UNIT 12
  • THE POLLUTION

3
    POLLUTION OF WATER
  • Some sea and aquatic experts argue that all the
    new ones products introduced in our sea and
    rivers should be considered potentially lethal.  
  •      "the following day we navigated under weak
    wind through an ocean where the limpid water was
    full of flotation and black masses of tar,
    seemingly endless... Atlantic Ocean no longer it
    was blue, but grey-greenish and opaque, covered
    with clots of petroleum that varied of size, from
    the head of a pin to the dimensions of a
    sandwich. In the middle of the garbage, bottles
    of plastic floated.      could be in a dirty town
    port... he/she Became clear for us that the
    humanity was really to pollute his/her more vital
    one nascent, the indispensable filter of our
    planet, the ocean." from"The Expedições Rã by
    Thor Heyerdalil.  
  •  Marks of the pollution is very visible foamy
    rivers, an oily shine to the surface of a lake,
    blocked courses of water of domestic garbage (as
    it is the case of our river Gild). But great part
    is invisible. Lakes affected by the acid rains
    can still seem very beautiful but without
  • Unhappily the aggression to our aquatic
    atmosphere doesn't end here. In the seas, lakes
    and rivers an enormous diversity of different
    species exist and many of them supply the
    humanity with a lot of nutritious food. Threats
    didn't exist to this source of food before 19th
    century. When larger ships and techniques more
    efficient piscatorial, began to provoke a serious
    wear and tear in the reproductive populations.
    From the ocean whale to the smallest crustacean
    of fresh water has been decimated by the Man.The
    diffusion of marine garbage of pole to pole turns
    necessary an international surveillance. The
    ships that spill petroleum and pollutant chemical
    in the water of the oceans. But although the
    discharges and haemorrhages of petroleum in the
    high sea have important local effects, these
    waters are free from the worst effects of the
    pollution. The main concern areas are the ones
    that are close to earth and to agglomerated
    humans. It is here that the pollution ponders, it
    is also here that there is most of sea life, in
    the continental platforms.

 2. Effects of the pollutants more common in
the rivers, lakes, estuaries, coastal waters,
swamps and water tables

  • Nitrates are found in the sewers, the fertilizers
    and the phosphates (found in the detergents and
    fertilizers). In excessive levels, the nutrients
    stimulate the growth of aquatic plants and algae.
    The excessive growth of these organisms can
    affect the navigability it can provoke a
    decrease of oxygen.Once these organisms use the
    dissolved oxygen as they are decomposed they  can
    block the light of deep waters. This affects
    seriously the breathing of the fish and of the
    aquatic invertebrate animals what originates a
    decrease of the diversity of animals and plants
    affects our use of the water for fishing and
    swimming. In the water tables, the fertilizers
    and nitrates are among the main contaminators of
    drinking water.
  •      The fine sands and other solids are
    resulted of construction areas, urban areas. When
    these sediments enter in rivers, lakes, coastal
    waters or swamps, the breathing of the fish is
    harmed, the productivity of the plants and the
    depth of the waters are reduced and the organisms
    of their habitats are removed.
  •      The pathogenic organisms (certain bacteria,
    viral illnesses, protozoa, transported by the
    water) can cause human diseases that vary from
    the typhoid and the dysentery, even breathing
    diseases . These organisms go to the water
    through many roads, including sewers treated
    inadequately, coming waters of a storm, septic
    system and boats that spill sewers. Because it is
    impossible to test the water for each type of
    bacteria caused of diseases,it has been made
    tests to find an indicative bacterium just as the
    faecal oviform that it allows the water to be
    seen if it is polluted in the sewer that it was
    not treated and if other more dangerous organisms
    are present.
  •      The organic material can penetrate in the
    drivers of water as sewers or as leaves. When the
    bacteria and the natural protozoa in the water
    begin to decompose these organic materials, they
    begin to drain the oxygen dissolved in the water.
    Many types of fish cannot survive when the levels
    of dissolved oxygen is lower .The metals (just
    as the mercury, the lead and the cadmium) and the
    poisonous organic chemists (just as PCB) they are
    usually resistant to the atmosphere and they can
    cause the death or reproductive flaws in the fish
    . In addition, they can be accumulate in the
    animals and in the reproduction of fish. They
    can be absorbed in sediments or be found in
    reservations of water ,putting in risk the human
    health.

