Synopsis: Wastes: Waste:

it reduces the planet's natural ability to filter out our garbage in the air. Check out the full infographic here (warning:

www. fsc. org www. printgrowstrees. orgunfortunately little conversation is given to the effects on the environment from electronic waste (computers cell phones etc.

Volcanos are the single most polluting thing on earth all it takes is one to outdo all the garbage man creates.

Stop with this global warming alarmist garbage and get back to the real science. I'm just impressed you go through it.

Now the chemical-waste haulers from Newark Elizabeth and Perth Amboy started to follow suit pointing their big rigs south on Route 9 in search of cheaper dumping grounds.

and chickens could not compete with hazardous waste as a cash crop since farmers typically were paid anywhere from $20 to $50 per drum of waste dumped on their land.

The big money came from from making waste drums disappear. One of the more enterprising landowners was named a man Edward Wilson who worked for Morton International in the 1950s

Wilson offered his family farm in Ocean County's Plumsted Township as a dumpsite for Morton's toxic wastes

--which were also popular destinations for industrial waste from out of town because they charged less

If the dumps were not burying waste they were burning it; on Fridays the usual burn day the trails of black smoke would billow for miles.

Taking in industrial waste from out of town served everyone's short-term interest. Farmers and rural townships got much-needed cash

He also did some waste trucking but had to give up his hauling permit after he was convicted in the late 1960s of illegally dumping chemical drums at the old Manchester Township landfill about ten miles west of Toms River.

Nick Fernicola needed a cheap place to dump all that waste a place where no one would ask any uncomfortable questions.

At the time it was one of the country's largest plastics factories generating hundreds of thousands of pounds of toxic waste.

Frank knew that Union carbide was looking for a hauler to get rid of thousands of deteriorating drums of waste accumulating on the Bound Brook property

though Nick Fernicola would need a cheap place to dump all that waste a place where no one would ask any uncomfortable questions about what was inside the rusty 55-gallon steel drums.

It would be the last time for eight months that Union carbide would take an interest in where thousands of its waste-filled drums were going.

Auroriato elaborate more on your point one of the most horrendous crimes of legalized dumping of toxic waste is happening all over the US and Canada.

however it also wastes allot of water in the process. In reverse osmosis for every 1 gallon of clean drinking water you produce you dump about 4 gallons

The paper does acknowledge the serious health and environmental concerns related to storage of nuclear waste.

@coachlowe Throw a bunch of nuclear waste into the atmosphere? Do you think burn up in the atmosphere means it just vanishes?

You tellin me that a couple hundred miles from my house I can't find powerplant waste with the Manhattan project waste at Hanford?

I don't know how disposal of nuclear waste is brought about but in one other story that was discussing future concepts of skyscrapers one was harnessing noise pollution to create energy another was using volcanos

It's called urine marking and acts as a form of communication through scent (and to a lesser extent a visual signal.

When urine spraying a wildcat raises up its tail and ejects backwards a spray of urine against a prominent object of its surrounding environment says the new study.

But as it turns out wildcats look for specific kinds of trees and plants to mark based on how well those plants natural characteristics will spread the scent of the mark.

Absolute garbage. Why must everything have some freekin'chemical to cover up the fact that it's made with more chemicals and processed crap?

Not to mention that they leave alot less waste to clean up and are way less gassy. All of our rescues have come in overweight and lethargic compared to their healthy counterparts even at 4 and 5 years old they acted closer to 10 in vitality 2 months of premium

if you see a comercial for it it's garbage if it's sold in a grocery store it's garbage.

Pet store and feed houses are where you find what you need they rarely carry grain based food.

The meat processing industry (for human consumption) generates about 47 billion pounds of waste per year of which 23%goes into pet foods.

If you're 99%identical to a monkey how closely related do you think you are to his feces?

Velveeta falls under processed garbage and american cheese and Kraft anything fall under the same category. Velveeta would not fall anywhere on this chart;

Sierra nevada has a Hotrot-brand composting system that turns spent grain and other waste into delicious compost

but obviously the vegetables arent spreading their own feces on themselves. The foodbourne illness IS CAUSED by dirty workers and too much fertilizer/pesticides.

We have seen more E coli infections recently that can be blamed on animal waste and fertilizers from animal waste which is possibly why buell mentioned them.

In the United states raw sewage is applied to conventionally grown produce...Seeing that green leafy veggies are eaten practically every meal as condiments garnishes salads

1. Noroviruses (even human stains) have been found in livestock-who's to say that rain doesnt wash contaminated feces into these fields?

For centuries physicians used a urine flavor wheel to help them diagnose a patient's illness based on the taste of the patient's pee.

While this wasn't particularly accurate overall it was quite helpful in detecting diabetes mellitus a disease that makes a patient's urine taste sweet.

