Abstract:Oil pollution has been the major environmental effect in oil producing countries particularly where crude oil exploration tales place. In Nigeria, the problem is more pronounced in the Niger-Delta region. Poultry farming is a very lucrative business in Nigeria where both chickens (layers and broilers) are found particularly in the northern part of the country. The eggshells are usually thrown and allowed to liter the environment. A column study was used to test the ability of the eggshell

retreat, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets extreme events, ocean acidification. What do these have in common? Two words: Global Warming. The Earth’s global temperature has change throughout history but never have the Earth’s temperatures have been as high as they are now. After the Industrial revolution, global warming has increasingly becoming a threat. Consequently, global warming is becoming a bigger threat that needs to be addressed before even more serious damage is done. “Scientific evidence

Site One - The Rangipo Desert The Rangipo Desert is approximately 1000m above sea level, East of Mount Tongariro. This fairly high altitude means the desert receives more sunlight than most places, and it is often plagued by strong northwesterly winds sweeping off the surface of the mountain. Funneling through the mountains and becoming very intense throughout the desert, these powerful winds test the durability of the vegetation growing here. These plants therefore must be accustomed to the strong

avoided at all times as they too are a serious reason for stress in fish. Lastly, appropriate pH, alkalinity, and temperature for the species should be maintained so that the environment is perfect for the fish (Rottmann, 2005). Following these water management practices will ensure that stress is reduced along with the chances of recurring diseases and

Someone says that air pollution problem is not that serious in Hong Kong. As the Air Quality Health Index(AQHI) in Hong Kong was normally 1 to 3 out of 10 for the general stations and 2 to 5 out of 10 for the roadside stations according to the Environmental Protection Department. Well, if you just look at the Air Quality Health Index, it seems like air pollution is not that serious. However, we need to consider the concentration of the air pollutant. When it is in high level, it is not safe for

There are numerous impactful reasons the environment is suffering, the 1st I feel comes from human population. The increase in human population adds to the problem being that we use various resources that are considered to be harmful to the environment. As the population increases so does usage as well as demand for more innovative ways that can keep up with these demands. People naturally pollute the environment, there are things in place that help to offset and educate around this however the issue

Air pollution caused by unlawful burning of forests is a yearly issue. The illegal deforestation across Indonesia has covered much of South-East Asia – particularly Singapore, Malaysia, as well as parts of Philippines and Thailand, in an acrid haze, resulting to one of the most severe regional shutdown in years. According to the scientists, the 2015 pollution could surpass the one in 1997 - when it had created an environmental tragedy that cost about US$9 billion in damage. The economic cost