 POLLUTION OF WATER IN PORTUGAL
  • In Portugal there are several examples that
    pollution is capable to do the rivers, that in
    times they were clean rivers, now the water is
    quite dirty, the smell is also quite unpleasant
    the beaches along the Portuguese coast, were also
    in times beaches where the water and the sand
    were very clean and now they are quite polluted
    Febros, tributary of the I Gild, that in times it
    had been inhabited by a great abundance and
    variety of fish doing get there to be otters, now
    it is just "inhabited" by trucks tires, bottles
    and many other things. Small rivers and pluvial
    conducts also serve of deposit, spilling tons of
    debris daily in the river and in the sea. The
    effects are evident pollution. Certain beaches
    constitute a risk for the public health, for the
    children or adults, that a lot of of the times,
    they are very near to play or to take bath, a lot
    of times without they know the danger that they
    run. In rivers, as in the Portuguese beaches, the
    existent pollution, the collar like concentration
    did constitute a threat to the public health. But
    it is not everything. The sewer is composed by
    great amounts of organic matter and pathogenic
    organisms and still salts minerals, that when
    arriving, without treatment to a river, the
    organic matter is degraded, consuming a lot of
    oxygen. The pathogenic organisms survive and the
    salts minerals feed the existent flora that it
    reproduces quickly and in some cases, it produces
    poisonous substances. The treatment of the sewers
    would eliminate the pathogenic organisms and it
    would facilitate the control of the development
    of the fluvial plants, increasing the amount of
    existent oxygen in water.  The microbial flora
    and the very abundant parasitic fauna in the
    sewer are also a reason to be concerned of. We 
    should not forget the famous black plague that
    killed so much people, nor the cholera in having
    provoked for water infected by sewers.

  •    The pesticides and herbicides used in the
    agricultural lands can be taken by the rain or by
    the overhead irrigations for the soil and for the
    superficial waters. These contaminations are in
    general very persistent in the atmosphere and
    they can be accumulate in the fish and in others
    you encourage levels that can put in risk the
    human health and even the atmosphere.The
    pesticides can be infiltrated in lands and
    pollute the wells of drinking water.
  •     The modifications of the habitat result of
    such activities are as the agriculture, the
    canalisations, construction of dams. The typical
    examples of the effects of the hydrological
    modification include losses of the coastal
    vegetation and increase of the temperature of the
    waters.
  •     The other pollutants include the salts, acid
    pollutants and the oil. The water can become
    inappropriate for the aquatic life and for some
    human uses when it is contaminated by salts. The
    salinity sources include the salt water, used in
    the extraction of the oil and the intrusion of
    salt water in the soil and in the superficial
    waters close to the coast.  The problems of
    acidity can happen in areas with many abandoned
    mines and in areas open to the acid rain. The
    changes of the acidity (measure of the pH) can
    alter the poisonous level of other chemical in
    the water and they can turn lakes or fountains
    inappropriate for the aquatic life.
  •     Other pollutants that worry the Man include
    the crude and other derived products of the
    petroleum that can be spilled during its
    extraction, processing, transport or escape of
    the underground reservoirs poisonous aquatic
    plants, particularly species introduced that
    compete with other native plants and the
    temperature increase resulting of the process of
    industrial cooling or modifications of the
    habitat.

4. POLLUTION OF WATER IN THE WORLD
  • In United Kingdom, about 1 and half billion are
    unloaded everyday for the sea through conducts
    along the coast. Besides, approximately 2 million
    tons of garbage poison are unloaded for the sea
    all of the years. Two great problems of this
    discharge appear the derived visible debris of
    the sewers and, more important still, the risks
    for the health that can happen after using waters
    polluted by sewers.  
  •      The whales Belugas live in the waters of the
    river S. Lourenço, in Canada. They are the only
    whales of fresh water of the world. They are
    white and poisonous. The industrial and dangerous
    pollutant chemical products that it has been
    coming to accumulate in the river along the last
    40 years are transferred along the alimentary
    chain for Belugas. The reproduction of the whales
    contain such concentrations of these chemical
    ones that, according to the Canadian law, to
    their bodies it has the special destiny of the
    poisonous garbage.  
  •      Since 1940 the United States increased
    70.000 new chemical substances to the atmosphere.
    These are found in soils, water and eventually
    in our feeding. Nobody is safe. All are the
    victims of the pollution.      "As  industries of
    the United States generate to the turn of 40
    million tons of poisonous debris a year, 90 of
    them ,  according the estimates of E.P.A.
    (Environment Protection Agency), they are
    unloaded inadequately (without the due treatment)
    ". The USA are not the only ones. There are many
    industrialized countries producing of poisonous
    substances. It is considered that the drinking
    water of the USA has 2100 chemists poisonous
    cancer causes, cellular mutations and nervous
    problems. The central of existent treatment are
    not prepared to remove the new poisonous
    chemists, and the government is slow to take
    measures to regulate the high taxes of
    contamination.

