In chapter 6 titled “Carbon Monoxide (CO), Part 1” of The Poisoner’s Handbook by Deborah Blum the most interesting story developed within the chapter was the death of Anna Fredericksen after inhaling carbon monoxide. It was interesting because the way the murder was convicted, it created the impression as if Francesco Trivia had cut her into pieces, making him look like a lunatic killer. As Gettler noted in his inquiry, “In each glass vessel, each ceramic dish, the bloody solutions, instead of turning the darkish grays of normal oxygenated blood, flamed that brilliant red. Her blood was saturated with carboxyhemoglobin.” (Blum 148).

The Owner’s Building The owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, had a historic fire to happen in one of their buildings, which was the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. This fire was one of the worst fires in New York with a total of 146 people that died. The fire started supposedly under a table when someone threw a cigarette butt under the table which then caught on fire. The owners on the other hand were being accused of arson because Blanck and Harris owned other types of buildings that also caught on fire.

Chemical weapons have some “immediate effects of chlorine gas toxicity include acute inflammation of the conjunctiva, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi. Irritation of the airway mucosa leads to local edema secondary to active arterial and capillary hyperemia. Blistering gas is another form of chemical weapon” (OPCW, Sheet 4). It was “first tested in combat in 1917 by Germany and {has} been used in several conflicts since” (OPCW, sheet 4). This Chemical agent is “primarily dispersed in liquid or vapour (aerosol) form and may persist for days” (OPCW, Sheet 4).

Millions and millions of dollars are spent each year improving education. The George W. Bush administration published a Fact Sheet (para. 6, 2002) that found that since 1965, America has spent more than 130 billion dollars trying to improve education. The Congressional Digest (Timeline 2017) lists sixteen initiatives that have been passed since 1965 for federal support K-12. The initiatives passed attempt to correct inconsequential problems or counteract the positive initiatives previously passed. Overall, educational policy and reforms that aim at standardization do not leave room for educators to include diversity into the classroom.
Even though widely used, flamethrowers were still ineffective, being extremely cumbersome (soldiers had to carry both a petroleum tank and a gas-filled tank, both highly flammable and vulnerable to enemy fire) and unable to create a fire that burned for any prolonged period of time. To prolong the lifetime of the fire created, U.S. scientists started developing (in secret) a new kind of flammable weapon during WWII. By mixing petroleum with latex, they managed to create a jelly-like substance, which was the first attempt at creating what would be later known as napalm. Due to the Japanese campaign on Southeast Asia (where most of the latex-producing trees were located) a new way of producing napalm had to be
1. Introduction In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil platform spit nearly five million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, making it the largest oil spill in history. The 1989 oil spill surpassed Exxon Valdez's oil spill in 1989 as the largest oil spill ever seen in US-controlled waters and the Ixtoc I oil spill of 1979 as the largest oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. On April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon, an ultra-deepwater offshore rig, exploded in the Gulf of Mexico about 41 miles off the coast of Louisiana, killing 11 riggers and injuring 17 others.