Our planet cannot sustain such waste. This is totally unnecessary! There are surgical methods that are permanent

#How The World Wastes Food Infographic Every year the planet loses nearly a third of its food staggering 1. 4 billion tons.

and human excrement was disregarded; there was no proper water supply; the cisterns puddles and lakes furnished convenient breeding places for mosquitos;

and garbage were burned. The life and habits of the men were regulated carefully Government dining halls furnished good meals well cooked

and with that in mind the scientists fed a group of juniper-eating packrats a mixture of rabbit food and feces from creosote-eaters.

--but the crafty spinster cut out all of that garbage. When it was reported first in late 2012 the story received a fair amount of attention

Meanwhile the intricate and expensive skyrockets litter space with an orbiting junk pile and we can easily justify it as a means of defense.

The amount of poop urine and farts produced by hundreds or thousands of cows in CAFOS (concentrated animal feedlot operations) often leads to water pollution

#The Garbage Manin December 2001 American environmental activist Jim Puckett traveled to the town of Guiyu in southeast China to look for old computers.

He d learned that electronic waste from the West was finding its way to Guiyu

Puckett works for Basel Action Network (BAN) a group that monitors the export of hazardous waste.

and see garbage. I see an aboveground mine. Three hours north of London in the former boom-bust coal-mining town of Worksop MBA s 200000-square-foot recycling facility rises like a giant blue barn.

and see garbage. I see an aboveground mine. Everyone mentions that line from The Graduate where Dustin hoffman receives one word of advice:

and Belize looking for a place to dispose of 3168 tons of garbage. No one would take it

and a standoff with the Mexican Navy the garbage was incinerated finally back in New york. The other event involved Berkeley California

We didn t hire a Ph d. in plastics to work in garbage May told him.

The majority of e-waste and plastics continue to be processed improperly in the developing world.

Biddle s education on the dumping of e-waste in the developing world began in 2000 before Puckett had traveled even to Guiyu

and brokers to continue dumping e-waste in the developing world. To learn more Biddle began traveling to places like Mumbai and Mexico city.

He coined the use of the term environmental arbitrage to describe this shifting of waste from rich nations to poor ones

E-waste gets sold and resold through domestic and foreign brokers and there s little downstream auditing to determine where it ends up.

The upshot is that shipments of recyclables into the country must truly be recyclables not contaminants or waste.

The goal is to separate undifferentiated garbage into five high-grade plastics that can be sold back to manufacturers.

And because it relies on layers of smaller beams it can reduce waste by using odd-shaped knotty timber that lumber mills would otherwise reject.

Like rabbits and hares pikas produce a fraction of their feces in the form of caecal (pronounced see-cull) pellets

versus normal feces that are hard individual pellets.)Pikas and rabbits and their gut microbes are the ultimate recycling factory Dearing says.

The nation's children throw about $3. 8 million of that in the garbage each day.

and energy and produce less hazardous waste compared to petroleum-based processes. The products can be used as adhesives composites

Tourist-fed iguanas also displayed atypical loose faeces. Dr Knapp says Both sexes on visited islands consume food distributed by tourists

and urine of the mother and her child to determine their iodine status . Although administration of iodine to the mother passed an astonishing amount of the trace element from the mother's breast milk to the child the iodine concentration in the urine of the baby was well below the critical threshold just nine months after birth.

In the case of the mother herself the onetime dose was unable to remedy the iodine deficiency at any point in time.

The reduction was particularly noticeable in strains that adhere to the intestinal mucosa and less so in the feces)

The water-stressed tropical forest trees support the production of more honeydew a sugary excretion imbibed by the Azteca ants that nest in the laurels'stem cavities.

could help solve waste problema new biodegradable and recyclable form of medium density fibreboard (MDF) has been created that could dramatically reduce the problem of future waste.

or composted would be a significant benefit to an industry often criticised for the amount of waste it generates.

These waste materials can lead to improved strength hardness and cost benefits. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by University of Leicester.

The scientists used municipal solid waste compost anaerobic digestate and a commercial organic fertilizer in the field experiments designed to determine yield yield components crop quality

Up until now it has been underutilised as a biomass residue and waste material. These were the conclusions of a study conducted by the TLL (Thueringian regional institute for agriculture) the DBFZ (German biomass research center) and the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ.

But a new Duke university study says it can link what is in a patient's urine to gene mutations that cause retinitis pigmentosa or RP an inherited degenerative disease that results in severe vision impairment and often blindness.