Polluted Ramalde..!!!!
  • Ramalde reflects the pollution of any city in
    roads of development.There is a serious
    instability environmental .There are coming
    garbage of the domestic life, there are
    discharges, so much for atmosphere as for the
    formerly beautiful river. There is a criminal
    negligence on the part of the civil authorities.

Pollution A Preoccupying Situation
  •  The Town Hall services are responsible for the
    collects and treatment of data about resonant and
    atmospheric pollution.As we announced, the
    situation is really serious in most of the areas
    of the people of Campo Grande and S. João. Two
    examples
  • - The noise reaches, as minimum values, the 70
    and 75 decibels (dB). With the passage of
    airplanes, in certain areas, reaches the 100 dB.
    An alone value by itself preoccupying r the human
    health.

14
Introduction to the Pollution
  • In the nature, a biological balance among all the
    alive beings. In this system in balance the
    organisms produce substances that are useful for
    other organisms and so forth. The pollution will
    exist every time that residues (solids, liquids
    or gaseous) produced by micro organisms, or
    thrown by the man in the nature, they go superior
    to the capacity of absorption of the environment,
    provoking alterations in the survival of the
    species. The pollution can be understood, still,
    as any alteration of the existent ecological
    balance.
  • The pollution is produced essentially by the man
    and it is directly related with the
    industrialization processes and the humanity's
    consequent urbanization. Those are the two
    contemporary factors that can explain the current
    pollution indexes clearly. The pollutant agents
    are the more possible variables and they are
    capable to alter the water, the soil, the air,
    etc.
  • Pollution, is therefore, an aggression to the
    nature, to the environment in that the man lives.
    The effects of the pollution are today so wide
    that already countless organizations of defence
    of the environment exist.

15
Classification of the Pollutants
16
In agreement with the Origin
  • a)Primary Pollutant - they are present in the
    atmosphere in the shape that it is emitted as a
    result of some process. The main ones pollutant
    of this category are so much solids, as liquids
    and gaseous, or even radiations. We mentioned as
    primary pollutant fine particles, rude
    particles, composed of nitrogen, carbon
    monoxides, composed of sulphur, composed
    halogenations, composed organic, among others.

17
In agreement with the Origin
  • b)Secondary Pollutant - It is produced in the
    atmosphere by the reaction among two or primary
    pollutant, or by the reaction with constituent
    normal atmospheric, with or without
    picture-activation. We mentioned as secondary
    pollutant oxidizers, acid fogs, smog.

18
In agreement with the State
  • a) Gases and steams - CO, CO2, SO2, NO2
  • b) Solid and liquid particles - Dusts, tobaccos,
    fogs and smokes

19
Solid and liquid particles - Dusts, tobaccos,
fogs and smokes
  • a) Pollutant Organic - Hydrocarbons, aldehydes
    and acetones
  • b) Pollutant Inorganic - H2S, HF, NH3

20
The great forms of aquatic pollution
21
  • Pluvial sewers and urban drainage - Drainage of
    impermeable surfaces including streets, buildings
    and other areas paved for sewers or tubes before
    they unload for superficial waters.
  • Industrial - pulp Factories and of paper,
    chemists' factories, factories of textile,
    factories of alimentary products...

22
  • Agricultural - Excess of fertilizers that will
    infiltrate in the soil and to pollute the
    underground water tables and the rivers or brooks
  • Extraction of resources Minas... - Modifications
    hydrological Canalisations, construction of
    dams...

23
Chemical pollution of the waters
  • It is a type of pollution of waters that reaches
    rivers and oceans. Two types of pollutant
    characterize the chemical pollution

24
  • a) Biodegradable - Chemical products that at the
    end of a time, they are decomposed by the action
    of bacteria. They are examples of pollutant
    biodegradable the detergent, insecticides,
    fertilizers, petroleum, etc
  • b) Persistent - Saint chemical products that
    stays for long time in the environment and in the
    alive organisms. These pollutant ones can cause
    serious problems as the contamination of foods,
    fish and crustaceans. They are examples of
    pollutant persistent DDT, the mercury, etc.

