ABSTRACT

The research argues that although a gas flaring stoppage is not successfully in-place in Nigeria, fitting the appropriate technology with complementary economic and institutional factors can lead to near-zero or zero gas flaring. Nigeria is a developing country with a unique culture of many tribes and one of the largest growing urban populations in the world. Infrastructural, political and economical challenges to meeting the goal are introduced. Reinjection of gas back into wells is not available as an option to gas flaring because a large region for gas production is wetlands (Buzcu-Guven et al. 2012). Wetlands …

Introduction.

Marijuana is amongst the most used drugs in the globe and has always been criticized with its effects to human health. The benefits of Marijuana have for a long time been ignored until recently when doctors and health professionals advocated for its use in maintenance of health, in human bodies. Marijuana is a contributor to economic growth as in some economies it is considered as a cash crop. Scientifically, Marijuana is safer than alcohol intake in consideration of its toxicity. Scientists argue that intake of marijuana is not as addictive as that of alcohol or tobacco; hence it has fewer consequences than …

Red meat, fatty foods, high-cholesterol, high-salt, high-sugar, and too many calories – these are some of the characteristics of a Western diet (Wollston, 2015). It is a fact that this kind of diet is harmful to one’s health. According to the data from the Multiple Cause of Death Files, 1999-2013, around 610, 000 people die annually because of heart disease (as cited in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). In addition, around 78.6 million adults in the U.S. are classified as obese. This means that 78.6 million are at risk of deadly …

The impact of the environment on human health is quite significant. Many diseases are caused by air pollution, polluted drinking water, and consumption of chemically processed food. Health depends on lifestyle with 50%, 20% from the environment and technology development, 20% bad heredity and only 10% of it depends on the level of health care (Landon 2013).
Nowadays, an enormous amount of pollutants is released into the environment from industrial sources, whether pipe, that pour wastes into rivers or huge production waste landfills. Industrial toxic emissions into the atmosphere so rain and dust return to the surface and …

Possible Control Measures on the Harmful Effects of Genetically Modified Foods

Despite the fact that genetically modified foods have demonstrated that they have less risks unlike what the media has continually reported, there is the need to ensure that the loose ends are considered and actions taken towards them. Under this, the hazards to the environment and to human health should be paid attention to. It is equally important to gather all details on genetically engineered foods to ensure that any happening or outcome relating to the same is predictable; the probability of it happening without the awareness of the Scientists would be tragic.

For further control actions, environmental …

The literature available explaining how manufactured food is harmful to human health is enormous. Many studies have been conducted showing how people are afraid of the manufactured foods. In her article titled, “Our Unsafe Food Supply is Killing Us,” Melanie Warner applauds Congress and the president for passing and signing legislation aimed at preventing the spread of foodborne diseases and deaths. She states that over 310,000 Americans are dying annually due to food related illnesses. These damning figures reveal the immense challenge posed by manufactured foods including steroids, antibiotics, food additives, and others. From such data …

Introduction

The debate on the safety of Genetically Modified (GM) foods has raged on for close to two decades now. On one hand of the controversy are people who argue that GM foods are safe and suitable in ensuring that the increasing world population gets adequate food in the face of deteriorating climate and unfavorable production factors. On the other hand, there are a significant number of people who allege that GM foods have negative long-term effect on human beings. Those opposed to GMOs have cited failure by researchers to prove safety and attributed the increment in chronic diseases to the …

1.0 Introduction

When the concept of green building emerges, environmentalists and researchers automatically assume the solutions lie on materials and their constituencies in buildings they are part of and the lifetime of the building. Exterior material directly in contact with the environment and natural elements may enhance the sustainability of the building, but may greatly impact the functions of nearby ecosystems. Hence building sustainability and environmental maintenance are not exactly interchangeable, and yet these terms are often utilized mistakenly. The pioneers of environmental constructs are not confirmed, although architectural historians suggest they date back prior to Ancient Roman times. Architects took …

Using the science and knowledge of physics in order to advance human health has a long provenance.

Environmental ethics is a discipline that studied the concepts of moral relationships between human beings and the environment (Keller, 2010). It is a philosophical disciple that involves a study of moral relationships, values and status of environment, and its non-human contents. In the recent past, the literature behind environmental studies, the distinction between intrinsic and instrumental values has gained significant importance. This is as a result of massive human activities, which pose adverse effects to the environment (Carnegie and Griffith University, 1996).

Instrumental values, in environmental ethics, can be explained as the valuation of things or activities, which form means to further some …

Smoking is a disgusting habit, which affects the health and wealth. For decades, governments have been trying to find ways to eradicate smoking. The hot debates on whether governments have the right to ban smoking cigarettes in public places or not still continue. Some people argue that everyone should make own choice whether to smoke or not. Personally, I think the government should be responsible for citizens’ health care and outlaw smoking in public places. The most important reason for imposing restrictions is to prevent harm to human health, avoid discomfort among non-smokers and protect environment.
It is a well-known …

Vaporizing our futures

Researchers and health experts have proved again and again that tobacco, in any form, is extremely injurious for human health. However such findings and warnings have not deterred the smokers from smoking and there is no effect of such findings on the sales or use of cigarettes. The apathy of tobacco users is a major concern for policymakers and health experts. What is the reason for the ubiquity of cigarettes even though people know it is bad for their health? Mainly, people say that curiosity is the essential element in this problem. In our twenty first century, tobacco companies took a …

The study of meteorological materials in all regions of the globe, prove that the climate is not constant, but is a subject to some certain changes. Beginning in the late XIX century, warming particularly intensified in 1920-30., but then a slow cooling started, which ended in 1960. Geologists’ studies of the earth’s crust of sediments have shown that in the past era there was much greater climate change. These changes happened due to natural processes, that is why they are called natural (Martelle, 2013).

