Acid rain is caused by air pollution from cars, factories, and power stations emitting toxic fumes into the clouds. When it rains, the acid falls and pollutes lakes, rivers, forests, and other areas, harming plants and fish. Governments have tried to reduce air pollution and acid rain, but more needs to be done by using cars less and alternative energy to help the environment.

Letter to Congress for UM PUBPOL481
Doug Kripke, a nuclear engineering student and Pennsylvania resident, writes a letter to Representative Allyson Y. Schwartz expressing concern about the environmental impacts of increased fracking in Pennsylvania. He argues that pre-regulation fracking has been shown to be reckless and cause contamination. While natural gas can help meet energy demands, the process currently injects toxic substances and rapid expansion since 2007 risks irreversible environmental damage unless regulations are strengthened. Kripke urges the representative to support stronger fracking regulations to protect water, air, ecosystems and recreational areas in Pennsylvania.

Pollution is caused by unwanted changes to air, water, and soil from human activities. There are six main types of pollution: air, soil, water, noise, radiation, and thermal. Factories and industry, as well as global warming, are causing the earth to heat up rapidly. Water levels are rising and the environment is totally polluted, harming human health. As a result of all human activity, there is an ozone hole, rising sea levels, and melting ice caps. We must come together to save our life-giving mother earth by conserving water and energy and planting more trees.
Creating Better PowerPoints
The document discusses air pollution from fossil fuel power plants in the United States. It states that over 2/3 of US electricity comes from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. In 1999, power plants emitted over 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide, 12 million tons of sulfur dioxide, and 7 million tons of nitrogen oxides. Many older coal plants from the 1960s are not subject to pollution controls under the Clean Air Act. Plants subject to New Source Review requirements emit less sulfur dioxide per megawatt-hour produced.
Science resources
The document discusses different types of resources on Earth including renewable resources like air, water and land that can be naturally replenished and nonrenewable resources like minerals and fossil fuels that cannot be easily replaced. It provides examples of resources in each category and describes their importance. It also discusses the connections between different resources and how human activity can impact Earth's resources, promoting reducing, reusing and recycling to lessen the impact.

Various actions are recommended to reduce air pollution, such as recycling, riding bikes more often, using less power plants and private cars, and developing wind and solar energy. The thinning of the ozone layer from air pollution also harms living things. In conclusion, the document calls on people to help save the world by addressing air pollution.
East River CREW Camp
The document provides information about a summer rowing camp called East River C.R.E.W. The camp will remain in the E. 96th Street Cove, which is marked in blue, and focuses on safety, respect, and fun on the water. It lists contact information for Tori Gilbert and Mary Nell Hawk to get more details about the community recreation and education program on the water.
The Great Lakes Water Quality
Human activities have negatively impacted water quality in the Great Lakes. Factories release pollutants like PCBs, PAHs, mercury and other heavy metals into the water, killing wildlife and contaminating drinking supplies. Untreated sewage and invasive species introductions also degrade water quality over time. While policies aim to reduce pollution, more action is needed to clean up contaminated areas and protect the ecosystem health and local economies that rely on the Great Lakes.
Marc Palahi World Circular Economy Forum 2017 Helsinki Finland
Forests play an important role in climate change mitigation. As the global middle class expands by 2 billion people by 2030, a circular bioeconomy where biological resources replace fossil fuels could help ensure prosperity within planetary boundaries. Forests covering 43% of the EU are key to resilience as they support biodiversity, water, soil and provide a climate mitigation effect equal to 13% of emissions. Using wood in construction instead of cement and steel avoids 2 tons of CO2 emissions per ton of wood. Sustainable forest management can increase carbon sinks while reducing drought and fire risk, and forestry measures across the EU could increase mitigation potential by 35-70% by 2050.
Global Warming
This document provides an overview of a session on global warming, including its definition as the observed increase in average temperatures of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, primary causes as carbon dioxide emissions from human activities, and effects such as rising sea levels and increased extreme weather events. Prevention methods are also discussed like using renewable energy and public transportation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Presentació
The document discusses the greenhouse effect and its impacts. It begins by explaining that the natural greenhouse effect warms the Earth but industrial activity since the 19th century has increased greenhouse gases like CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide. This is causing global warming that could melt ice and raise sea levels. It then outlines how the major fossil fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and will continue to be relied on for energy for the next century. The document concludes by mentioning other air pollutants and recommending reducing waste by recycling, reusing, and reducing consumption to help address these issues.

Maiden Speech Outline
The document outlines the topics to be covered in a maiden speech, including an introduction about growing up in Mackay and how the town has changed over the past decade. The body will discuss the current state of the mining industry in Dysart and how job losses affect surrounding towns, concerns about water supply and management in Gladstone, Springsure and Blackwater. It will also address Capricornia's reliance on mining and the need to better support the agriculture industry. The conclusion will summarize the overall goals of a better economy, natural water supply and agricultural industry support.
Prezentacia 2
The document discusses the effects and causes of climate change, noting that 150,000 deaths occur each year in developing countries. Climate change will lead to rising temperatures, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and rising ocean acidity, as well as species extinction. The main causes are fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and industrial processes. To address this, governments could support renewable energy, energy efficient vehicles, and stop deforestation, while individuals can save energy by using less lighting, AC, and appliances and buying efficient cars.
Coal In Pa
Coal has been an important industry in Pennsylvania for over 250 years. In its peak in 1918, 330,000 miners produced 277 million tons of coal. However, production declined through the mid-20th century due to economic factors and the rise of other energy sources. Today, around 7,000 Pennsylvanians work in coal mining, producing around 75 million tons annually. While an important resource, coal mining can damage the environment through acid drainage, groundwater disruption, and landscape changes unless properly regulated. Pennsylvania still has over 76 billion tons of untapped coal reserves remaining.

