Pollutant Reports Samples For Students

The rationale of this report is to present results of the Emissions Inventory conducted for Northern Arizona University’s (NAU) criteria pollutant emissions. The report shall be in terms of both the emissions trends for the university and the resulting impacts these emissions have on the surrounding environment and human health. Emissions data collected by Northern Arizona University Industrial Hygienist, Jim Biddle, was used to create a comprehensive report of nine years of emissions data for NAU over a thirteen year time span (1999-2012). No data was available for the years 2000, 2002, 2004, or 2006.
The four criteria pollutants that ...

Land and sea polluted with petroleum-based synthetic and natural substances have led to the development of techniques using biological organisms for clean-up. The technique is called bioremediation. “Bio” refers to biology and “remediation” to clean-up. The types of microorganisms used are bacteria fungi and actinomycetes. Bacteria can be used for bioremediation under anaerobic or aerobic conditions. Actinomycetes are generally anaerobic and grow from spores forming filaments and branches. The applications and environment for optimum bioremediation varies depending on the pollutant and the biological organisms. Different combinations work better depending on the temperature, substrata and other environmental variables. The goal ...

Abstract

A transient experiment using index cards was used to demonstrate outside air pollution. The simple experiment involved the usage of simple day-to-day materials in a bid to find out the levels of air pollution at different areas of the outside wall. Using a close door house as a control, the hypothesis of the experiment was proven. This report highlights the analysis of the experiment.

Introduction

Air pollution is a wide expression practical to all physical that is particulate matter, chemical, and biological instruments that transform the natural features of the atmosphere. Other definitions as well regard physical perturbations for instance light pollution, noise pollution, ...

Biodiversity and sustainability, two of the major factors to determine if an ecosystem is habitable and sufficient for any life form, may it be fauna, fawn or human kind. However, there are only a few sites left around the globe which can be considered sustainable and contains biodiversity as climate change continues to affect the planet. Some areas have become barren, while a few remained arable but in the risk of being converted into commercial lands for homes or businesses. In the United States, the problem of pollution not only affected its once diverse ecosystem, which is considered the home of ...

Abstract

The most widely used fossil fuel around the world is coal. This is a component that carries both organic and inorganic components and hence its combustion over the years has led to environmental problems such as acid rain and sulfur dioxide emission. To combat this eco-system problem several combustion methods have been introduced and one of the most efficient means that has come to the attention over the years as a significant way is the Oxy alkalinolysis.
In the past, there have been various desulfurization processes, which have been introduced. However, most of them have not given excellent results are ...
