The blood analysis of a typical environmental consultant that carries out fieldwork might contain an array of persistent organic pollutant constituents (usually and hopefully at very low levels). Can you Identify one or more that would result from exposures in New Jersey circumstances and describe the environmental health implications of same.

Imagine that you work at the medical examiner’s office for a major metropolitan city. As Chief Medical Officer, you investigate suspicious deaths and provide toxicology services for the county. Unfortunately, it’s been a busy week. In the past five days, seven people have died, all with similar symptoms. It is your job to examine the data and determine the cause of death for these victims.The first was a 12-year-old girl. Her parents said that she was awake in the middle of the night complaining of a stuffy nose and sore throat. They gave her an extra strength Tylenol and sent her back to bed. At 7am the next morning,the parents discovered that the girl had collapsed on the bathroom floor. An ambulance rushed the girl to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.That same day, paramedics found the second victim unconscious on his kitchen floor after what they thought was an apparent heart attack. Sadly, the victim’s brother and fiancée also collapsed later that night while the…
Air Pollution is a common contributor to health issues that is typically more abundant in urban environments. In this week's lab exercise you will examine levels of air pollution in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. The measurable levels of different pollutants indicate an overall air quality index (AQI). Anthropogenic sources of pollution (Carbon monoxide, Ozone) are a major contributor to higher AQI values but particulate matter (PM-10) is also important in determining an AQI score. Choose all listed sources that would contribute to increased particulate matter (PM-10) levels. and EXPLAIN WHY YOU CHOOSE IT. DEFEND YOUR ANSWER choices: a. Water vapor from Tempe town Lake and local water parks b.Bovine flatulence from Shamrock Farms c.Dust from empty construction lots or a recent HABOOB! d. Pollen from Brenton's ridiculously diverse garden e. Helium expended from the NMR machine in Tempe
Formulate a compost mixture of at consisting of least three ingredients using the Cornell Composting Spreadsheet that will satisfy the range of percent moisture content from 50-60% and the range of C:N ratio from 25 to 35. A composting bioreactor has a total capacity of 500 kg. The total weight of the mixture ranges from 400-500 kg. Example: Ingredient % Moisture % Carbon % Nitrogen Mass (Ibs.)

D, Inc., uses three departments to produce a detergent. The Finishing Department is the third and last step before the product is transferred to storage. All materials needed to give the detergent its final composition are added at the beginning of the process in the Finishing Department. The company uses FIFO costing. The following data for the Finishing Department for October have been made available: Production data: In process, October 1 (labor and factory overhead, 75% complete) 10,000 litres Transferred in from preceding department 40,000 litres Finished and transferred to storage 35,000 litres In process, October 31 (labor and factory overhead, 50% complete)15,000 litres Additional data: Work-in-process inventory, October 1: Cost from preceding department $38,000Cost from this department: 21,500 Materials 39,000 Labor 42,000 Factory overhead $140,500 Transferred in during October $140,500Cost added in this department: Materials $70,000Labor 162,500Factory…
What is an advantage of deep-well disposal of liquid hazardous wastes? Liquid wastes are safer than solid wastes. Well casings never leak. Waste production is discouraged. Carbon dioxide and other air pollutants are not emitted. Wastes can often be retrieved.