I knew from my previous experience in analyzing urine samples from liver disease patients that I can readily detect dolichols by liquid chromatography

Using these techniques he analyzed urine and blood samples from the six family members and found that instead of dolichol-19 the profiles from the three siblings with RP showed dolichol-18 as the dominant species. The parents who each carry one copy of the mutated DHDDS gene showed intermediate levels of dolichol-19 and higher

Since the urine samples gave us more distinct profiles than the blood samples we think that urine is a better clinical material for dolichol profiling he said.

Urine collection is also easier than a blood draw and the samples can be stored conveniently with a preservative.

and urine samples of the pregnant women were tested to substantiate the effect from exposure to tobacco smoke

and even death in humans are spread by consuming contaminated food and water or by contact with livestock feces in the environment.

when the cattle are'super-shedding'--excreting extremely high numbers of bacteria in their feces for a limited period of time.

Ducks can become infected with influenza virus through consumption of surface water contaminated with faeces shed by virus infected birds.

The giant pandas are contributing their feces explained Ashli Brown Ph d. who heads the research. We have discovered microbes in panda feces might actually be a solution to the search for sustainable new sources of energy.

It's amazing that here we have endangered an species that's almost gone from the planet yet there's still so much we have yet to learn from it.

Brown and colleagues also are forging a collaboration to get samples of feces from giant pandas that arrived in the Toronto Zoo earlier in 2013.

But along with other food packaging they account for about one-third of the 250 million pounds of solid waste that people in the United states produce annually.

Estimates suggest that the United states wastes about 40 percent of food crops. The problem is especially acute in China.

and waste of food as a basis for developing policies that could help sustain the food supply in the future.

The overall loss meant the waste of an estimated 177 billion cubic yards of water used to produce food grown

And it meant the waste of 64 million acres of cropland sown and harvested in vain.

The additive a simple mixture of organic waste such as chicken manure and zeolite a porous volcanic rock could be used to support agriculture in both the developed and developing world

and--more importantly sustained--even on coal waste highly contaminated with metal residues. Using coal waste from the site of a former colliery in Nottinghamshire as a substrate the researchers grew rapeseed flax sugar beet and maize with different additives:

manure zeolite lime or biofertiliser as well as coal waste alone and regular garden soil. Plants grown in the coal waste with added biofertiliser achieved nearly twice the weight

and yield of those grown in garden soil or in coal waste with added manure and more than twice the weight and yield of those grown in coal waste with added zeolite.

The results are published in the August issue of the International Journal of Environment and Resource.

The coal waste contains chemical elements that can be ionised by the biofertiliser making nutrients which are essential to growth available for uptake by the plants.

As the organic waste in the mixture decomposes it produces ammonium ions which build up on the surface of the zeolite.

of which come from the feces of a Southeast Asian animal called a palm civet. Their study appears in ACS'Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

and E coli bacteria have joined forces to turn tough waste plant material into isobutanol a biofuel that matches gasoline's properties better than ethanol.

and another to sanitize human waste. Sanitation and sterilization are enormous obstacles without reliable electricity said Rice photonics pioneer Naomi Halas the director of LANP

For the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation program that is sponsoring us we needed to create a system that could handle the waste of a family of four with just two treatments per week

The study published in Nature Publishing Group's Scientific Reports looked at the frequency of'micronuclei'--a telltale sign of chromosomal damage (that has been shown by others previously to be linked to cancer) by screening more than 400000 individual cells extracted from urine samples

The disposal of the tomato skin and its other fibrous materials is an economic waste for many food processing industries.

and waste less food and regulatory changes to improve the efficiency and resilience of the food system.

Biogas recovery systems are used in processing facilities to produce energy from animal waste. Animal waste is collected in lagoons where the gas is captured.

The gas is transported through an internal combustion area that produces energy for heat and electricity. I expect there to be more improvement as we continue be more efficient continue to do more with less

and logging waste makes up about 75 percent of global biofuel production. Mineral soil carbon responses can vary highly depending on harvesting intensity surface disturbance and soil type.

Integration of the results from the various beamlines revealed the minerals'potential applications for high-performance concretes including the encapsulation of hazardous wastes.

Bryan Murray a Phd candidate at Michigan Tech and two faculty members Professor Christopher Webster and Assistant professor Joseph Bump studied the effects on soil of the nitrogen-rich waste that white-tailed deer

They compared eastern hemlock stands where deer congregated to stands where deer were fenced out and found a strong relationship between the amount of soil nitrogen from the deer's waste products

That potential exists they say despite serious questions about safety disposal of radioactive waste and diversion of nuclear material for weapons.

Samples of this logging waste regularly arrive at SINTEF to be transformed into fuel. In the raw form in which the biomass arrives at the laboratory it is regarded as a problematic and therefore low-value fuel.

