It recommends bringing plants inside, which studies show can boost mood and fight depression. It also suggests opening a window to bring in natural light and sounds of nature. Additionally, the document advises exercising indoors through online videos and classes, as exercising releases endorphins similar to being outdoors.
Air pollution
Air pollution occurs when gases, dust, smoke or odors are introduced into the atmosphere, making the air harmful. It has both primary pollutants like carbon monoxide that are directly emitted, and secondary pollutants that form through chemical reactions. Major causes are emissions from industry, vehicle exhaust, and household chemicals. The effects of air pollution include damage to health, vegetation, and acid rain. Both individual actions like using public transit and government regulations on companies are needed to reduce pollution and protect the future.

Guan Guan Art College Application Portfolio
The subject of my portfolio is ‘environmentally friendly’, which has been divided into three parts. One part of it is about ‘save’ , the other parts are ‘paper waste’ and ‘haze’. The three parts use different media: a poster, a video and photography. My whole portfolio is a style of public service advertising, and all the data it includes I have researched in order to prepare this work. The first part ‘save’ is expressed with a poster, which shows a series of problems around food waste and electricity waste. The message is to saver these resources, not waste them. The second part is about paper waste that is expressed by the way of creative video. I believe it is more persuasive because it is inspired by daily life. I am very proud of this video work. The last part is ‘haze’, and is expressed with three groups of photos. These photos indicate how haze is generated, and what harmful effects it has on humans as well as how to prevent them.

Environmental engineering involves applying scientific knowledge to protect the natural environment and address environmental problems. It affects all living things, including humans, as well as ecosystems and the planet. There are three main areas of focus: air quality, land quality, and water quality. Air quality issues stem from pollutants like NOx, SOx, CO, and CO2 emitted from sources like vehicles, power plants, and industrial facilities, which can harm health and contribute to problems like acid rain, smog, and global warming. Land quality is impacted by pollution from activities like mining, landfills, and improper chemical use, which can be reduced by sustainable practices.

Using A Polymer As A Material For Carbon Dioxide
Here are a few essays on carbon dioxide gas:
Carbon Dioxide Gas and Climate Change
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas that is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil. It is also released from other
processes like cement production and deforestation. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the lower atmosphere and contributes to global
warming. Since the Industrial Revolution began around 1750, atmospheric CO2 levels have risen dramatically from 280 parts per million to over 400
ppm today. This rapid rise is largely due to human activities like burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation. The extra CO2 in the air is causing
5tj environment
The document discusses different types of pollution including air, water, and land pollution. It notes that air pollution is caused by burning fossil fuels which releases gases that contribute to issues like global warming and health problems. Water pollution can result from oil spills, dumping of waste, and farm runoff, harming wildlife and causing health issues. Land pollution from garbage and construction waste destroys wildlife habitats and affects the environment. The document encourages reducing pollution through actions like using public transportation, recycling, and not smoking to help address these issues.
Global warming lesson plan
This document provides a teacher guide for a lesson on what is causing global warming. It includes instructions for presenting a slide show, showing two video clips, and having students complete worksheets. The slide show covers factors that influence climate like the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases. One video clip is a 1-minute commercial downplaying the role of CO2, while the other is a 5-minute documentary supporting the scientific consensus on CO2's role. The teacher guide provides discussion questions to analyze the videos and evaluate scientific claims in the media. The goal is for students to understand natural and human factors affecting climate change.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Editor's Notes
- Activity 4: How can we improve air quality at our school? Children should work in small groups of up to 4 (5 at the most) for this activity. Pairs or threes will also work well. Explain that the children have learn about the causes of air pollution and identified sources of air pollution around their school. It is now time for them to think like the Mayor of Leicester and decided what they can do in our Air Quality Management Area to improve air quality. Task: Children should develop their own Clean Air Code – a bit like the Eco-schools code of conduct – a list of golden rules that advise pupils, teachers and parents how they can improve air quality. These rules need to be achievable and realistic (check understanding of these words). Children will need paper and pens for this activity. If there is time – children can think about other ways we can improve air quality at school. They can look at the ‘How can we improve air quality at our school’ list – would anything work particularly well at our school? Could it be adapted? What would we need to do, to make it happen?
