it for something else. The top part is tightly screwed on with Windex filled to ¾
of the original volume. I cannot find any expiration date, nor can I find any
hint there ever was one. I should contact the product vender to see if the

Acid Rain
Number of words: 1515 - Number of pages: 6.... It is hard to determine where acid rain
may fall next, because the wind from a pollueted area could carry pollution to

acid rain is in the western United States most of Washington all of Oregon,
sectons of California and most of Idaho. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and a

Nickel Metal Hydrive Battery For Electric Vehicals
Number of words: 610 - Number of pages: 3.... in the negative electrode to form MH. On the other hand, the hydroxyl ion ( from water) reacts with Ni(OH)2 at the positive electrode to form NiOOH. Ni now change from +2 to +3.
Ni(OH)2 +OH = NiOOH + H2O + e
From equation (1) and (2) there is no net change in electrolyte quantity or concentration over the charge and discharge cycle. We can see that it is different from other alkaline electrode such as NiCd which water is produced at both electrode during charge and used up during discharge. In the NiMH battery, the constant average concentration can reduce the corrosion and swelling. .....

it has less foliage, yellow spots and produces many cones (Baines, 22). Secondly, acid rain
damages the trees through the soil by releasing metals that harm them even further (Lucas, 72).
Acid rain makes the trees lose their leaves, so when the trees try to regrow their leaves, buds
come instead, this process is called a panic shoot (M. 15). Large land areas which used to be
covered with forests are now gone, dead or dying (Baines, 21). Around the 1980’s more than half
Kotto 2
of the trees in Germany had signs of acid rain damag .....

Preserve The Forests
Number of words: 529 - Number of pages: 2.... mankind a favor and try to preserve what is
left. If the old growth forests are gone, then they can never return because it
takes over five generations to produce one and at the rate that the human
population is increasing, there is not enough land to have a secure place for a
new forest.
If we realize that it is best for the human race to stop destroying the
natural resources, then we must destroy, too, the existence of loggers all
together. To do so, there must not be any new loggers, so all training
potential loggers must be stopped. The current loggers must be diverted to
another oc .....

Biological And Physical Process Of Aging
Number of words: 645 - Number of pages: 3.... or the “powerhouse of the cell” begins to break down, thereby decreasing the amount of energy that is being supplied to the cell.
This cellular degeneration may be set into action by highly reactive chemicals known as free radicals. These molecules have an unpaired electron in the outermost valence shell. This causes the molecule to grab electrons from other molecules, setting into motion a chain reaction that destabilizes them, and causes death of the cell. These free radicals are the normal by-product of metabolism, and can also form due to exposure to radiation or toxic ch .....

Drinking Water Contamination
Number of words: 4200 - Number of pages: 16.... believe that for every outbreak reported in the United States, another ten may be occurring.[3] One such study found that as many as one in three gastrointestinal illnesses — often chalked up to "stomach flu" — are caused by drinking water contaminated with microorganisms.[4]
Such microbial-related outbreaks say nothing about the many other hazards borne by our nation's water supply. Researchers have shown that millions of Americans regularly drink tap water that is contaminated with toxic and cancer-causing chemicals such as lead, trihalomethanes (THMs), arsenic, radioactive materi .....