25
  • Usually the mercury is used in the mining to
    separate the gold in the rivers. If a polluted
    fish for mercury be ingested by people, this
    polluted fish can take these people until the
    death if they don't take you make arrangements
    immediate.
  • The rivers usually get to "dilute" a certain
    amount of pollutant chemical, but if these
    amounts are outdated grows in the river
    green-bluish algae, that you/they make to smell
    him/it badly. These bacteria reproduce quickly
    and they are going increasing stealing all the
    oxygen of the water. Without oxygen the fish are
    going dying little by little, and a lifetime in
    the river it is going stopping existing, dying
    the bacteria besides.

26
Pollution by pathogenic organisms
  • The water can be infected by pathogenic
    organisms, existent in the sewers. Like this, it
    can contain

27
  • Bacteria - they Provoke infections intestinal
    epidemics and endemic (typhoid fever, cholera,
    shigelose, salmonelose, leptospirose etc.).
  • Virus - they provoke hepatitides, infections in
    the eyes etc.
  • Protozoa - Responsible for the am biases and
    giardíases, etc.
  • Worms - Esquistossomose and other infestations

28
Pollution of Rivers
29
  • As fruit of the man's performance on the
    environment, the problem of the pollution of the
    rivers appears.
  • The sources of pollution of the water of the
    rivers result, among other factors, of the
    domestic sewers, industrial spilling, drainage of
    the rain of the urban areas and of the waters of
    irrigation return.

30
  • This way, mainly the current century, the great
    population growth and the industrial development,
    besides the use, every time larger, of chemical
    fertilizers and insecticides in the farming has
    been causing serious damages in general to the
    rivers and the life.
  • The great concentrations of nitrogen and match,
    used in the fertilizers and fertilizers, they
    constitute a type very common of pollution of the
    water. The torrents transport for the rivers the
    phosphates and nitrates. These nurture the
    aquatic plants, the ones which, multiplying
    (especially algae), they absorb the oxygen of the
    water.The lack of oxygen provokes the death of
    many plants and animals that, if they decompose,
    increase the pollution.

31
  • It is noticed that the rivers, as source of
    foods, means of transportation and suppliers of
    water for the irrigation of lands and for use in
    general of the man, they had been threatened .It
    is need measures to stop pollution or rigid norms
    of the use of the natural resources must be
    adopted. In case that it doesn't happen the
    rivers will be agonizing.
  • In United Kingdom, about 1 billion of litres they
    are unloaded everyday for the sea through
    conducts along the coast. Besides, approximately
    2 million tons of garbage poison are unloaded for
    the sea all of the years. Two great problems of
    this discharge appear the derived visible debris
    of the sewers and, more important still, the
    risks for the health that you/they can happen
    after using waters polluted by sewers.

32
The Thermal Pollution
33
  • The thermal pollution elapses of the release, in
    the rivers, of the warm water used at the process
    of cooling of refineries, steel industries and
    thermo electrical plants. For the alive beings,
    the effects of the temperature concern the
    acceleration of the metabolism, in other words,
    of the chemical activities that happen in the
    cells. The acceleration of the metabolism
    provokes increase of the need of oxygen and,
    consequently, in the acceleration of the
    breathing rhythm. On the other hand, such
    breathing needs are committed, because the
    haemoglobin has little likeness with the warm
    oxygen. Combined and reinforced with other
    pollution forms she can impoverish the atmosphere
    in an unexpected way.

34
Atmospheric pollution
35
  • The emission sources of pollutant primary and of
    the secondary components it can be the most
    varied possible. The emission of poisonous gases
    for self-driven vehicles is the largest source of
    atmospheric pollution.
  • In the cities, those vehicles are responsible for
    40 of the pollution of the air, because they
    emit gases as the monoxide and the carbon
    dioxide, the oxide of nitrogen, the dioxide of
    sulphur, derived of hydrocarbons and lead. The
    refineries of petroleum, chemical and
    metallurgical industries, paper mills and cement
    emit sulphur, lead and other heavy metals, and
    several solid residues.

36
  • The identification of a source of atmospheric
    pollution, depends, before anything else, of the
    patterns adopted to define the pollutant agents
    and their effects on men, animals, vegetables or
    other materials, as well as of the criteria to
    measure the pollutant ones and their effects.
  • Those alterations provoke in the man breathing
    disturbances, allergies, degenerative lesions in
    the nervous system, and in vital organs, and
    cancer. In cities very polluted, those
    disturbances become worse in the winter with the
    thermal inversion, when a layer of cold air forms
    a glass dome in the high atmosphere, arresting
    the hot air and impeding the dispersion of the
    pollutant ones.

