Traces of Flame Retardant, Now Found In Butter

A chemical called poly brominates biphenyl ether also known as PBDE was found in a stick of butter purchased from a local grocery chain in Dallas. This is the first time that the PBDE contamination was found in butter; the source of the contamination remains a mystery. The Flame Retardants are not edible as it is only used to slow down the smoke in fires and they are certainly not a food component and doesn’t  belong any where near food items. 

Traces of PBDE were found more on the wrapper of the butter and its means that either the wrapper was contaminated before it reached the factory or there was a possibility of the wrapper being contaminated in the factory itself.

All humans have a high percentage of fire retardants in their body and it is all because the environment is loaded with it the negative health effects especially in the growing children. In animals the PBDE’s are associated with liver cancer and neuro-behavioral alterations but their effect on humans still need to be confirmed.

This really motivates us to be careful when we buy our groceries and try out our level best to buy from hygienic stores and eat hygienically so that our overall health doesn’t get affected. These types of incidence have become a common occurrence and so we need to take precautions while eating.

Though you can refer this incident as an isolated one and it certainly is not represented by the product category but further investigation is essential so that these things can be avoided as much as possible and will not end up ruining people’s health. The positive thing is that there are many reliable companies that even recall their product if there seems to be any problem with them. These sure are caring people who are not concerned only in mercenary benefits but also care for people’s health in the real way. 

PDBE’s are found in the environment that is air, water and soil. Though the levels of PBDEs are quite limited in the environment, while research states the main source of exposure of PDBE’s in humans is through indoor and outdoor dust and food items including breast milk. You can minimize the risk of exposure to the PDBE”s in your life by buying household items those are free from PBDE’s.

What is the  world coming to as even our butter seems to contain high levels of a Flame Retardant that is used in electronics according to the environmental scientist from the University Of Texas School Of Public Health.

Inadequate Sanitation leads to Cholera Outbreak in Haiti Relief Camps

At least about 300 people have died in Haiti due to the Cholera outbreak which is a disease that is caused due to drinking contaminated water. The Haitians living in relief camps are also the victims of the Cholera outbreak .These people have yet to recover from the earthquake disaster and they are in serious trouble again with the outbreak. Cholera patients are being treated in hospitals while some are under treatment in camps. The unsanitary conditions and the contaminated water are the result of the Cholera outbreak. This is not the problem faced by people living in relief camps but it has also affected permanent communities too.

The worst is still not over in Haiti even after ten months, nothing could be done to improve the devastation caused by the Haiti earth quake. The flow of patients suffering from Cholera never seems to stop. Its misery and heart burn all the way when you look at the misery filled faces of the Haitians who are looking helpless and have nowhere to go then you sure can read the untold stories that can be seen in their eyes. About 30 to 40 percent children under the age of eighteen are affected with severe diarrhea which is the miserable condition of cholera. There are not even enough hospital beds to treat the patients and many of them are being treated in open air and intravenous drips are attached to trees while the moans and convulsions of the patients really create a depressing feeling.

Cholera is caused by waterborne bacteria which if left untreated can kill patients within a short time. Haiti is a poor country and even before the earthquake access to clean water and sanitary conditions was not possible for many Haitians and after the earth quake the situation has worsened and ruined the infrastructure.
UNICEF along with the UN council are working up so that they can stem the problem of Cholera as soon as they can .Creating awareness among the people is very important as the spread of the disease could be controlled to some extent and health workers are teaching the Haitians the way to wash their hands and maintain hygienic conditions so that they can get rid of contagious disease. This will educate the people to be clean and hygienic and thus help in preventing the infection to spread.

By adopting such positive measures the death rate has slowed down and this sure increases hope that the Haitians will pull through this disaster quickly as possible. The dehydrated condition of the Cholera victims will improve if proper sanitation measures are adopted and people become aware of how to deal with the diseases. Cholera is a disease of poverty ridden areas where sanitary conditions and lack of clean and pure drinking water outbreaks.

Hope is eth motivation factor that keeps the UNICEF and the Government of Haiti working to avert the loss of the Haitians. All defensive counters, measure are being adopted to pull the victims out of the Cholera problem and save their lives giving them a new hope to continue on with their life’s journey.

