...water was murky grey and appeared to contain everything from household garbage to industrial sediment and waste. And it’s really no surprise, since environmental regulations do little to prevent the dumping of waste into water bodies by factories and farms, including everything from petroleum to ammonia nitrogen to mercury. Since China has only one-fifth the water supply per capita as the U.S., conservation and stricter regulation is essential in order to preserve a sustainable water supply...
Still on the cutting edge of chemistry research, Schrock reduced nitrogen gas to ammonia in his lab four years ago, the first time such a reaction has been carried out artificially...
...extra dollars would cause a significant change; HUDS’s egg demand makes it responsible for its supplier, Kreider Eggs, using an entire football-length row of cages stacked four high. The environmental costs are immense: the sheer density of birds at such operations produces large quantities of ammonia that pollute the surrounding air and water. Environmental organizations from the Sierra Club to the National Environmental Trust have condemned battery cage farming...
...modern world, science is everywhere. Whether it’s understanding a doctor’s prognosis, navigating the politics of global warming, or even just understanding that mixing bleach and ammonia is not a good idea, to be educated today means to be scientifically literate. It is embarrassing that this can’t be said of every Harvard College graduate. The basic problem plaguing the current Core Curriculum’s science program is a lack of rigor. Students can easily make their way through their 32 courses at Harvard without ever really encountering the scientific method...
...where were the ingredients? There were scary words on the labels--WARNING and DANGER! KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN--and some nasty things I recognized (bleach, ammonia, the generic word disinfectant). With cereal boxes detailing everything from trans fats to soluble fiber, I thought there would be exhaustive lists of everything in those bottles and sprays. But there weren't. If I didn't rinse the bathtub thoroughly, what kind of residue would my daughter's bottom be resting...
