...The following is a summary of the video “Gilbane Gold,” which is a fictional case study in ethics. The video is presented by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE). Z-Corp is an electronics manufacturing company in the heart of a farming town known as Gilbane. Several years previous, Gilbane had attracted Z-Corp to town by offering significant tax breaks, knowing that Z corporation would provide many jobs and boost the local economy. At the time, Z-Corp informed Gilbane that part of its manufacturing process involved the use of the heavy metals lead and arsenic, and that it would be discharging a certain amount of these into the sewer system. Gilbane was concerned about this discharge, because the town processes sewer sludge into a very profitable fertilizer product known as Gilbane Gold. The town council decided that a small amount of lead and arsenic would be tolerable, but to be safe, they put severe limits on the concentration of metals that Z-Corp would be allowed to discharge. The limits that the town council set were ten times smaller than those allowed by federal law, but Z-Corp agreed to abide by them. David Jackson is an environmental engineer at Z-Corp. He suspects that for the last few months, the company has been discharging more lead and arsenic than the law allows. The city is testing the waste water, but Jackson knows that their test is not very sensitive, and therefore they are probably not aware of the potential violation. Apparently...

...changes have aroused within younger generation. In today’s society, everything relies on technology and electronics, that it has now become a necessity rather than a recreational leisure item. With electronic devices or products, we only see the physical part of electronics but there are many chemicals, substances, and numerous parts within a simple device that are severely dangerous if consumed by any living organism. Many of the toxic substances that get released were improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of can be derived from the wiring, circuit boards, smaller electronic parts such as chips, monitors, and so forth. In addition, many of these electronic parts release severely dangerous chemicals such as; lead, mercury, zinc, silver, chromium, etc. There are many factors in which hazardous waste can affect us such as the following: - A large amount being released at once - Toxicity - Level of exposure/contact - Who particularly is exposed - Concentration/dose of exposure - How exposure is initiated - Time period of exposure For humans as well as animals and plants, there can be exposure through; inhalation, ingestion, or dermal exposure. Inhalation can be breathing dangerous chemicals in the form of vapors, or even from the contaminated water while drinking water from the tap or even as simple as showering.

... Name: Khalid Unit 51: Electrical Technology Assignment 2 Teacher: Abdul khares P5, p6, p7 P5 Properties and typical application of a solid electrical conductor Copper Introduction: There are many good solid electrical conductors. Namely one main good solid electrical conductor is copper. As a technician (referring to the scenario given) I advise the use of copper as a solid electrical conductor and the reason will be explained below. Copper comes with many important properties conductivity, tensile strength and resistivity. The Cu represents copper in the periodic table and the atomic number which copper has Is 29. Applications of copper Applications of copper: nowadays copper is heavily used in pipes this is because copper is ductile meaning you can shape it however you want and it won’t snap easily. Also copper is used in generating electricity in places such as power stations as it is a good electrical conductor. Copper is also used in other things like building construction, consumer and general products etc. Properties of copper: Resistivity:’ Resistivity is the resistance across two opposite faces of a cubic metre of material’. What resistivity tells you is how resistive a material is. The symbol that is used to represent resistivity is p and the units that are in ohm meters. Copper has a very low resistivity the value of the resistivity of is. It is slightly this is because there is nothing next to copper in the resistance of...

...The safety of amalgam (silver) fillings has been the subject of heated debate for many years in the field of Dental Science. (6) In the 1830’s, the safety of these fillings was called into question, again in the 1920’s, more recently the 1970’s, and the debate rages today. As a former dental assistant, I chose to have my amalgam fillings removed. This decision was fueled not only by esthetic reasons, but also by articles I read concerning the adverse health effects of mercury in amalgam fillings. An amalgam filling, consists of approximately 50% mercury and is combined with silver, copper, tin and zinc, to form a strong metal substance placed into a prepared tooth that has had a cavity.
