~conclusion~

Greetings to all of you..trough this entries, we would like to conclude our entries that based on the topic we had chose. Environmental issue is very familiar but never stop as the environment is very critical right now..At the first entries, we had shown the effect of environmental issues that will bring out disaster to human being if the development is not handle in good care..

The next entries then shown about our own experience regarding the surrounding...Based on our experience, we are able to share and may be this will help others to know something and hopefully it will give consciousness in ourselves regarding the issues...

during the blog also, we had post a few things that can give that maybe we can involve in certain activities link to environmental and all of us might be one of environmentalist...

how to overcome air pollution?

nowadays, many disease had been recognized just because of air pollution..the increasing number of vehicles and factories had bring out the issues.. there were a few things that can be done in order to reduce the pollution...
1) use public transport to minimize the usage of vehicle on roads.
2) if using individual transport, share the vehicle if the place is same.
3) prevent the open burning, buried the scrap..
4) use low volatile organic compound (VOC) ..eg:paint

how to treat water?

hi guys! last entries from our blog were all about pollutions..Starting from this entries we would like to share about the technologies used in order to treat the pollutions..Water, the pollution that very critical as water is source of healthy life...these days people care about healthy life and a few technologies had been updated in order to fulfill the demanding of life..


Singapore is a country with lack of water supply..in order to reuse back the water, the country had developed newater technology which is the waste water especially from housing area is treated back and then discharge back to the river..the technology is quite expensive and produce high quality of water...

In order to minimize the usage of water, a few country had been cut down the consumption of water supply such as a few countryside in US had been regulate that owner of the car can only wash their car every three months and the data were recorded.. From a few examples shown, it showed that the source of clean water supply is very critical and human are responsible to fix the condition back to the normal

watch this!!

Everyone should watch this documentary that done by former US president, Al-Gore to educate citizens about global warming by his own ways that showed in slides about the issue. This documentary will show about the cause and adverse effects on global warming.



Throughout the documentary, Gore describe about the scientific opinion and the effect of the global warming. He also briefly describe the increasing of carbon dioxide based on past 650 000 years.. The movie itself will remind us that an earth is no longer like before as human extreme activities always done without care and concern to the future.




"Each one of us is a cause of global warming, but each one of us can make choices to change that with the things we buy, the electricity we use, the cars we drive; we can make choices to bring our individual carbon emissions to zero. The solutions are in our hands, we just have to have the determination to make it happen. We have everything that we need to reduce carbon emissions, everything but political will. But in America, the will to act is a renewable resource." - Al-Gore

~Noise pollution..~

Noise pollution is noise polluting the environment generates by human being and very subjective to discuss...For example, loud music or concert might be accepted as sound for certain people that love it but it can be noise if the people feels irritates about it..Noise pollution not very discuss in community but very important in industry especially in safety and health department...



There are few effects of noise pollution:

1) Annoyance
2) Sleep disturbance
3) Hypertension
4) Heart Disease
5) Chronic exposure to the children ( concentration difficulties, poorer speech discrimination and also effect the memory and reading ability)
6) Hearing loss



As a conclusion, noise pollution bring a lot of effect especially to human mentally and it is important to avoid exposed to noise and people should remember that not all that activities that we do generates sound to us but may be noise to others..

Hazardous Waste

What is Hazardous waste??
A hazardous waste is waste that poses substantial or potential threats to public health or the environment.

>>ignitable (i.e., flammable)
>>reactive
>>corrosive
>>toxic


Ignitable
Ignitable wastes can create fires under certain conditions, are spontaneously combustible, or have a flash point less than 60 °C (140 °F). Examples include waste oils and used solvents.

Corrosive
Corrosive wastes are acids or bases (pH less than or equal to 2, or greater than or equal to 12.5) that are capable of corroding metal containers, such as storage tanks, drums, and barrels. Battery acid is an example.

Reactivity
Reactive wastes are unstable under "normal" conditions. They can cause explosions, toxic fumes, gases, or vapors when heated, compressed, or mixed with water. Examples include lithium-sulfur batteries and explosives.

Toxicity
Toxic wastes are those containing concentrations of certain substances in excess of regulatory thresholds which are expected to cause injury or illness to human health or the environment.

sOiL pOllutiOn...

Soil pollution comprises the pollution of soils with materials, mostly chemicals, that are out of place or are present at concentrations higher than normal which may have adverse effects on humans or other organisms.

It is difficult to define soil pollution exactly because different opinions exist on how to characterize a pollutant; while some consider the use of pesticides acceptable if their effect does not exceed the intended result, others do not consider any use of pesticides or even chemical fertilizers acceptable.

However, soil pollution is also caused by means other than the direct addition of xenobiotic (man-made) chemicals such as agricultural runoff waters, industrial waste materials, acidic precipitates, and radioactive fallout.

The factors that how soil can be polluted.



The others example of soil pollution that totally effected to human and also nature..



Not only humans, animals also got effect caused of the soil pollution.





Open our eyes and see how serious of soil pollution to our life...Ask ourselfs do we want live in environment like that??? Started from now loved our nature as we love ourselves!!!