37
Pollution of Soil
38
The soil in ecosystem
  • We already saw that the soil is integral part of
    the ecosystems, for its participation in the
    biochemical cycles. The use of water and
    nutrients are cyclical since, solitary of the
    soil, such elements return to the same through
    the biochemical cycles .

39
The problem of the Garbage
40
  • The urban garbage is constituted predominantly by
    organic matter and as such it suffers intense
    decomposition, allowing the recycling. The
    decomposition can be made by two processes
    aerobium and anaerobe.

41
The aerobic decomposition is much faster, and the
residues resultants are carbon gas, salts
minerals and some composed organic that, more
resistant to the biodegradation they don't arrive
the if to decompose totally. The anaerobic
decomposition, however it can originate composed
noxious, as gas sulphuric, mercaptans and others
composed that can be poisonous or to exhale bad
smell. The urban garbage suffers four processes
lixões, sanitary embankments, compost gem and
incineration. In the case of the "lixões", the
garbage is simply taken for wastelands where it
is exposed and it is taken advantage and people
can take the risk of contracting diseases. On the
other hand the lixão provokes intense
proliferation of flies and other insects. Another
inconvenience is the "corume", that it results of
the decomposition of the garbage and that it
pollutes the soil and the water tables.
42
The resonant pollution differs enough of the
pollution of the air and of the water as for the
following aspects
43
  • a) The noise is produced everywhere and,
    therefore, it is not easy control him/it in the
    source as it happens in the pollution of the air
    and of the water
  • b) Although the noise produces cumulative effects
    in the organism, in the same way that other
    pollution modalities, he/she differs for not
    leaving residue so soon in the atmosphere is
    interrupted
  • c) Differing of the pollution of the air and of
    the water, the noise is just noticed in the
    proximities of the source
  • d) there is No larger interest for the noise nor
    motivation for you combat him/it the people are
    more capable to complain and to demand political
    action concerning the pollution of the air and of
    the water than regarding the noise
  • e)the noise, to the that seems, doesn't have more
    generic effects, as it happens with certain forms
    of pollution of the air and of the water, to
    example of the radioactive pollution. However I
    inconvenience him/it, the frustration, the
    aggression to the hearing apparel and the general
    fatigue caused by the resonant pollution can
    affect the future generations.

44
 Causes of noises
45
Noise in the Streets
  • The traffic is the great cause of the noise in
    the life of the great cities. The characteristics
    of the noisy vehicles are the holed exhaust or
    rusty, the alterations in the silent or in the
    flushing pipe, the alterations in the motor and
    the bad habits when driving - accelerations and
    braked abrupt and the excessive use of horn.
  • In the main streets of the city of São Paulo, the
    noise levels reach from 88 to 104 decibels. Why
    that explains the professional drivers are the
    main objective of acquired deafness. In the
    residential areas, the noise levels vary from 60
    to 63 decibels - above the 55 established
    decibels as limit for the Municipal Law of
    Silence.

46
Noise in the Houses
  • Conditioning of air, mixers, liquidizers, floor
    polishers, vacuum cleaners, washing machine ,
    refrigerators, sound apparels and of massage,
    televisions, hair dryers and so many other
    appliances can be present in a same residence,
    working simultaneously and adding their
    undesirable decibels.

47
 Noise in the Industries
  • It is of the most important the paper of the
    industry in the resonant pollution. After the
    great first war, it was that the increase of the
    professional diseases was verified, especially
    the deafness, besides the emergence of other
    diseases, owed to the amazing development brought
    by the industrial outbreak.
  • In some European countries, like Sweden and
    Germany, where the statistical data portray the
    reality faithfully, it is impressive number
    him/it of workers that, in the industries, due to
    the noise, they are suffering audition loss.
  • Seeking the workers' of the factories protection,
    in 1977 the United States established the maximum
    noise of 90 dB for the daily duration of 8 hours.
    It was verified with the adoption of that limit,
    a fifth of the workers were subject to hearing
    deficiencies. Therefore Holland and other
    countries lowered the limit for 80 dB.