Mount Merapi Unleashed its Volcanic Ash Killing Innocent Indonesians

Monday morning Mount Merapi unleashed another violent explosion which made the Indonesians run for their lives. The Indonesian authorities had failed to admit to their short comings in handling the Tsunami and a volcano that killed about 500 people in a week. The residents who had returned back to tend to their livestock after lasts weeks disaster went running back to their shelters. The city came to a stand still when the gray plume of ash shot up to the sky enveloping the area in grey cries and wails could be heard everywhere.

Though there has not been a report of casualties uphill now but thousands have fled to the over crowded shelters looking for relief. The head of the volcanic eruption Centre was expecting more eruptions but didn’t know the strength with which they would happen.

The Indonesian authorities are already being accused of inadequately helping the Tsunami victims in which at least 450 were already dead. Storms and strong wind delayed the rescue operations .Though the military and Red Cross assisted providing aid even through the helicopter but due to lack of coordination among the rescue workers the food and supplies were being spilled due to improper handling.

According to the Indonesian authorities the workers had been educated to handle emergency situations but everything happened so suddenly that those workers didn’t get any warning and were taken by surprise. What people fail to forget that natural disasters just happen you can adopt prevention methods beforehand but you simply can’t wait for warning signs.

According to the locals the recent eruption was stronger and devastating then the last week eruption. Around 47.000 people have been displaced and are staying at government camps but due to lack of co-ordination the authorities fail to provide them the relief that is due to the suffering victims of eth volcanic eruptions.
Alert level have been raised as it has been reported that there are signs of volcanic eruptions in the other four volcanoes of Indonesia. So its time the Indonesian started of to be more serious about enforcing the exclusion zone that so that valuable lives of people can be saved.

There search operations are being carried out looking for the dead victims while some dead bodies are being buried by their close relative .The Indonesians in the relief camps are suffering from respiratory infections due to the volcanic ash and they are also facing symptoms of throat burn. We should all try to play our part and help human lives as much as we can by supporting the Indonesians as you never know in which form we may end up facing natural disasters.

Mount Merapi’s spiritual gate keeper of Mount Merapi is also dead who till his last breathe hanged around protecting the volcanoes hidden spirit. He was a devoted spiritualist and took his job seriously. The people of Indonesia are the happy go lucky type though they are constantly facing threat of erupting volcanoes as they always hope for the best and this is what keeps them on their two feet.

The After Effects of the Gulf Spill Are Yet To Come

Sea Snot the sticky clump of organic matter discovered around the Middle East and surrounding regions is the result of the Gulf oil spill and has temporarily wiped out the base of the food chain by scouring the small organisms from the water column. The oil rig explosion site that was surveyed but the top scientists have spotted large particles of Sea Snot. These marine snow flakes are actually the tiny dead and living organic matter.

The mucous like substance produced by the ocean Phytoplankton pumped out more of this sticky stuff due to the devastation caused by the oil spill. Nobody knows how this organic matter sunk so fast and deep down in the ocean but according to scientific calculations the large number of organism that were killed due to oil spill became abnormally heavy and sank faster and deeper into the ocean.

It is possible for the Sea Snot storm to pass away but the devastating effects that it will leave behind is a matter of grave concern as it may starve or poison the marine creatures living in the area. It is possible that the snow storm may have ended up the lives of many marine bottom dwellers.

Researchers have also seen tar balls accumulate in the snow storm under the ocean bed and observed that their toxicity has also been a contributing factor for killing more marine life. Most fishes mature slowly making it difficult to actually determine how many species have been wiped out from the face of the Earth due to the oil spill.

The Gulf Oil spill has also threatened the lives of thousands of migratory birds who now have nowhere to go while we may face a lost generation of sea and land animals in the future as we can never tell for sure the real extent of the devastation caused by the Gulf oil spill. One can see the ill effects of the oil spill even in distant lands which are far away for water has no boundaries and it can flow from one area into another without any reservations. Thousands of dead jelly fish were discovered recently, additionally the low oxygen levels in the sea water has also been a contributing factor for many marine fishes are dead.

