The Hawaiian Archipelago, for example, is among the longest and most remote island chains in the world. The 19 islands of the archipelago, including Midway atolls, receive massive quantities of plastic debris, shot out from the Pacific gyres (Smith, 2011). Some beaches are buried under 5 to 10 feet of plastic, while other beaches are riddled with “plastic sand”. One of the reasons marine debris accumulates in these islands is the movement of debris within the North Pacific Subtropical Convergence

INTRODUCTION1-4 Nifedipine is calcium channel blocker widely used clinically, in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension and angina pectoris.1. It has poor aqueous solubility, resulting in variable dissolution rates and often-irregular bioavailability.2 The combination of low aqueous solubility and rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract leads to its classification into class II of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System3. Pellets are agglomerates of fine powders

In this chapter ‘Nerds vs. Nurdles’ we discuss the beginnings of the other half of the Project Kaisei and a project with the New Horizon ship called the SEAPLEX voyage. This all started due to one of a new generation of ocean researchers named Miriam Goldstein. The chapter goes into enough detail about her origins and why she decided to become an ocean researcher. The young scientist is even quoted of calling herself an “accomplished barfer” for lack of better words. This is due to her not really

Plastic pollution makes up the majority of pollution problems all over the world, on land and off land. There are few solutions to fixing this pollution problem overall because of plastic properties. The pollution in the ocean poses a great problem to marine ecosystems, and to the health of the human population due to its durability. Over the years the consumption of plastic products has risen a marginal amount making the issue of pollution even larger (“When the Mermaids Cry: The Great Plastic Tide”)

Plastic is lightweight, strong, inexpensive to provide to consumers, and has a chemical makeup that does not allow it to decompose during our lifetime. This is a problem because plastic’s success in our society is causing us to overuse a product that is designed for temporary use with a material that lasts for centuries creating a buildup of plastic within our landfills. The high mobility of plastic bags makes them particularly problematic in society. Because of Cleveland’s proximity to Lake Erie

Science Fair Research Paper Zachariah Alzubi and Yosef Ismael Best Methods of Recycling Plastics Recycling has grown rapidly over these past few decades. Almost every single household in America has a recycling bin. You can find recycling bins anywhere like in your school or at a dumpster nearby and I’m sure there are plenty at home. You can almost recycle anything from glass, to Styrofoam, and especially plastic. There are many things around your house that are probably made of plastic, if you’re

Drowning In Plastic Mary-Rose Stewart Earth Science Mrs. Beshears 12 December 2014 In 2012, Americans generated about 251 million tons of trash and recycled and composted almost 87 million tons of this material (“Municipal Solid Waste”). There are many ways to end our environmental crisis, such as reducing our amount of trash, recycling items, and reusing other items. In Sweden, less than 1% of their trash ends up in landfills. 50% of their trash is incinerated, causing steam that
