Rust Inhibitors In The Connecticut

The first part of Toms River by Dan Fagin goes into detail about the history of the chemical industry in New Jersey with the Ciba plant producing dyes and epoxy and their methods of disposing of waste and what effect that had on surrounding individual’s health. There were many groups of people who were exposed to the toxic chemicals produced in the waste products of dyes and epoxy from the Ciba plant. People who were working the factory typically had peak exposure because they were required to scrape and dispose of the waste chemicals daily. Residents of a neighborhood downstream the factory who typically had personal wells and were not customers of Toms River Water avoided the chemically traced water directly from the river for some time,

If you live in a place that gets cold in the winter, you've probably seen trucks out spreading a mixture of sand and salt on the streets after a snowfall to help de-ice the road. Have you ever wondered how this works? This basic

There has been contamination found in the groundwater surrounding all four towns. The groundwater is contaminated with VOCs, trichloroethene (TCE), ethylene dibromide (EDB), carbon tetrachloride (CCI4), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, vinal chloride, 1,1,2,2-TeCA, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, manganese, thallium, lead, toluene, and RDX. “Ethylene dibromide is especially worry some because it was found upwelling in cranberry bogs located in Falmouth and Mashpee (militarycontamination)”. Where it would was stored in the cranberries skin. “Falmouth being the most affected area losing twenty five percent of its possible drinking water supply (wr.usgs)”. Although the plumes are deep down in the aquifer. “People could be at risk if they accidentally drink the water or come into direct contact with the contaminated groundwater (militarycontamination)”. The way towns keep the residents from coming in contact with the possible risks of

Next, according to the article “Iowa’s Nasty Water War”, (2016) claims that innocent people are at risk for major health problems. A specific example is shown with the Raccoon river that runs right through Iowa. Farmers are spraying their fields with fertilizers to help the crops grow with few problems which sounds like a great idea until a study had shown that there was a large amount of runoff from three rural counties near by. When nitrates are ran into a water supply and a infant consumes it such as in the child’s formula the nitrates constrict the oxygen in the baby's blood thus turning the child a light blue. Others that are vulnerable are pregnant women and the elderly because they have such weak immune systems and are susceptible to

Bridgeport is Connecticut’s largest city with a population estimated at 147,629 residents. Located along Long Island Sound at the mouth of the Pequannock River, the city has an area of 19.4 square miles. Bridgeport experiences warm to hot and humid summers and cold, snowy winters. These seasonal extremes are somewhat moderated by Long Island Sound. This results in a lower average temperature in summer and moderate snowfall, as compared to our neighbors inland. The city receives 41.7 inches of precipitation and around 25.6 inches of snowfall in an average year. The snowiest winter on record occurred in 1996 when Bridgeport received 76.8 inches in total accumulation. Bridgeport is located on Long Island Sound and is bordered by Fairfield, Connecticut

In this week’s article summary, the author explains the methods and processes for slow rust bluing. And some of the reasons one might choose this method for the bluing task that then needs to be completed.

People feared that these slurry-impoundments would collapse and cause direct harm to their community. The young and elderly were so terrified of the collapses that they often times slept fully clothed. Some schools had to permanently close due to conditions caused by the slurry-impoundments. These impoundments have even killed many school children. While it didn’t happen in West Virginia, a very similar compound in Wales spilled over and killed 144 people. 116 of these people were children who were attending school at the time. Disasters like these should no longer be cautionary tales to slurry-impounds in West

Stainless steel may be pitted over time when salt is used to cook foods unless the salt is added to boiling liquid.

In this short paper I will cover my thoughts on the article provided for this week’s article summary, “Slow Rust Bluing: Science or Alchemy, American Gunsmith March 2009, by Dan Herman.” It’s not all that often that I’m eager to read one of these articles we’re given for article summaries. The bluing process interests me immensely, and I can’t wait to get to a point where I can re-blue a firearm to see how badly I do on my first job…lol.

The pit is highly contaminated with heavy metals and acids. The water in the Berkeley Pit has a very high concentration of heavy metals. As the water filled the pit the water picked up leftover copper, iron, arsenic, cadmium, and zinc. Because of all of the massive amounts of metal deposits in the water the pit’s water is red and lime-green in color. The persistence of the heavy metals in the pit water and surrounding areas will be hundreds of years before the concentration thins out. The pit’s critical water level is 5410 ft. Once the water reaches this level it will begin to contaminate surrounding ground water, and potentially spread down the Clark Fork River. This pit, filled with toxic, contaminated water, is an environmental hazard. The water in the Berkeley pit is a poison, as it killed a flock of migrating snow geese, which will be discussed below. MGMB says “A long-term

and this causes excessive damage as there are a few more precautions that they could take to help reduce

Erin Brockovich, a 2000 Jersy Film Production, staring Julia Roberts is based on a true story that involved Pacific Gas and Electric Company using hexavalent chromium or chromium six as a rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion of pistons used in engines. According to the movie, for fourteen years, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company had been dumping water containing chromium six into ponds and covering them over. The ponds were not lined and the chromium based water leaked into the local water supply exposing residents of Hinkley, California to chromium six. Repeated exposure to hexavalent chromium causes chronic headaches, cancer, nose bleeds, bone and organ deterioration, respiratory failure, liver failure, heart failure, bone or organ

Many Californians living in the coastal areas get little exposure to driving in snowy conditions. This lack of practice can cause problems when driving in inland areas, especially the mountains. When visiting or vacationing in these places, drive safely and avoid a car accident using these six tips:
