“How to Poison the Earth” by Linnea Saukko was written as an assignment for a freshman composition class. This essay details a process that humans could take to ensure the definitive destruction of earth. The writer explains that this process might be difficult, due to the fact that the earth has ways to continuously cleanse itself. The first process suggests that large amounts of lethal substances, such as uranium-238 and plutonium, should be produced and then injected into the earth. We would start by building more nuclear plants to help generate more plutonium.
Dear Jury Members: Mr. Bennett should be found guilty because, Mr. Adam’s cause of death was rat poisoning, and Mr. Bennett was the only person at the party with rat poison on his hands. Next, Mr. Bennett had a motive to kill Mr. Adams and had been poisoned with rat poison.

The first piece of evidence against Mr. Bennett had a motive to kill Mr. Adams because he owed him $250,000 and didn’t have the money to pay him back.
Unit 2 Discussion: Prenatal Development Readings: Chapter 3 and 4 A teratogen is any exposure in the environment such as drugs, illnesses, alcohol that can cause substantial harm to an unborn or breastfeeding baby. There are some teratogens that even if the mother was exposed to or poisoned at one point before getting pregnant can still cause harm to the unborn baby even if she is no longer exposed. Lead can be considered a teratogen as it is a toxic metal and can cause harm during the embryonic period.
NAME: Zain Choudhary DATE: April 17, 2017 455: Response #4: Partnership and Ethical Challenges In the article “What Went Wrong in Flint” by Anna Maria, she talks about a major public health issue, where the tap drinking water was contaminated with high levels of lead all over the city affecting everyone in the area. She tells a story, where families noticed that throughout the months of drinking tap water, they have noticed many negative physical changes to their body. People started to have stomach problems, losing their hair and developing rashes throughout the city.
Residents started to report that they were experiencing rapid hair loss, chronic migraines and blurry vision. (congressional digest) - These are common side effects of lead poisoning that can be fatal if not treated in time. b. A funding plan is under go as we speak to tackle the current crisis at hand. - Republican proposal of $50 million and $500 in
Lab 2 – Water Quality and Contamination Experiment 1: Drinking Water Quality Bottled water is a billion dollar industry in the United States. Still, few people know the health benefits, if any, that come from drinking bottled water as opposed to tap water. This experiment will look at the levels of a variety of different chemical compounds in both tap and bottled water to determine if there are health benefits in drinking bottled water. POST-LAB QUESTIONS 1.
Dr. Patterson began research to see how much lead he found in the environment was natural, and how much was created by people. He sampled snow from ancient ice in Greenland and Antarctica that existed hundreds or thousands of years before lead was dug up. The samples showed that there had been a huge increase in lead in the northern hemisphere when Greeks and Romans used lead for pipes and tools (Claire Patterson is dead page
The Romans used lead for many things, the lead was inexpensive and was used in the piping that brought water to Rome, they had lead utensils and lead-lined pots that they used to boil down wine, lead was also found in makeup and the pigment of paints. Some symptoms of lead poisoning were: anemia, lameness, brain swelling, and pallor. The Romans did realize that the lead could cause health problems and even death, but they believed that as long as they weren 't exposed to high levels there was only a low risk of getting lead poisoning, what they did not understand was that being exposed low-levels of lead daily can still cause some of the symptoms of lead poisoning. The people who were getting exposed to the higher level of lead poisoning, from
Lead can be quite difficult to detect; especially if you don't have the right equipment. But not to worry! We use top-grade equipment to scan for it. If your property is positive for lead, then we'll move forward with removal services. Our removal service involves controlling, working wet, and cleaning up thoroughly.
The article, “Stop talking About Teacher Diversity. Start Tackling the problem”, exemplifies exactly what we should do. As a future educator, the solution to the problem of diversifying the teacher work force starts with us, the educators of tomorrow. I agree with this article because a diverse work force allows higher graduation rates among colored children, higher expectations for our students, and more instructional time opposed to harsh discipline for students in minorities. This issue truly does begin with us, and it will continue until the end of time.
Ryan Hogan OT-525 9-21-15 While taking the health risk assessment I knew right from the start that some of the information would be off. The assessment asked about things such as blood pressure and cholesterol, and I do not know these measures right of the top of my head. While looking at the results, it stated that I am at risk of dying within the next 10 years. When comparing my risk percentages to the average 27 year old male, I did very well and was average compared to the others. However one factor that I scored above average on was the chance of a heart attack.
Animals in Research and Testing According to PETA, the animals who are in research and testing “shake and cower in fear whenever someone walks past their cages and their blood pressure spikes drastically. After enduring lives of pain, loneliness and terror, almost all of them will be killed,” (“Animal Testing 101”). Animal-testing is the use of non-human animals in research and development projects, especially for purposes of determining the safety of substances, such as foods, beauty products, and/or drugs. Although animal research plays a crucial role in experiments focused on disease treatments and preventions, it is cruel, inhumane, and should be stopped. This is an act that should be banned and prohibited in all states and countries
