Carbon offsetting can be an attainable effort for businesses to move in a positive direction. A carbon offsetting program is ideal for individuals or organizations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Companies can invest in such programs to lessen or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. These projects include reforesta...

Scientists’ exploration of dark oxygen in deep ocean developed phenomenon of new life

Image
  Dark oxygen is the global supportive exploration in the realm of marine science which beats the phenomenon of   the traditional notion of oxygen that can be uniquely dependent on sunlight and photosynthesis. Dark oxygen can miraculously support life in deep-sea environments, especially when sunlight is not available. According to marine Scientists, 'dark oxygen' is produced from metals on the sea bed which negate the theory of photosynthesis in which light is required to release oxygen. The process of producing dark oxygen is akin to electrolysis, where metallic nodules on the ocean bed produce electric charges that break water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen. The process of producing dark oxygen released from Polymetallic nodules that are similar to lumps of coal and composed of metals like manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and lithium. These nodules can generate oxygen through electrochemical activity in dark aquatic environments.   Important explorati...

Carbon dating of thousand years old structures, monuments reveal revolutionary advancement in planet

Historical bracing and digging out the revolutionary facts of sculptures at earth bed resonates the mind of modern era folks.  Carbon dating is the deep study of historical places, broken structures and ancient colonies. Valuable supports to current civilization to rebuild the history and embrace the pearls of olden loving pattern that can be life saver. Carbon dating is the key technique to explore the hidden facts of ancient civilization and changeable climatic conditions to modernize the global populace. Radiocarbon dating is a proven procedure to calculate the age estimates for carbon-based materials of living organisms. Age of architectures or any item is valued by gauging the amount of carbon-14 present in the sample collected from site and is compared with an internationally set standard. Assessing carbon-14 levels in human tissue may be fruitful for forensic scientists to determine age and death period in unknown human bodies found in debris or other spots. Carbon dating ...

Deforestation: A natural destructive force

Image
Deforestation demolishes the natural environment that threatens living organisms. Grave effect of deforestation encompasses the loss of biodiversity, upsetting the water cycle, impairment in natural surroundings, and soil erosion. Cutting trees at mass level in wider areas of land leads to deforestation. Other grounds of deforestation are natural calamities such as flooding or fire that can remove trees, shrubs and vegetation that keep balance in nature. Deforestation also results in global warming and rapid climate change. Forests are important for survival of land-based species, in balancing greenhouse gas emissions, providing a clean environment for breathing and defending against sudden climate change that can jeopardize humans. Dense forests offer a range of benefits to species as these have power to make fertile soil, bring rain, and prevent flood like situation in urban areas through absorbing excess water caused by heavy rain. Forestation also prevents drought and land de...

Human survival during landslide disaster

Image
  In advancing weather technology to predict natural disaster or sudden climate change, prepare inhabitants to relocate from sensitive places. Landslides are considered as a dangerous and life-threatening natural calamity. It happens suddenly and leads to massive destruction in the natural environment and human fatalities. Landslide in hilly regions causes flooding or rapid mudflow. A landslide is the natural drive of rock, soil or debris towards sloping areas of the land due to heavy rain, tremors, volcanoes that lead to slope shakiness. In a move to build a smart city, professionals must brilliantly sketch the all-modern facilities for ease of use such as building broad highways, high rise buildings and other constructions which may turn to be threatening for them. Over constructions without proper marking of slopes, poor drainage systems may be the decisive factors in triggering landslides. To prevent landslides, experts can adopt effectual techniques while constructing the st...

Animal testing and natural erosion

Image
Animals contribute to ecological balance and enhance the human living standard.  Cruel nature of some experimental scientists does not consider the animals' safety, welfare, and quality of life. While experimenting on animals for human interest, these innocent animals are highly exploited and some may die that is really against the law of nature. At a global scale, millions of animals are raised and used in different products like drugs, medical experiments, cosmetics, and other goods. In the animal industry, cultivated animals are a major threat to the environment. Though animal testing is highly beneficial to augment the physical health of individuals and inventing new medicines for life threatening disorders, such experiments have severe repercussions in environments that imbalance nature such as endangering the ecosystem, deforestation due to livestock farming and release greenhouse gases to worsen climatic conditions. Additionally, animal testing produces air, water and soil...

Natural cure for water crisis: Rainwater Harvesting

Image
Water is the basic requirement for inhabitants. Today, there are rapid climate changes which result in increasing global temperature, and create shortage of water in several regions. The continuing dropping of water levels is a grave concern for environmentalists as it leads to scarcity of usable water and creates imbalance in salinity of the area. Rainwater harvesting is a viable procedure to deal with this water crisis. Rain water is the root source of water both on surface and underground level. Rainwater harvesting is denoted as the collecting of rainwater, mostly on a roof, from where it flows through channels into a collection tank. It is basically a natural technique for a storage system. This could be either above or below the ground that collects, stores and distributes run-off of rain from roofs. Rain water harvesting is done in the area where there is a crisis of water or water resources are scarce. It reduces the consumption of treated municipal water for uses such as l...

Escape from Quicksand: Real incident

Trap in quicksand is dreadful experience and it may turn to life threating if we do not have knowledge to come out or we fail to use our intelligence and emergency reaction to escape from this deadly situation.  It is normally told to us from our elders that we should be alert while travelling to hilly, muddy or any challenging landscape.

Poisonous plants severely impact human health

Image
It is highlighted in innumerable medical researches that some plants contain toxic chemical substances which human consumes with their meals. Regular use of these toxic plants can cause many life threatening diseases. People must be aware about toxicity which can be severe or persistent and there are individual differences in tolerating poison. Other factors such as age, genetics, sex, diet, physiological state, or the health status also affect when toxic substance is consumed by a person. The quantity of toxic substances in plants can fluctuate with time due to budding season or as a consequence of environmental aspects such as famine. For instance, a toxic concentration of nitrate is usually high during drought that prevents the normal growth of many plants. It is observed that Solanum agrarium plant have toxin impact on humans which can induce cytogenetic damage. Another toxic plant, the genus Euphorbia generates caustic lattices that cause serious health conditions in hum...
