Carbon Dioxide Case Studies Samples For Students

The global society embarks a large portion of its economy on the level of productivity initiated by industries, factories and manufacturing companies that employ several engineers to run the power plants. Information denotes that these are entities, which employs a large global population to enhance their ability to manufacture the final products. Critically, the entities require trained personnel to handle the material and machines in a professional and ethical approach securing the globe from side effects manipulated by the role of productivity (Davis et al, 40). Critically, sources assert that coal is an important product, which is, used to accelerate several activities ...

Theory of Global Warming and Climate Change

Greenhouse Gases and their Sources

Greenhouse gases are chemical compounds that are found in the earth’s atmosphere. These gases allow the sun’s harmful sunlight to enter freely in earth’s atmosphere. Three of the greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
Carbon dioxide is the main contributor to the manmade greenhouse effect. This gas is normally present; however, there are sources that add the carbon gas level in the planet. Humans, animals, and plants release carbon dioxide when they die. Also, smoke that comes out from factories, machines and vehicles add carbon ...

Abstract

The number of worldwide issues concerning environmental safety and corporate social responsibility has been on an ever-increasing rate. This is why we can also see a significant growth in the demand for environment-friendly and self-sustaining buildings. The number of domestic and international organizations that monitor and facilitate the standardization by means of a tiered certification of such buildings has also been on an ever-increasing rate. The LEED certification program is one of the most prominent ones in the U.S. and the UC Davis Brewery, Winery, and Food buildings have received platinum grade certification under such program. The objective of this paper ...

What are three major causes of chronic bronchitis?

The three major causes of chronic bronchitis are cigarette smoking, long time exposure to air pollutants (such as industrial or chemical fumes), and inhalation of toxic gasses (Madell, 2016).

What are the major pathologic airway changes are associated with chronic bronchitis?

Chronic bronchitis is the condition affecting human beings that cause a continuous irritation and inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tube. Bronchial tubes are airways that carry air to and from the lungs. Exposure to cigarette smoke, air pollutants, or toxic chemicals causes a persistent cough that leads to the formation of excessive amounts of sticky mucus in the airways that result in inflammation and fibrosis. The mucus blocks ...

Describe the underlying pathology of COPD and the common pathological characteristics of the condition. Discuss the impact these pathological changes have on normal function, including how alveolar ventilation might be different in Mr Wenham compared to a normal individual.
The hallmark pathological attributes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are one, poorly reversible airflow obstruction and two, a progressive atypical inflammatory response within the lungs. The abnormal inflammatory response denotes the responses of the innate and adaptive immune systems to long-standing exposure to noxious gases and particles especially cigarette smoke. Notably, all cigarette smokers have some degree of inflammation ...

1. How can the disease described above create a mismatch between ventilation and perfusion? Use your understanding of alveolar dead space and physiologic shunt to explain your answer.
In coal-miner’s pneumoconiosis, respirable coal dust that are inhaled for long periods of time trigger hyperactive immune responses that lead to destruction of the lung. At the beginning, coal dust particles are expelled out of the lung through the function of pulmonary macrophages beneath the epithelial layer of airways and near capillaries (Kopf, Schneider & Nobs, 2015). These macrophages phagocytize the dust particles and transport them to the lymphatic tree or ...

At the time this documentary film was shot the question existed whether the global warming was such an alarming issue, whether it would affect our planet so drastically, and whether our human race is the main cause for all this happening. Well, it was obvious, and it is even more obvious now that the answer is yes, and humanity is the main factor that is causing those climate changes.
About 15 years ago scientists all over the world would argue over the question of whether Earth has entered just another natural period of climate change that happens regularly ...

Introduction

This paper aims at evaluating concepts of alteration in homeostatic state, secondary to temporal variables. It analyses the case study of Brad, a 45-year old coal cutter who has held the job for 25 years. Brad is experiencing a chronic cough due to prolonged exposure to coal. Importantly, he has not been attending yearly checkups because he fears that his lung is “black.” The disease leads to fibrosis, reduced diffusing ability, and dilation of the small airways. In the final stage, the airways, alveoli, and pulmonary capillaries become damaged.

How the disease described in the case study creates incongruous between ventilation and perfusion

Chronic lung disease may induce mismatch in ventilation and perfusion ...

This happened in Belgium in June 1999, about thirty school children became ill after consuming Coca Cola products. This contamination ...

Introduction.

Atmospheric pollution can be described as the process to which chemicals, biological material or particulate matter, that are harmful to humans and other living organisms, are introduced into the atmosphere (Jacobson, 2002). Man is considered as the prime polluter of the earth’s atmosphere from his daily activities that involve release of hazardous gas into the atmosphere (Cheremisinoff, 2002). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers the following six pollutants as principle contributors to atmospheric pollution: Carbon Monoxide, Lead, Sulfur Oxides, Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Particulate Matter like Sulfates, Nitrates and carbon based molecules (Vallero, 2008).

Indoor air pollution and environmental impacts.
