More effective desalination Production of cheap, fresh water may soon be possible, thanks to researchers from the University of Texas and Penn State . They managed to solve a problem that scientists had been grappling with for decades. The membranes used in the desalination process and in the general removal of other chemicals from the water are the primary means of water treatment. However, the reactions taking place there are so complicated that there is still a lot of room for research. A group of scientists has solved the difficult problem of these processes, which could lead to cheaper obtaining clean water. They found that desalination membranes have different density and mass distribution, which can affect their performance. The key to efficiency is to be uniform density at the nanoscale. Reverse osmosis systems are a commonly used method of water purification. For the past 40 years, it has not been fully known how exactly fluid moves through them. - Powers of the Environmental Protection Inspection with regard to the offenses specified in the "new" Water Law Act
Can the inspector of the Environmental Protection Inspection impose a fine by way of a penal mandate in the case of offenses specified in the Water Law Act of 20 July 2017? Can he apply a caution to these offenses? - Man causes extinction of mammals, not climate
Scientists differ in opinions about the causes of extinction of mammals in prehistoric times. Some point to human activities, others to climatic fluctuations, or to the combined human and climate influences that would best explain past extinctions, including representatives of megafauna . According to the latest research, the extinction of mammals in the last 126 thousand. years had more to do with negative human influences than with climatic factors. Human influence explains 96% of all mammalian extinctions at this time. - Chrobry was the first
Will the hare survive under the copper plateau? Will the toad resist human aggression? Can the lynx avoid the poacher's barrel? My neighbor says yes. On one condition, however, that man shows maximum reason and empathy. Unfortunately, it doesn't. It is so and it was so. That is why the greats of this world have long, ex officio, protected the natural heritage. On different ways. The ancients sheltered nature objects for religious and moral reasons. This is how the huge erratic boulders that served as sacrificial altars for priests survived. Thanks to beliefs, the Egyptian scarab lived in luxury. For the same reasons, sacred cows, monkeys and crocodiles were protected in India. The oldest information on nature conservation comes from Asia.Read more: Aura - Ochrona Środowiska (AURA Environmental Protection) 2021/01