The Biological Basis

The term Genetic Modification (GM) refers to the techniques by which the genetic composition of a plant is manipulated by adding specific genes to it. Every plant contains genes, which are DNA sequences containing information that determine its specific characteristics or traits. The genes are “inheritance units” that provide instructions for the development and functionality of the plant’s next generation. Crop plants modified through this process are called GM or genetically engineered crops, or transgenic crops (“Process of Developing Genetically Modified (GM) Crops.”, n.d.). The principal steps in the process are:
— The wanted gene is isolated; e.g. …

Introduction

Modifying the genetic make-up of food is a concept which has been around for centuries. Farmers have successfully improved food supply through cross-breeding different plant and animal varieties to develop organisms that yield more, taste better and tolerate harsh conditions. In modern times, this has not always been welcome. The Pure Food Campaign (PFC) was established in 1992 as a coalition of restaurateurs, farmers, animal welfare, environmental and consumer groups opposed to genetic engineered food. Around the same time, the U.S. Agriculture Department stated that it would not regulate production and shipping of Flavr Savr, which is a genetically engineered tomato from …

Abstract

Ozone layer depletion is a phenomenon in which ozone layer in the stratosphere thins out making it possible for the direct penetration of UV rays into the Earth’s surface. This can lead to an array of harmful effects on human health, plants, and animals and can even trigger climate change. Chlorofluorocarbons are recognized as the primary cause accounting for 80% of ozone depletion. Though a lot of steps have been taken around the world to reduce ozone depletion, it may take about few decades more to completely heal the ozone layer due to the long standing stability of CFCs in the …

Genetic modification, as the name suggests, is a biotechnological process by which the genetic material in an organism such as plants is altered in a manner that does not take place in the nature or via nature-influenced recombination. Such organisms which are called as the Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs find immense practical applications in the modern times. They are used extensively for carrying out medical and biological scientific work, are used to manufacture new pharmaceutical medications and importantly, are used in agriculture to produce good quality crops. The reason why genetic modification has gained prominence in agriculture is because it …

Business people have given full attention to making maximum profit with little regard on the customer welfare. As documented in the documentary film by Kenner, food production lacks quality standards that are necessary for the manufacturing and production of food fit for human consumption (Food Inc., 2010). Kenner shows how the food industry is corrupted with the production of food that harms or can harm human health. This is caused by the obsession of these companies in maximizing profit and yield from their projects. This puts serious questions on the credibility of the foods that are offered in the …

Is it fair to restrict the growth of developing countries because of climate change?

Climatic change is a fundamental problem that is affecting developing nations, as well as developed nations of the world. However, as Nath and Behera pointed that developing nations are likely to be faced with a greater incidence of the outcome of climatic change than developed nations. This is because developed nations have the resources to deal with the outcomes of climatic changes and are already setting up mitigation strategies with respect to it.
The earth has limited carrying capacity and therefore increased population growth is likely to do more harm than good. Restricting the growth of developing nations can be …

Abstract

Solid waste and wastewater are primary sources of pollution from food processing industries. The wastewaters usually contain high suspended solids, organic starch and sugars that may contain toxic substances to the environment. Solid wastes come from organic materials while the mechanical preparation processes need biological treatment before releases into the environment. When untreated, they find their way into other water plants like lakes and streams. Since they have higher nutrient content, they result of eutrophication of the water systems hence causing algal growth. It, therefore, compromises the stability of the aquatic ecosystems as the water quality is changed. It …

Anthropological Perspective on Illness and Healing

Illness and disease have challenged the whole world so profoundly and sickness has apparently become a crucial element governing the shells of the poor. Consequently, medical anthropologists became keener upon taking a closer look, or rather a holistic analysis, of the association that exists amidst the health and wellbeing of the mankind and the culture. The basic intention of taking a holistic approach towards anthropology is the premise that human behavior and human health ascends out of a multifaceted interface happening within the cultural structures. This encompasses the health and wellbeing of the human society at large, among others.

It is an undeniable fact that human beings cannot survive without food as it is one of the basic human needs for maintenance and sustenance of life. Food is, without a question, not only a necessity but a kind of pleasure in peoples’ lives regardless of their origin. In the contemporary times, food has significant symbolic power. It is not only necessary for survival but is also important “because it is no longer a widely (locally) accessible and equally produced resource” (Leda 95). Today, commodity-driven market considers food as an unconditional requirement. Moreover, it is also serving …
