Protecting the environment from toxic contaminants such as pesticide, herbicide, and other Solvents are vital to the survival of the inhabitants of the respective environment. This is important because such contaminants, when released into the environment can create devastating health problems such as cancer in humans. This paper will evaluate three of the many carcinogenic chemicals that have the propensity to cause cancer and other health problems. Therefore, the paper will evaluate Agent Orange, DDT, and Benzene.

There was a high food shortage in 1946 and this caused many to ration. World War II left a deep wound in India as two and a half million Indian soldiers were sent to aid the allies and 24,000 killed. Many were unemployed as they lost their jobs after the war since there was no need for war production. Gandhi’s party, Indian national congress, created in 1885 seemed it would be the power that ruled after Britain left. This changed, however, as the All Muslim league became popular during World War II. Muslims were a minority compared to the Hindus. The Partition of 1947 created Pakistan, where the Muslims would live, and India, where the Hindus would live.

HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) Level II codes are updated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. HCPCS Level II codes are revised annually with implementation in Jaunary of each year. This means that coders have to stay up to date on all changes. Some of the ways coders can stay up to date include: getting updates from the CMS website; consulting with the ASCA website; network with other coders; and consulting local coverage determinations. There are also monthly newsletters published by the AMA called HCPCS Assistant that are considered an official coding resource by the CMS. The medical management software must be kept up to date to ensure the proper codes are being used. A coder should never use an older

Besides being entranced with the golden dome, “touchdown Jesus” also found a place in my heart. The Hesburgh Library is one of the most beautiful buildings on campus. It is appropriately named as well. Fr. Hesburgh was an influential leader on campus and throughout the world; he was an advocate for peace rather than violence. Under his tenure, the first female class was admitted into the university, and after serving as president, he was able to witness the first African-American valedictorian. I am sure a dream of Fr. Hesburgh was fulfilled on that spring day. Even after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, he continued to fight for equality in housing, employment, and higher education for minorities. Hesburgh’s attitude toward equality

“The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, also known as MHPAEA is defined as a federal law that prevents group health plans and health insurance issuers that provide mental health or substance use disorder benefits from imposing less favorable benefit limitations on those benefits than on medical or surgical benefits” (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, para 1). Originally, MHPAEA applied only to group health plans and group health insurance coverage, but was “amended by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” to also apply to individual health insurance coverage (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, para 2). “The Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 (MHPA) defined that large group health plans could not impose annual dollar limits on mental health benefits that are less favorable than any limits imposed on medical or surgical benefits” (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, para 6).

The 2017 Veteran of the Year honoree is United States Marines Corps Lance Corporal William R. Prom, who made the ultimate sacrifice on February 9, 1969. Enlisting in the Marines in December of 1967, LCpl Prom was assigned to Company I, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, 3rd Marine Division when he arrived to Republic of Vietnam in the summer of 1968.

Clemmitt is saying that more and more kids are wanting to do online classes. It should not only be for the ill, and pregnant, but rather for everyone who wants to do it. Why would someone want to go to a brick building when they could be learning from your comfortable chair at home instead of a hard plastic chair in a public school. Fine also

PCBs were once used in electrical gear, paints and flame retardants, but were banned from the 1970s because of their toxic effect in humans and animals. It impacts on human and animal health by causing cancer, suppressing immune system and causing reproductive problems. "Europe is a big big hotspot” scientists said and some populations of killer whales are facing extinction because of it. They also added that the global policymakers should act quickly and decisively to tackel the toxic legacy of PCBs, before it’s too late for the important marine predators to be extincted.

The Post Hoc multiple comparison in Table 5 shows that among the three bacterial cocktails, the most potent is PAECI-003. This is supported with the p value of the three different bacterial cocktails; this signifies that in the Null hypothesis of the study only the PAECI-003 bacterial cocktail should be rejected. Remarkably, the result of bacterial count supports that the number of bacteria is a factor to degrade the hydrocarbon present in a controlled amount. Generation time of the bacteria is also considered as a factor as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanii doubling time is 45 and 48 minutes respectively (Moffatt, Harper, Harrison, Hale, & Vinidradov, 2010). The result also showed that the PAECI-003, which is a bacterial cocktail

Research uncovering the harmful effects of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) production and pollution has advanced legislation in the United States and around the world. The controversy surrounding PCBs is largely centered on its possible adverse health effects on humans and animals. PCBs are man­made compounds that have been widely used in various electrical and industrial applications, including transformers and capacitors, electrical equipment, oil in motors, plastics, and construction. A key issue with PCB usage is that the compound’s structure is not biodegradable and persists in the environment for an extended period of time. PCBs and dioxin are among a class of similar toxic compounds that are persistent organic pollutants. PCBs have a

Although originally thought to be responsible for drug metabolism almost exclusively in the liver, it has now been realized that all xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes participate in many crucial endogenous functions, probably in every eukaryotic cell. The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are among the most important xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and are products of the CYP superfamily of genes [23]. High CYP bioactivity inter-subject variability occurs, and it has been largely attributed to gene polymorphism some of which affect enzyme activity and/or their transcription level

Polychlorinated Biphenyls, better known as PCBs, are stable, non-flammable, and heat resistant chemicals that were once used in electrical equipment all over the world ("PCBs," 2015). They were domestically made from 1929 until their ban in 1979 and since then they still remain a significant issue in the environment (“PCBs,” 2015). There is little information on why exactly they were initially created, but they were long used to prevent fires and explosions in electrical equipment. PCBs are very stable and considered an environmental hazard because of the amount of harm they are capable of doing. In humans and animals, PCBs have potential carcinogenic and neurological effects as well as harming the immune and reproductive systems.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental toxic compounds with fused aromatic rings, formed from incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials such as coal and fossil fuels, cigarette smoking, and food cooking.1,2 Non-occupational exposure routes of PAHs include: inhalation airborne PAHs such as polluted air or cigarette smoking, ingestion of PAH-containing food such as charred and broiled meat, as well as dermal absorption.3,4 PAHs can bioaccumulate through the food chain because of its nature of resistant to degradation.5 The adverse health effects of PAHs have been widely studied recently mainly focusing on increasing risks of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and a variety of cancers, including respiratory, renal, and breast cancers.6-15 Recently, several studies suggested an association between ambient air pollution and type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and ambient fine particulate matter (PM) may induce insulin resistance.16-21 Since air pollution as well as smoking and red meat consumption were consistently linked to cardiometabolic diseases such as diabetes,22,23 and all of them are important exposure sources of PAHs, it’s biologically plausible that PAHs may play important roles in the relationship between cigarette smoking, ambient air pollution and cardiometabolic diseases.

The common routes of exposure to DDT, and DDE occurs mostly from eating foods containing small amounts of these compounds, particularly meat, fish and poultry. Exposure may also occur with contact with DDT residues in airborne dust. (Fisher et al, 2003).