The Gulf oils spill has seen to expand in the dead zone when the mass of oil eating bacteria gobbled up all the oxygen and left none for the sea organisms. We humans are impatient creatures and aim for speed and success undermining the fact that nature works in its own way at a slow and steady pace to keep the eco system intact. We should adopt ways in life to inspire people to care about our plants so that we can save its natural resources for our future generations to come.

Water Pollution and its Unseen Fruits of the Future!

It sure is a reality of which we Earthlings should be aware of that the Earth’s rivers are in crises and this is going to cause dreadful devastations in the world. Freshwater is undoubtedly the most essential and the only water resource that is vital to life and this is the reason that humans have build dams and reservoirs to store freshwater. But the burgeoning human population and the chemical pollution has had far reaching results on these fresh water resources.

Latest research has uncovered the possible threat to Earth’s rivers which is affecting its quality and aquatic life throughout the world. The world‘s rivers are under stressful conditions as they go through agricultural intensifications and industrial developments. The flowing rivers are the only largest renewable water resources for the human population. But when you take note of the combined threat to freshwater rivers you can see a global syndrome of river degradation developing in the coming future.

United States of America and Europe face the highest level of threats of diminishing resources of freshwater. This is the reason that the government is working on project goals for water system protection.

Water pollution is actually the contamination of water bodies like lakes and river which in turn affect the aquatic plants and aquatic life who live and depend on it. This water pollution is actually caused by sewage effluent chemicals and fertilizers that contain harmful chemicals and are discharged without filtration into the river leaving negative health effects on living organisms including humans.

The Asian rivers are the most polluted rivers in the world as they have three fold increases of harmful bacteria as compared to other rivers. The most comprehensive river assessment results show that nearly eighty percent of the earth’s river bodies are at risk. And the river biodiversity is also in deep trouble because of the polluted water.

But some scientists still hopes that by working with nature we can secure our water future for our survival and development. The water body’s main risk factors are the overuse of water, pollution and over fishing. Humans are sucking the water bodies of the world to ensure the reliable supply for agriculture, as food is also an important ingredient of living.

Its time we made our contribution and start to adopt positive lifestyles that will not deplete out water resource and make them sustainable for the future generations to survive. If we start today we sure will get fruitful results as a fluid ounce of prevention is much better than a gallon of cure.

Depleting Water Resources In China - Thirsty Days Ahead!

According to the Hydrological reports China’s reservoirs have run dry and about 250,000 people are unable to get drinking water. China is the world’s second largest economy and is capable of importing myriad commodities to all parts of the world to drive such growth but there sure is no perfect solution to its water problem which is turning scarce with each passing minute.

The water crisis in China has risen quite recently as China was unable to support the infrastructure and water supplying streams in most sensitive parts of the country quickly enough to quench its thirsty population while the water shortage has really turned into a devastating situation.

The farmers of Northern China are under constant pressure as the land has developed cracks that are about 10 meters deep. While on the other hand, South West China’s Guizhou province drought has affected thousands of Chinese villagers and their live stock trying to live in the area. More troublesome is the deteriorating water quality that is constantly rising as the industries continue to pollute the water by draining their chemicals waste in it.

The Chinese government is trying to build dams, river reservoirs and deeper wells to store water and the large countries of China like Beijing have gone to the extent of tapping the underground water to meet the growing demand of water shortage of the Chinese people. World Bank has also warned China against the unsustainable demands of water that will increase the status difference between the rich and poor and the rural and the urban population living in the area.

The stability and growth of China is also threatened due to the water crises not only in China but several neighboring countries on the whole. Some beautiful natural lakes around China have found to be covered with a blanket of toxic blue green algae that has been identified to be the result of chemical fertilizers for agricultural cultivation. And according to reports the water tested from the Lakes was not even usable for watering plants and crops let alone drinkable water for human beings.

Although Southern China has abundant water but the water is not usable as it is polluted. China is trying its best to extract underground water most efforts remain in vain as the water table seems to be seeping lower each day. The Chinese government is trying to resolve the issue of water pollution by investing in waste water treatment facilities but something on a large scale should be done to meet the growing demand of water shortage in the whole world.

The Recent Solar Flare C3 That Escaped our Planet Earth

On 8th September 2010, the Sun unleashed a massive solar flare aimed over an array close to our planet. Luckily, we had escaped such a seemingly dreadful devastation as it would have caused maybe a lot more than just the expected bright auroras of hot light.

The Sun unleashed a powerful Solar flare from the sunspot location of 1105 but luckily it was aimed away form Earth and so our planet was untouched. However with the passage of time, what we may need to really worry about is the fact that the sun has entered an active 11 year period where it could start off shooting solar flares that could hit the earth. Such solar storms would have catastrophic consequences and can result in knocking out satellites which could further cause the mobile phones, cables, internet connectivity and obviously lead the electric power grids to shut down taking us back to medieval times.

Solar flares are categorized according to their intensity into A, B C of 100 to 800 picometer but the real thing is that the C class flares are powerful but can only create bright auroras on earth. The Sunspots are actually dark structure on the sun which are caused due to intense magnetic activity and erupt causing energetic storms and flare ups. Not many are aware of the proven fact that the fossil records confirm that Earth suffers mass extinction at a 27 million years interval. For this reason, NASA has planned a solar probe to be launched in 2018 so that the sun could be studied at from a close distance.

Due to the decreased rate of solar flares and radiations the atmosphere is shrinking and also lowering the levels of the solar radiation, the actual culprits that are blamed for the shrinking atmosphere. This sure can cause problems in the orbits and other rotating objects around the earth.

Scientists at the National Centre of Atmospheric Research discovered the need to study the importance of solar influences on our terrestrial environment both with scientific implications and social consequences. Satellites that orbit the Earth make the job a little less complex as the Thermosphere is more dense and shrunken, the unwanted debris will also rotate around the earth freely. The sun’s radiation penetrates into the first gaseous layer of the earth’s atmosphere that is the Thermosphere and when there is less solar activity this layer gets less dense plus the solar flares are also less active. Plus this is also the main reason that the density of the Atmospheric layer has decreed.

People World Over Still Struggle for a Quality Life

The world is at war fighting against poverty, hunger and inequality among the developing nations. For over a decade the world leaders are constantly fighting to overcome these problems and the world economic situation has collapsed under the pressure.

Nations around the world had already set their specific goals but the struggle is to meet the targeted goal in the year 2015. Leaders world over are busy planning the right strategies to start off on the perfect path of eradicating devastating problems from their lives. According to recent reports the sub Sahara African area has made very little progress for eradicating poverty. The lack of progress in mother and child deaths and promoting the quality of life of the females in poor and developing countries like Africa, Asia and Latin America needs improvement on a large scale.

The important goals of the world leaders are to eradicate poverty and hunger from the world so that no one stays hungry and to at least give the young kids the chance to get primary education so that the children of even the poor countries will have their basic education need fulfilled and will have a better quality of life. The set strategy of the world leaders is to promote gender equality so that girls and boys will get equal opportunities to educate themselves and will also provide opportunities to empower women as well as men as they should get equal rights.

They are also working up in improving the quality of life so that they can help reduce child mortality each year as more children die below the age of 5. These leaders are also trying to improve the maternal health of the females in these countries so that healthy women can give birth to healthy offspring and lead to lower birth to death ratios in both developing and developed nations today.

Combating the spread of infectious diseases like aids, HIV and malaria is another problem that is being targeted by the world leaders so that the quality of life in this world speeds up. Plus the main focus of all the countries is also to ensure possible ways for environmental stability as this is a problem that is getting worse each minute.

World leaders are trying hard to achieve but will they really be successful is uncertain but staying motivated to your cause helps in gaining the impossible.

The Mexican Oil Spill - Is it Over?

The oil spill that ruptured in the Gulf of Mexico is slowly seeping into the Middle East. Although the State authorities tried their best ways, closing the lakes from reaching the Eastern part and started lining up barges to stop the spilled oil from spreading. However, the oil spill is spreading as the sea has no boundaries but the clean up crews are working hard to collect the tar from the dock as quickly as possible to reduce the damages as much as they can.

