Hand Sanitizer kills germs within 30 seconds. One key ingredient is ethyl alcohol. One thing about it is it dries out hands. Soap and water dont dry out hands. Hand sanitizer can give you alcohol poisoning.

The other day we learned about natural disasters. Earthquakes are one of the biggest natural disasters. Usually after earthquakes tsunamis happen. Tsunamis is like a big wave that can flood a whole city and can ruin everything. It can drag people out and you can never find them. So if you ever see a tsunami you better run!

What is a Carbon Footprint? A Carbon Footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).

There has been many air quality tradegies through the years that had many deaths and affected a lot of people. There was one in Meuse Valley, Belgium 1930. Coke ovens, steel mills, blast furnaces, zinc smelters, glass factories and sulfuric acid plants produced an estimated SO₂ concentration of 8 ppm. It was estimated that the SO₂ concentration was reached to 22,600 ug/m³. With in a few days, 600 people feell ill and 63 people died from it. In Donora, PA 1948 Effluents from a number of industries such as a sulfuric acid plant, a steel mill, and a zinc production plant became trapped in a shallow valley inversion to produce an unbreathable mixture of fog and pollution.6,000 became ill and there were 20 deaths. In London, England

Air pollution comes from many different sources. Natural processes that affect air quality include volcanoes, which include sulfur, chlorine, and ash. Many forms of pollution are human-made. Industrial plants, power plants and vehicles with internal combustion engines produce nitrogen oxides, VOCs, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and particulates. In cities, cars are the main source pollutant. Other human-made sources include aerosol sprays and leaky refrigerators, as well as fumes from paint, varnish, and other solvents. One thing about air pollution is that it doesnt stay in one place.Winds and weather flow the pollution around locally.

Al Gore was concerned about pollution in the water. He was also concerned about global warming. He wants to clean up lakes and also wants to keep proctecting the Ozone layer.

There is Grarbage in the ocean. There is also an island in the ocean of garbage. One of them is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The reason that they won't clean up the garbage because animals live in it. People do not want to effect the wildlife. The garbage stretches hundreds of miles across the north pacific ocean

There are different types of fuel sources. There are nonrenewable fuels which are oil, natural gas, and uranuim. The second fuel source is renewable. renewable energy is abundant and constantly replenished. Another form of renewable fuel sourse is hydropower and its widely used.Hydrogen is another source of alternative fuel. Hydrogen produces no pollution and vehicles run by hydrogen fuel cells are two to three times more efficient than gasoline powered vehicles.

As everyone knows that the candidates for the 2012 election are Newt Gingrich, Barack Obama, and Rick Santorum. There is a big arguement about the gas prices. Gingrich says that if he gets elected he is going to make gas prices 2 dollars a gallon. Santorum blames Obama for decreasing gas prices beacuse he is afraid of global warming. Obama approoves of the gas prices because there is nothing he can do about it.

 The Exxon Valdez oil spill happened on March 24^th 1989. The Exxon valdez spilled 10.9 million gallons and it was a 53 million gallon tank. It took place by Alaska.  It impacted over 1,100 miles. Shoreline cleanup began in April of 1989 and continued until September of 1989 for the first year of the response. They spent 287 million for actual damage and 5 million  for punitive damage. The captiab got s 50,000 dollar fine and he has to do community service starting this summer.

Crews were building a dome to lower into place over 1 of the 3 leaks to catch escaping oil. BP is trying to get more methods to get oil out of the water. They are trying to keep up with the leakage but people are saying that they aren't keeping up with it.

some chemicals that were tested we silver nitrate iron 3, etc. we just went straight toour samples and we didnt find anything. none of the water was polluted and i was surprised. No i didnt discover any pollutants.

The two types of chromium are discussed are Chromium VI and Chromium III. Chromium III is the good kind and is vital to your body in small amounts.  Chromium VI causes many variety of cancers and diseases.

I have heard of bioluminescence. I'm not really sure what it means. My guess would be to light up in the dark fluorescence light. The organisms I believe that have this property is sea animals that live in the deepest part of the ocean. I think that they use that light to mate, to see, or attract food. What I want to know is why they have these lights and how were they discovered. Also, what else they use their lights for.
