countries and air pollution, China, one of the many developing countries, has serious issues dealing with the pollution in the air as it is worsening. Almost all of China’s residents living in more rural places use solid fuels, which includes biomass and coal (Zhang et. al 2007). Although it is not outdoor pollution, it is indicated that indoor pollution in China causes about 420,000 premature deaths per year. This is more than 300,000 which were attributed to the urban outdoor air pollution (Zhang

even if it meant living in a tenement faced with overcrowding and safety issues. Most tenements had few if any windows, poor ventilation systems which led to bad air quality, which in turn led to the development of sickness and diseases. The tenements also were extreme fire hazards with no viable escape routes, and most had no indoor running water or plumbing

In the factories, it is essential to provide light that is natural as possible to enable the workers accurately see the components and products, hence identify any defects or quality issues. For a restaurant space, a comfortable and relaxing light is a great way to make the customers enjoy their meals and stay. Such an environment will increase the time and money the customers spend in the restaurant or a shopping mall. In a

Also, mnn.com states that LA Long Beach Riverside was “ranked #3 in long term particle pollution, #1 in ozone pollution and #4 in short term particle pollution”. The problem may be arising from the vast usage of cars, coal fired power plants which consumes more energy and electricity etc. According to sciencedaily.com, Dr. Weaver mentions that “Air pollution shortens lifespan

their homes with high-performance, custom-built replacement windows, choosing a style may be the easiest decision they make, or the hardest. Some people are happy with the way their home looks, but are tired of the drafty corners and high heating and air conditioning bills.

Coming to The Pennsylvania State University I was excited to learn, meet new people and have fun, and I have been able to do most of those, however, it is sometimes difficult with the scalding oven that is my dorm room. To help fix the problem that my fellow students and I are experiencing, I propose that the university either install central air conditioning in all dorms, or, barring that, install air conditioning units in dorm rooms, in order

The chemicals in use in our school are those that cause damage to our health, they cause this damage with ingredients that are not completely user friendly. A watershed is a drainage basin, which is a natural depression in the earth’s surface, usually containing water, and a divider that separates different areas. Here in Colorado we have two main watersheds, but we

is a key world issue now, it is important to keep in mind where companies produce their resources. If concrete was not responsibly sourced then a lot of unwanted issues could arise. For example it could lead to the concrete not being of the same quality as a responsibly sourced one. Also it may increase the carbon footprint and cause global warming if responsibly sourcing was avoided to keep costs low. Although the short-term effects of using cheap concrete is good the long-term effects of responsibly
