Fish from American Waters are Contaminated with Mercury
Americans, attention!!! It is not a joke! All information in this post are real! Recently, American Geological Services announced, after several studies, that all freshwater-fish from United States, contain a neurotoxic substance…mercury!!!Some studies made by US Geological Survey shows that 292 rivers and lakes in United States are full of fish contaminated with mercury.
Air Pollution Could Decrease Newly Born Childrens IQ
Pollution of air, water, soil and many other natural elements, have as side effects destruction of plant and animal habitats,leading to the disappearance of plant and animal populations and also can affect human organism. Air pollution can affect respiratory system, water pollution and soil can affect digestion and other similar processes. Recently, a study made by researchers from NIEHS (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences) shows that human IQ can be also affected by athmospheric pollution(eg, mothers exposed to any kind of pollution could born children with a low IQ).
The Coca-Cola Company to get more environmental-friendly
As a consequence of being the world’s largest beverage company, Coca-Cola also holds the record for world’s biggest PET plastic bottles producer. It is known that this polyethylene terephthalate or PET plastic bottles are non-renewable. Less known is that Antimony triacetate is being used in the production of PET plastic which remains in the material and can, in principle migrate out into food and drinks. Although antimony trioxide is of low toxicity, its presence is still of concern to the health.
2009 Urban Environmental Problems
Environment is one of the three pillars of sustainable development.Human activity has accumulated problems that have left increased pollutants in the atmosphere, vast areas of land resources degraded, depleted and degraded forests, biodiversity under threat, increasingly inadequate freshwater resources of deteriorating quality and seriously depleted marine resources.

Solar Powered Nano Sensors-Pollution Detector System
Pollution is a process that is present today in many places on earth.People have tried and still trying to reduce as much as possible this pollution process and the effects of this global phenomenon.But how people will know where they have to intervene most? Until now this thing was done statistically or with many previous studies and analysis.
Recently Queensland University of Technology has been awarded a $ 1.3 million for the invention of a solar powered nano sensors system, able to detect and monitor environmental pollution.The main advantage of this system is represented by a lower energy consumption,perfectly adjusted for high performances.Another similar system is named GIS(Geographic Information System).”GIS use geographical coordinates of various locations on the planet, store them in special tables in order to be analyzed.This program is very useful in many fields: transportation, real estate, planning, public safety, ecology, environmental protection, environmental events.” – http://www.mygreentreasure.com/2009/04/gis-environmental-monitoring-system/
Solar powered nano-sensors: “The sensors are contained in self-contained boxes which could be placed where needed. The devices are tiny carbon tubes with a diameter of a few millionths of a millimeter, which will be covered with hair-like sensing modules. This unique structure increases the sensitivity of the detector, since it increases the exposed surface area. The energy-efficient sensors will be powered by a new kind of solar cell developed in Australia by Dyesol that would transmit data to monitoring stations using radio or a UMTS system.” – www.ecofriend.org
Anti Desertification SeedBomb Designed by Hwang Jin Wook
We all know that deforestation is one of the reasons that cause air pollution and impicitly,global warming.At the end of last century one of the major mistakes that people have done was to cut a large area of forest from the earth surface.Because social and economic reasons, justified or unjustified, forests have disappeared.This thing has resulted in an urgent need of afforestation.What you can see in the picture below is not a bomb attack … is a new method to plant saplings in deforested areas.Electromagnetic People Killer.Mobile Phone.
The mobile phones, called also cellular phones, are an integrating part of modern telecommunications, which offer the possibility of maintaining the continual communication without affecting the movement liberty.In many countries, more than half of the population uses mobile phones and the market develops fast.The prognosis shows that in 2009 will be, in the entire world, 1,9 bilion of surscribers of the mobile telephony services.Because of this reason it was necessary the installation of an increased number of basis station.The basis stations are radio antennas of low power that communicate with the users apparatus.At the beginning of 2000, they were about 2000 basis stations functioning in Great Britain and about 82.000 locations destined to the cellular telephony in the United States, each location including one or more basis stations.
