Case Study: Emirates Airline English Language Proficiency Prevents Air Disasters Emirates Airlines Certifies Crews with Test that Simulates Radiotelephonic Communication In 1996, 349 passengers and crew were killed when two planes collided mid-air over New Dehli. This accident was attributed in part to language barriers that retarded radiotelephony communication between the flight and ground crew. According to aviation experts Jason Park and Tyler Kong, “…the lack of ability for all parties involved

over time, accumulates to potentially millions of tons of coal ash that contains some of the world’s deadliest toxic metals: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and selenium. These contaminants can pollute, groundwater, drinking water and the air. All of these contaminants can be toxic and have the potential to injure all major organ systems, damage physical health and development, and endanger wildlife. As a result of the Dan River spill, about 300,000 people were unable to use their water

Urban air pollution has been growing since the Industrial Revolution largely as a result of rapid industrialization, burgeoning cities, and greater dependence on fossil fuels which have brought in their trail increased production of harmful pollutants, making life in many cities increasingly unpleasant and unhealthy. Among the most common and most virulent of air pollutants are sulphur dioxide, suspended particular matter (SPM), nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and lead. There is also evidence

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p–n junction diode, which emits light when activated.[4]When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less