Nonsmokers who spent the night at any of the hotels provided urine and finger wipe samples to assess their exposure to nicotine

Samples analyzed included drinking water feces contaminated soil and cloacal and tracheal swabs. Of these samples 20 were positive for the presence of H7n9 influenza viruses.

In a new study at UC San francisco researchers measuring chemicals in the blood and urine concluded that hookah smoke contains a different--but still harmful--mix of toxins.

Levels of a benzene byproduct doubled in the urine of volunteers after using a hookah in comparison to after smoking cigarettes.

which are found in human and animal waste and in agricultural runoff containing fertilizer. If algae can flourish

or chemical reagents and does not generate any waste. The key enzymes immobilized on the magnetic nanoparticles can easily be recycled using a magnetic force.

through a type of internal spring cleaning that both clears out garbage within the cells and keeps them in their stem-cell state.

Without FIP200 these crucial stem cells suffer damage from their own waste products --and their ability to turn into other types of cells diminishes.

To address the major challenges in managing the growing amounts of animal and human waste water pollution; protecting water resources and restoring an economically vital coastline we will need to invest in the characterization of our water microbiological communities and shift the pollution science paradigm toward an understanding of risk and resilience under global change.

#Reducing waste of food: A key element in feeding billions more peoplefamilies can be key players in a revolution needed to feed the world

He described that often-invisible waste in food--4 out of every 10 pounds produced in the United states alone

It also will require action to reduce a terrible waste of food that gets too little attention.

That waste can occur due to spoilage from improper storage of grain during transportation or from pests.

or spoil 20 percent of the world's food supply due to contamination with their urine and feces.

and then passed back into the environment through feces. By not needing its envelope to survive outside the host the virus gains the ability of non-enveloped viruses to survive longer

reaction column that uses waste heat engineered materials and optimized components. Hirasaki's team was one of 16 chosen by the Department of energy (DOE) in 2011 to develop innovative techniques for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

Rice's new study found that in cases where waste is available it may be used to capture CO2.

--which includes crop residues like wheat straw switchgrass whole trees and wood waste. This drop in fuel is designed to be a direct replacement for gasoline

and blood and urine samples were taken also. The samples collected were sent back to the UK to be analysed for their levels of selenium.

Similarly the women of the Zombwe region had less than half the levels of selenium in their blood and about one-third of the levels of selenium in their urine than that of their Mikalango counterparts.

By digesting more phosphorus the Enviropig also produces less phosphorus in its waste. The enzyme is secreted in the saliva

This was characterized by elevations in plasma urea and protein in the urine. The researchers found increased deposits of triglycerides (TG)( especially saturated fatty acids) increased signs of oxidative stress and depleted copper levels in the kidneys.

and E coli which carries resistant genes directly from animals through their feces into the environment.

Shells in the gravel section suggest the path was made probably from waste material from the water filter gravel beds that still exist opposite the hall of residence.

But one fragment spotted by chance in the waste took the team right back to the Neolithic period.

because the kidneys are responsible for removing acid through the urine. Metabolic acidosis can cause rapid breathing confusion and lethargy.

#¢Urine measurements of kidney injury were lower after one year in both groups.#¢#¢Although fruits and vegetables are rich in potassium

The study included 160 ischemic stroke/TIA patients 18-55 years old who had urine screens upon admission to the hospital.

Only 8. 1 percent of controls tested positive for cannabis in urine samples. Researchers found no differences in age stroke mechanism or most vascular risk factors between marijuana users and non-users.

In the study the regional ethics committee allowed researchers to use urine samples from other hospitalized patients.

In particular it raises concern over the use of treated waste water to irrigate crops all over the world

which are present in pesticides industrial waste and building materials. These compounds penetrate the body mainly through food but also through air or the skin.

and pollution especially from garbage floating on the ocean. The birds ingest large amounts of marine debris--by some estimates 5 tons of plastic are fed unknowingly to albatross chicks each year by their parents.

The parasites are identified in lemur fur and feces. Some species--such as pinworms whipworms and tapeworms--cause diarrhea dehydration and weight loss in human hosts.

As trying to catch the howlers to examine them would in itself be highly stressful for the animal the best way of evaluating stress levels in wild primates is by analysing their faeces for glucocorticoid stress hormones which are general to all vertebrates.

#Graphene oxide soaks up radioactive waste: U s.,Russian researchers collaborate on solution to toxic groundwater woesgraphene oxide has a remarkable ability to quickly remove radioactive material from contaminated water researchers at Rice university

The lab tested graphene oxide synthesized at Rice with simulated nuclear wastes containing uranium plutonium

Graphene oxide introduced to simulated wastes coagulated within minutes quickly clumping the worst toxins Kalmykov said.

From the intestinal bacterium Escherichia coli contained in a human urine sample the scientists retrieved 90 per cent of the genome in one go.
