Environmental Protection Reports Samples For Students

There is a growing concern that the search for exponential economic growth brings about the degradation of the environment. According to Carter, the tension between economic growth and environmental protection lies at the heart of environmental politics (Carter 27). Today, the society and especially politicians who are affiliated to environmental issues only recognize the world’s dependence on the resources that the earth provides. These natural elements are such as oxygen and water. However, they fail to notice the connection between land and the economy.

INTRODUCTION

Baghouse filters are fabric filter units consisting of one or more isolated sections containing an array of fabric bags (Vatavuk, 1998). Shapes of these bags range from round, flat, tube-shaped, to pleated cartridges. In theory, gas containing high particulate matter level passes through the fabric bag surface. The particulate matter is retained while the cleaned gas is either recycled to the process or vented off the exhaust. This paper attempts to discuss the different concepts behind baghouse filters in relation to environmental engineering. Specifically, this paper discusses (a) particle pollution, (b) baghouse filter principle, (c) filter media selection, (d) types of ...

Summary
The Autonomous Net-Zero Water Project is a water treatment project that aims to provide a sustainable water supply system. It works by gathering all waste water from a particular facility, then subjecting the water to a series of water treatment processes. After which, the water is directed back to the facility for consumption. This perpetual process of water recycling provides continuous water supply; making it possible for its users to refrain or extremely minimize tapping water from outside sources. Water recycling is not a new thing. However, the greatest challenge in making the water-recycling system sustainable ...

Environmental Hazards and Human Health

The Hartford Courant reported some good news on the Superfund site which is on Main Street, East Hartford, Connecticut.