On the pollution effects due to the mobile telephones were made numerous studies, the results of recent studies regarding the effects of the exposure to the electromagnetic fields of radio frequency (RF) on human beings are supplied by the World Health Organization, the Royal Society of Canada and by a committee of experts in Great Britain.
The RF fields get in the tissues exposed to depths that depend on frequency – until 1 cm at the frequencies used by mobile phones.The RF energy is absorbed in the body and produces tissues heating which is dispersed normally through the thermo adjustment mechanism of the body.All the proved effects of the exposure to RF are clearly connected to the heating.While the RF energy can interact with alive tissues at low levels to produce a significant heating, none of the studies did not put into evidence the unwanted effects on health at exposure levels under the authorized limits through international directives.
More studies on animals exposed to the RF fields similar to these emitted by the mobile phones have not found any proof that RF produce or favor brain tumors.While a study made in 1997 revealed the increase of the rate at which the lymphomas were developed at the mice genetically modified, the implications of this result on health are still ambiguous.Nowadays there are running more studies to confirm this observation and to determine any revelance to human cancer.Three epidemologic recent studies have not found any convincing proof of the increase of cancer risk or any other disease along with the use of the mobile phones.
GIS Environmental Monitoring System
GIS (Geographic Information System) represents a new method of environmental monitoring.This system is a combination of hardware and software that can store and analyze any environment data.Also, this system allows the management of environmental data according to their location on earth.GIS can store data according to their geographical location, and has many methods of management that may help solve environmental worldwide problems.
GIS use geographical coordinates of various locations on the planet, store them in special tables in order to be analyzed.This program is very useful in many fields: transportation, real estate, planning, public safety, ecology, environmental protection, environmental events.
GIS also has in its structure a series of intelligent maps,presenting geographical areas with all characteristics for a specified time period.
The Environment can Defend by Itself from Pollution
Air Car VS Car That Runs With Water
The first car that used compressed air to make the pistons move was named “Air Car” and was released 2 years ago, by a builder of India.This car powered by compressed air, was not producing CO2 emissions.But to produce the compressed air was needed fossil fuels combustion(which means that there is still a small loss).Anyway,CO2 emissions were lower than a diesel engine.
Then appears something that in my opinion is even more avantageous.The car that runs with water.This thing was possible by separating the elements of water (H20) in gas HHO.Watch the movie below to understand how it works:
Now,what do you think?Which is most convenient car for you?The “Air Car” or the “Water Car“?

The Earth Day is Celebrated in 170 Countries
Tomorrow will be celebrated “The Earth Day” in 170 countries by people who will support this holiday by many ecological actions.This holiday dates from 1970 after the legislative actions of Gaylord Nelson.He showed dissatisfaction about political class which have paid too little attention on projects related to environment protection.After 20 years from these events this holiday was known in 140 countries.The purpose of this holidays is to remember that protecting natural resources, the biosphere and people health is one of the priorities of the development and maintenance in a good state of our planet.Pollution Should be Reduced by 70% to Avoid Natural Disasters
Same thing can happen with glaciers from Arctic Ocean.If the global warming continues we should stop or reduce as most possible this procces because glaciers is good to remain freeze.Global temperature increased by 1.5 degrees in recent years, the ocean grows continuously and these things are not good.Also greenhouse gases have exceeded the normal amount in the atmosphere, reaching now from 289 to 380 ppm. The researchers estimated that if we continue in this way the greenhouse gas levels could reach 750 ppm in 2100.Irk River Has Turned Into a Foam-River
Behind the funny-looking image we have to deal with another case of environmental pollution. From incidents that happened until now, we knot that many processes of environmental pollution are caused by human mistakes. Same thing happened in Britain, where, some days ago,near to Manchester a river has turned into a foam-river. This foam apparently comes from a nearby soap factory, but nobody knows exactly how the substance reached in the water. This substance is a toxic one and it seems to affect fauna in the Irk river ecosystem. Authorities can not tell how serious the situation is because of this big foam, but as soon as foam disappears thay could start a detailed analysis. Peoples say that the substance caused this incident is a bleach. However, events like this happen more often and this is not a good thing because pollution leads to a toxic environment, and this place is the place where we live.
