Spring brings many things. A host of these are very desirable, especially for those of us who have been cooped up in our homes for the past several months. How many of us have feverishly wished for a favorable weather forecast so that we can plant flowers, ride bikes, walk dogs, orchestrate lawns, and listen to chirping birds? Yet, spring also brings us a medley of a different sort-a toxic soup of chemicals. Much of this soup isn't thrust upon us from the outside; disturbingly, we choose to expose

Estimating Bifenthrin Concentration in Surface water in Urban Sacramento. Introduction Pyrethroid insecticides have replaced organophosphates (OP) insecticides, such as, diazinon and chlorpyrifos for structural pest control and landscape maintenance in most urban environments in the United States in recent times. Pyrethroids are manufactured derivatives of pyrethrins, which are natural insecticides that are produced by certain species of chrysanthemum. These insecticides are neurotoxins and focus

SOIL POLLUTION INTRODUCTION Soil is the thin layer of organic and inorganic materials that covers the Earth's rocky surface. The organic portion, which is derived from the decayed remains of plants and animals, is concentrated in the dark uppermost topsoil. The inorganic portion made up of rock fragments, was formed over thousands of years by physical and chemical weathering of bedrock. Productive soils are necessary for agriculture to supply the world with sufficient

Ingredients Matters: From the Farm to the Table Mass production of genetically modified food has led to the deterioration of nutritional substance in the yields of produce and livestock, bringing a negative environmental consequence, impacting the farms ecosystem and the farmers sustainability. An uninformed public suffers the consequences of false advertising and a lack of labeling laws to make healthy decisions when being unaware of the ingredients and preparation of their food. Organic certified

It is said that the horse is the most insufficient domestic animal at breeding and reproducing. This is largely because breeders have manipulated the gestation periods of the mare so that they are out-of-season breeders. The gestation length of a mare is in between 335 and 340 days. This leaves little time in the year to successfully rebreed a mare after foaling. Because of this, there needs to be considerable time taken to effectively care for the pregnant or open mare. Nutrition is an early factor

Introduction and importance – section 1 part 1 Following the global food crisis of 2007-2008 there has been an increasing realization throughout the world that we have to produce additional and higher quality food (Albert Sasson 2012). As was stated in 2006 by the Food and Agricultural organization of the United Nations (FAO) with the world population growing at an annual rate, it is a necessity that global increase in food production must reach 50%, in order to meet the specified requirements of

Everything on earth has a purpose. Like the ocean. The ocean provides more than half of the oxygen in the atmosphere. It is also 97 percent of the Earth’s water. Everything that you wear, eat, and drink happened because of the water provided from the ocean. No matter what it’s hard to live without the ocean. Now what would happen if the ocean was polluted? The seafood that we eat would get infected so we will be eating infected fish, our water would be contaminated and our body can become infected

INTRODUCTION      Pesticides are chemicals designed to kill, control, or repel insects, plant diseases, weeds, rodents, and germs. (Most pesticides are used in agriculture production, to killing pests found on hundreds of different crops including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and cereal grains.) All these foods form a good majority of North America’s diet, and the majority of these foods consumed contain pesticide residues. Pesticides are also used to get rid of unwanted pests
