV, and stereo even when she had her I-Pod earbuds on. She took lots of very long, hot showers. She never walked anywhere, but got rides from her mom in a big SUV. She couldn't be happy unless she was using all the energy she possibly could for all the stuff around her. Her friend, Les, didn't like to use any energy at all. He walked to school, read books instead of watching TV, played the trumpet instead of Guitar Hero, and turned off the lights anytime he left a room. Then one evening, there was a power outage. The lights went out, the TV turned off, and everything became very quiet. Jules became very upset, and quite scared. She couldn't do anything that she wanted to do. She didn't think she could survive. Meanwhile, Les didn't
4.54.9 Harmful to the eggs of salmon and trout species (salmonids) and to adult fish when levels of Ca 2, Na and Cl are low 4.04.4 Harmful to adult fish of many types which have not been progressively acclimated to low pH 3.53.9 Lethal to salmonids, although acclimated roach can survive for longer 3.03.4 Most fish are killed within hours at these levels Environmental effects Very obvious environmental effect of acid rain is the loss of fish in acid sensitive lakes and streams. Loads of fishes are not able to survive in acidic water. There are 2 ways acid rain effects lakes and streams: chronic and episodic. The first one is long-term process and this acidification is result from years of acidic rainfall. Episodic, on the other hand, is rapid change sudden jump in the acidity of water. Acid deposition may influence forest vegetation and soils
Synthesis of Ibuprofen Ingrid Puusta Historical/commercial significance Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug For reducing pain, inflammation and fever Patented in 1961 by the research arm of Boots company and led by Stewart Adams Aim was to find safer product instead of Aspirin Industrial production follows Boots ` synthesis procedure Ibuprofen in body It acts on compounds called prostaglandins: Physiologically active lipid compounds having diverse hormone Found in almost every tissue in human They are derived enzymatically from fatty acids They bring out inflammatory response Ibuprofen's action as a painkiller and fever-reducing compound is due to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins It does this by interfering with the action of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase which catalyzes the conversion of a compound called arachidonic acid into prostaglandins 4 step Ibuprofen synthesis First step: Nucleophilic addition
Renewable energy Meriliin Lend Estonian University of Life Sciences Tartu 2013 Topics Renewable energy Solar energy Wind energy Hydroelectric power Geothermal energy Biomass energy Renewable energy Renewable energy comes from sources that naturally renew, or will not run out in our lifetimes. Includes sunlight, wind, water, geothermal heat and various forms of biomass. Renewable energy cannot be exhausted and is constantly renewed. Does not harm the environment. Saves money. Solar energy Solar energy is the technology used to harness the sun's energy and make it useable. Every hour the sun beams onto Earth more than enough energy to satisfy global energy needs for an entire year. Solar energy use has surged at about 20 percent a year over the past 15 years, thanks to rapidly falling prices and gains in efficiency. Solar energy is inexhaustible. Noise free. Does not harm the environment. Click to edit Master text styles Second l
GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of Earth's climate system. Since 1971, 90% of the increased energy has been stored in the oceans, mostly in the 0 to 700m region. Despite the oceans' dominant role in energy storage, the term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth's surface. Since the early 20th century, the global air and sea surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth's surface than any preceding decade since 1850. More than 90% certain that most of global warming was being caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities.In 2010 that finding was recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations. Affirming these findin