Quite a huge amount of oil waste has been collected and the tests on sea life have not as yet turned up with oil contamination and this shows hope for the remaining sea life. These are incidents that are really unpredictable but a little care and precaution can surely help you to resolve such problems within a short time.

The slow response of the American government as compared to the fast forward reactions and solutions of the Malaysian and Singaporean people in such matters shows that they are far better in environmental performance. BP is surely responsible and needs to face all the liabilities in the circumstances of grave danger which may cause environmental destruction to both the coastal areas and the marine life living there.

The slow reaction of the Americans really speaks out that there is surely a need to make amend in the oil prevention policy within the US soil. The huge oil spill disaster occurred just days before the American president announced that more oil would be drilled of the Eastern and the Mexican shore of America. The most troubling question lurking behind the minds of the local population that are at risk is will they be able to survive the oil spill.

The bad weather conditions and the storm threat surely acts as an obstacle and halts most of the work at the oil spill. The reports of the oil spill are based on the State and Federal official conclusion. Plus the government makes its reports based on two estimates firstly it reports are based on the study of the undersea video of the oil and gas that is leaking out from the site and the study of the flow rate group is also combined to form the final report. But due to bad weather there may also be problems in getting the exact estimates and International news is filled up with the latest updates in the rescuing strategies used for the oil spill disaster.

The oil spill workers have landed on safer waters so that they don't get tangled up with the storm and are waiting for the weather to tone down so that they can start of with their protective measure in fast forward way.

Effects of a Photochemical Smog

Smog is a type of air pollution that is caused by the interaction of sunlight with certain chemicals in the atmosphere including aldehydes and the ozone particles themselves. The word smog is derivative of two combined words Smoke and Fog. The chemical reaction of sunlight, Nitrogen oxides and the volatile organic compounds leaves particulate matter at ground level zone and this leads to what we refer to as a Photochemical Smog.

Formation
The high level of nitrogen oxides are released in the air by the reaction of Nitrogen and Oxygen at high temperatures and the exhaust of fossil fuels, burning of engines and other vehicles is the leading factor in the formation of Photochemical Smog. Smog can also be formed by volcanic eruptions when high levels of sulphur are emitted along with the volcanic ash that reacts with other air pollutants.

History
Photochemical smogs have been one of the reasons for numerous deaths in the past other than the one’s marked by the two world wars. In 1952, London alone witnessed a photochemical smog that lasted 4 days killing approximately a thousand people a day. It was not until 1969, according to LA Times newspaper that scientists figured the hazards of the photochemical smog and discovered drying membranes in the nose and throat and also the imbalance in hormone systems due to the dreadful fogs.

Environmental Hazards
The smog also leaves devastating effects on the environment and kills thousands of species of animals and plants as they are still not immune or adapted to breathing in such a toxic environmentThe peroxyacetyl nitrate and ozone; the components of the photochemical smog themselves are known to be aggravating breathing difficulties, headaches and eye irritation alone. The most affected areas are the ones that contain large amounts of air pollutant but the affect of this deadly smog worsens during the warm season when the upper air is warm enough to inhibit vertical circulation. Thus one could imagine what problems may come under way when these combine together.

Effect on Humans
Photochemical Smog is also hazardous to human health. Photochemical smog causes pre-mature deaths and creates a lot of problems for even normal people. It can affect densely populated areas and can build up to dangerous levels. The most affected include senior citizens, children and people with heart complications who tend to suffer from bronchitis and asthma. The photochemical smog is the cause of inflamed breathing passages which cause decrease in the working capacity of normal lungs, pain in inhaling deeply and shortness of breath.

Solutions
A photochemical smog is considered a huge problem especially with the Modern industrialization and the hazardous chemicals involved that are not only highly reactive but also spread around in the atmosphere. The effects of photo chemical smog can be reduced by adopting helpful solutions like adopting lifestyle changes, limiting use of fossil fuels finding alternate means for transportation rather than fuel powered vehicles as this helps reduce the emission of the harmful emissions especially the ones that are released from car exhausts.
