Environmental effects of copper Copper can be released into the environment by both natural sources and human actions. Examples of natural sources are wind-blown dust‚ decaying vegetation‚ forest fires and sea spray. Other examples are mining‚ metal production‚ wood production and phosphate fertilizer production. Because copper is released both naturally and through human activity it is very widespread in the environment. Copper is often found near mines‚ industrial settings‚ landfills and waste

What is APSA-80? APSA-80‚ a product of Amway is an all purpose spray adjuvant which on mixing with insecticides‚ fungicides‚ herbicides and defoliators increases their efficacy. As a result of that‚ the crops‚ fruits and vegetable are better protected from diseases‚ pests and unwanted herbs‚ resulting in more productive yield. This adjuvant has 80% of active ingredients and this can be mixed in any solution to improve its performance many times Note : APSA-80 is neither an insecticide nor a fertiliser

Thermal Runaway Reactions Plan Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ my hypothesis is that‚ the more concentrated acid there is‚ the bigger the temperature change in the experiment. This is because there are more acid particles to collide & react with each other. Equipment: * Beaker (100cm3) * Assorted measuring cylinders * Stopwatch * Thermometer * 0.1g of magnesium powder * 10cm3 of sulphuric acid Method: First‚ I will measure the correct amount of magnesium I need‚

Introduction: Acid rain has proven to be a big problem for Connecticut. It has had a great impact on builders‚ wildlife‚ and the water sources. Acid rain has many components in it such as pollutants from plants to sulfuric acid from burning coal. Problem: Which stone is the most resistant against acid rain? Hypothesis: If we test the different stones against acid rain then red sand stone would be the best because it is heavier and cannot be easily broken. Independent variable: Type of stones

Among the most harmful and dangerous non-metal compunds are nitrogen oxides‚ sulphur dioxide‚ carbon dioxide‚ carbon monoxide‚ and hydrogen sulphide. These can cause devastating effects to human beings‚ plants‚ animals and the environment. Matals are generaly less harmful‚ although lead is extremely toxic. Hydrogen sulphide is a highly toxic gas. It has a very bad smell‚ often identified in rotten eggs and stink bombs. Hydrogen sulphide interferes with cellular respiration. If inhaled‚ Hydrogen