Personal Opinion Coal Seam Gas
This document discusses the perspectives of different groups on coal seam gas (CSG) extraction and its impacts. CSG is an unconventional natural gas extracted through hydraulic fracturing from coal deposits. The process involves injecting water, sand and chemicals underground to release the gas. Executives view CSG as clean, affordable energy that creates jobs. However, environmentalists, indigenous groups and farmers have concerns about threats to the environment, indigenous lands, agricultural activities, and health from pollution, water contamination and clearing of bushlands. While CSG may provide short-term economic benefits, there are significant long-term risks and negative impacts on the environment, indigenous culture, and farming that need to be considered and addressed.

Thanks to Sarah Hender for providing some material
Hydro Energy (P Corry)
Hydro energy works by building dams to trap water from sources like lakes and rivers. The water builds up behind the dam, creating pressure. When released through tunnels with turbines inside, the water's pressure turns the turbines to generate electricity. Hydro energy has zero emissions and low operating costs once dams are built, but dams are very expensive to construct and can impact local environments. It provides a more sustainable alternative to power stations that burn fossil fuels and release greenhouse gases, as seen when comparing a coal-powered station to a hydroelectric dam. The document recommends hydro energy as a better long-term energy source due to dwindling fossil fuel supplies and its lower environmental impact.
Introduction and Background of "The River, the Bay and the Strait" public forum
The document discusses a public forum on whether South East Queensland needs a new dam. It provides background on the decision making process for the proposed dam and reasons why a dam is not needed and there are better alternatives. These alternatives include reducing water usage, capturing stormwater, dry cooling for power stations, and desalination. The document also summarizes presentations that were given at the forum about the ecology of estuaries and how river flows play an important role in maintaining a complex and balanced ecosystem.

Fact sheet CSG
Coal seam gas (CSG) is a type of natural gas found trapped within underground coal seams. CSG makes up over 87% of eastern Australia's gas reserves and is an important source of energy, supplying over 1 million homes and powering over 90% of Queensland's gas supply. CSG is extracted through drilling wells into coal seams hundreds of meters below ground, and removing the water that traps the gas, allowing the methane to be captured and distributed through pipelines. The CSG industry provides economic benefits through job creation and supporting regional communities, while gas is a lower emissions fuel than coal when used for electricity generation. Strict regulation aims to ensure CSG extraction is conducted safely and sustainably.
Coal power environment global perspective
Coal takes millions of years to form from decayed plants and is a nonrenewable resource. There are various types of coal classified by their carbon content. Coal is mined through surface or underground methods and is used primarily to generate electricity. While coal provides affordable, abundant energy, it also has significant environmental impacts including air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and negative health effects. The proposed Rampal power plant in Bangladesh would burn imported coal and use seawater for cooling to generate electricity.
Renewable Energy Research
The document discusses renewable energy and the need for its increased adoption. It notes that renewable energy sources like solar and wind do not emit greenhouse gases unlike fossil fuels. While renewable energy accounted for 9% of energy production in the US in 2020, increased adoption is needed to meet climate targets and reduce emissions. The document presents information on various renewable resources and discusses initiatives in Massachusetts to increase offshore wind and solar power capacity to transition away from fossil fuel dependence and meet its 2050 net zero goals. Case studies on private renewable energy companies developing wind, solar, and hydro projects in New England are also provided.

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

Renewable Energy Essays
Renewable energy resources like biofuels and wind power have great potential to meet the world's growing energy demands. This essay focuses on biofuels, which have seen significant production increases in key markets like Brazil, the US, and EU in recent years. Several developing countries are also exploring biofuel potential. While renewable sources show promise, the transition away from fossil fuels faces challenges as energy infrastructure and policies currently favor non-renewable options despite their environmental and supply issues.
Bio100 env.issue akhicks
Ball State's four coal-fired burners built in 1941 and 1955 are in need of replacement as they fail to meet emissions standards and efficiency is decreasing. They emit around 85,000 pounds of CO2 per year. While coal is cheaper than other energy sources, the environmental and health costs on surrounding communities exceed the monetary savings. Organisms like coral, mollusks and their shells are being negatively affected by rising ocean acidification caused by increased CO2 absorbing into the oceans. Ball State is replacing its coal burners with a geothermal energy system, which is projected to cost more initially but save $2 million per year and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50%.
Nuclear Energy and Climate Change
This document discusses the role of nuclear energy in addressing climate change. It notes that nuclear reactions produce energy that is one million times greater than chemical reactions. It summarizes climate scientist James Hansen's prediction that rising carbon dioxide levels from burning fossil fuels could cause sea levels to rise up to 18 feet by 2058. The document argues that nuclear reactors can generate electricity without carbon dioxide emissions, thereby reducing global warming.
Intro sustainable energy
This document provides an overview of a course on sustainable energy that aims to equip teachers to discuss complex issues around energy and climate change. The course covers motivations for changing energy production, including finite fossil fuel resources, energy security concerns, and the environmental impacts of climate change. It outlines sessions that will discuss energy consumption trends, various renewable and non-renewable technology options, and developing balanced future energy plans.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. 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.
