Negative impact of harmful substances on the environment. Fundamentals of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

The main sources of air pollution are natural (volcanic eruptions, dust storms, forest fires, natural methane, sulfur and sulfate oxidation, etc.) and anthropogenic (combustion of fuel in industrial and domestic installations, industry, vehicles, thermal power plants, industrial power plants, ferrous metallurgy enterprises, evaporation of petroleum products, etc.) sources.

As a result of pollution, the following negative consequences:

1) exceeding the maximum permissible components of many toxic substances in cities and towns;

2) the formation of smog with intense emissions of nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons;

3) acid rain with intense emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides;

4) the appearance of the greenhouse effect with an increased content of the above chemicals and dust in the atmosphere, which contributes to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth;

5) the destruction of the ozone layer when nitrogen oxide and chlorine compounds enter it, which creates the danger of ultraviolet radiation.

Sources of pollution of the hydrosphere are biological, chemical and physical sources. Anthropogenic impact on the hydrosphere leads to a decrease in water reserves, a change in the state of the fauna and flora of water bodies, a violation of the circulation of many substances in the biosphere, a decrease in the biomass of the planet and, as a result, a decrease in the reproduction of oxygen.

Sources and substances polluting the soil, are: heavy metals and their compounds, cyclic hydrocarbons, benzopyrene, radioactive substances, nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, pesticides, etc. Violation of the upper layers of the earth's crust occurs during the extraction of minerals and their enrichment; disposal of household and industrial waste, during military exercises or tests, etc. Also, the soil cover is significantly polluted by precipitation in the zones of dispersion of various emissions in the atmosphere, arable land is polluted when fertilizers are applied and pesticides are used.

Anthropogenic impact on the soil is accompanied by:

1) rejection of arable land and a decrease in their fertility;

2) excessive saturation of plants with toxic substances, which inevitably leads to contamination of food products of plant and animal origin;

3) violation of biocenoses due to the death of insects, birds, animals, some plant species;

4) pollution of groundwater, especially in the area of landfills and wastewater discharges.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
