Mercury Air Pollution Literature Review
[ send me this paper ]
Mercury is a known neurotoxin and for this reason, it has been targeted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a primary target for improvement. Airborne mercury toxins not only stay in the air, but settle in the water and ground, making fish and food toxic, not to mention the mercury released into the air through car and other exhaust. Power plants are the biggest source of airborne mercury in the United States as well as the rest of the world. 9 references. jvMercst.rtf

Ocean Currents and the Overlying Atmospheric Circulation System
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the relationship between ocean currents and the overlying atmospheric circulation system. Both ocean circulation systems and atmospheric systems have definitive patterns which are comparable in their nature and both function in much the same way in regard to the manner which they move through the world. The author discusses the causes and effects of this interrelationship, noting important phenomena like hurricanes and the ability of the world’s currents to transport not only sedimentary material but man himself.

Red Tide: Impact Upon Mammals, Humans And Tourism
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Man's constant quest to advance his own species has typically been realized at the expense of all others in the plant and animal kingdom; only when the detrimental impact of humanity's selfish actions ultimately impact homosapiens is any thought given to fixing the problem. Such is the case with the phenomenon known as red tide whereby a toxic algal bloom caused by any number of man-made instigators poisons food sources and threatens the lives of those who consume the tainted delicacies. Inasmuch as the sea sustains all life - whether on land or in the water - its contribution to world survival equates to food, natural resources, drinking water and the protection of endangered species, a role it cannot play if its waters are full of red tide toxins. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
