association between ambient air pollution and lung cancer. This evidence lead the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) to report air pollution as a category 1 or definite cause of cancer. The IARC reviewed over 1000 studies from five continents and covering many different scientific fields. They concluded that air pollution is linked to increased cancer incidence, with lung cancer being the most prevalent (Pope, 2013). Air pollution occurs when the air is contaminated by foreign substances

The PBS documentary, Poison Waters, is a documentary on the disastrous state of America’s major water bodies that continue to be polluted by state governments and companies.

Problem statement One of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence gathered from an aircraft accident is the collection of information contained in the Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder. CVRs and FDRs paint an often haunting, but frequently useful picture of what occurred during the last minutes of an accident flight. This is not to say, however, that the recorders are always conclusive, or even useful. There are a handful of cases where the CVR and FDR tapes have broken, failed to record

It pollutes the air when bad exhaustion comes out of the tails pipes of a vehicle. Most cities have a law emission test requirement for vehicles that reside in the city. Rural areas, such as where I live, do not require an emissions test. I believe that every vehicle that

Respirators are defined by Merriam-Webster as, “a device worn over the mouth and nose to protect the respiratory tract by filtering out dangerous substances (as dusts or fumes) from inhaled air” (Merriam-Webster). The use of respirators are common today in both industrial and household settings. The earliest known idea for a respirator can be traced to Pliny the Elder over 1900 years ago.