48
Noise of the Airplanes
  • The departure and the arrival of airplanes to jet
    are accompanied of noises of great intensity that
    disturb the residents of the environs excessively

49
Effects in the Man's audition
50
  • An individual's hearing capacity can be limited
    to 60. Though, for being him still capable to
    hear the own voice and certain routine noises,
    he/she doesn't worry about the deafness. The
    total loss of audition can be happened the person
    is subject daily, for 8 following hours, to
    sounds with superior intensity to 85 dB, as the
    registrars in discos factories of armaments and
    airports.
  • The noise of 140 dB can totally destroy the
    eardrum, provoking what is called "blow-out of
    the eardrum."
  • When the noise level reaches 100 dB can cause the
    "hearing trauma" and the consequent deafness. At
    the level of 120 dB, besides harming the hearing
    nerve, they provoke at least, constant buzzing in
    the ears, dizziness and increase of the
    nervousness.

51
Effects in the Health
52
a) Widespread reactions to the stress
  • The World Organization of Health (OMS) it
    considers that the beginning of the hearing
    stress if of the under exhibitions to 55 dB.

53
b) Physical reactions
  • The noises increase the blood pressure, the heart
    rhythm and the muscular contractions. They are
    capable to interrupt the digestion, the
    contractions of the stomach, the flow of the
    saliva and of the gastric juices. They provoke
    larger adrenaline production and other hormones,
    increasing, in the blood, the flow of acids and
    glucose. In what he/she refers to the intense and
    lingering noise to which the individual
    habitually is exposed, they result more durable
    physiologic changes even permanent, including
    cardiovascular disorders, of ear-nose-throat and,
    in smaller degree, sensitive alterations in the
    secretion of hormones, in the gastric functions,
    physics and cerebral.
  • In cases of chronic stress (permanent) in the
    workers, it has been verified psychological
    effects, psychological disturbances nauseas,
    migraines, irritability, emotional instability,
    reduction of the libido, anxiety, nervousness,
    hypertension, appetite loss, sleepiness,
    insomnia, prevalence increase of the it
    ulcerates, vital disturbances, I consummate of
    tranquillisers,, fatigues, productivity
    reduction, increases of the numbers of accidents,
    of medical consultations and absenteeism.

c) mental and emotional Alterations
  • The reactions in the psychic sphere depend on the
    agent's characteristics, of the middle, and of
    the emotional conditions of the host, in the
    moment of the exhibition. The reactions can show
    through irritability, anxiety, excitability,
    discomfort, fear, tension and insomnia.

Effects of the noise in plant and animals
56
  • According to the zoologists, the largest
    difficulties of adaptation of the animals to the
    captivity, elapse mainly of the artificial noise
    of the great cities.
  • On the other hand, it is proved that is at the
    places of a lot of noise more accentuated the
    presence of mice and cockroaches, potential
    agents of transmission of diseases.
  • The resonant vibrations produced by airplane
    motors provoke the change of posture of the birds
    and decrease of its productivity.

57
Radioactive pollution
58
  • Since the beginning of the atomic era, the
    hundreds of experiences with nuclear material
    have been playing enormous amounts of radioactive
    residues in the atmosphere. The drafts take
    charge of distributing this material for all of
    the areas of the Earth. With the time, the
    suspension is brought for the soil and for the
    oceans, where it will be absorbed and incorporate
    for the alive beings.
  • Besides the direct liberation of radioactive
    material, the serious problem of the nuclear
    waste exists, produced by the nuclear power
    stations, that it presents a series of
    difficulties in its storage.

59
  • Strontium-90 radioactive liberated by leaks or
    nuclear explosions can cause serious problems
    when assimilated. Once in the sanguine current,
    he is confused with the calcium (to see the
    distribution both in the periodic table) and
    absorbed for the bone fabric, where it will be
    fastened. Now being part of the bones, he emits
    his/her radiation and it will end for provoking
    serious cancerous mutations in the blood found
    in the bone marrow.

Nuclear energy
62
  • In the fifties, this type of energy came as the
    ideal eugenic solution ideal for the humanity.
    However, after several accidents, among the ones
    which the one of the plant Chernobyl (Ukraine) in
    the decade of 80, it started to be very
    questioned his/her use. The explosion risks and
    contamination are big, what turns reckless
    his/her use.
  • Several countries, like the USA, England, Japan,
    Russia and other, they used nuclear power plants.
    However, other, like Sweden, Norway and Germany,
    they have been disabling their nuclear programs
    and even disassembling plants.

63
  • The Brazilian nuclear program, from its
    implantation, was very questioned, for several
    reasons.
  • Nowadays, Brazil has a nuclear power plant in
    operation in Angra dos Reis (RJ).
