A sneeze typically releases air at a velocity of around 100 miles per hour, which equates to roughly 0.01 horsepower of power. This power comes from the force generated by the release of air and mucus when sneezing.

It takes 70-450 years to decompose. And if you buy biodegradable platic it only takes 75-180 days. Wow, that is a BIG difference and that is fantastic that people actually look at this and they think about it and then they say "Save The Ozone Layer!" I bet that everyone that reads this will take the step to buy everything that is biodegradable! Thank you soooooo much for reading this an taking time out of your life!

That is a good question! As you undoubtedly know, urine is simply a filtrate of blood. As the blood goes through the nephrons of the kidney ( about 1,000,000/kidney )the blood is filtered, then some of the filtrate is reabsorbed and then materials are secreted into the urine by active transport. So basically, anything that the blood contains that is small enough to go through the pores of the capsule and capillaries will wind up in the filtrate. Some things, like glucose, are reabsorbed actively back into the blood. Water is passively reabsorbed along with some electrolytes etc. Some materials that are not found in the blood are manufactured (secreted) by the kidney tubules so that they can be excreted. These include urea and uric acid. Since the content of your blood changes due to your diet or disease, so does your urine. For example, the color varies due water content and because of beets or rhubarb in the diet. The pH gets more basic in a vegetarian's diet and some foods such as asparagus and garlic change urine's odor. In addition to these normal variations, diseases such as diabetes will greatly effect urine's composition and odor. Also, the amount of water varies due to sweating or vomiting. The body homeostatically decreases urine output in an attempt to conserve water in the body. Hence, the concentrations of solutes increase. We normally think of the kidneys as the eliminator of liquid wastes for the body, but we must realize that by doing that, they regulate our body's chemistry in a very precise manner. Without this activity, we die, or will need dialysis and/or a transplant. I hope this helps you. J. BridgerSource:http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2000-11/975372577.Gb.r.html

Tough elastic tissue in the body refers to cartilage. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that provides support and cushioning in joints, along with maintaining the structure of the nose, ears, and trachea. It is firm yet bendable, allowing for smooth movement and protection of bones.

Number one:

If you are RH- and your baby RH+, and your blood mixes with your baby's, it could become sensitized. Your body could begin producing antibodies to the RH+ blood. If these antibodies get to an unborn baby, they can begin killing off the baby's red blood cells. This is called RH disease. It is rare for it to affect a first baby, but if the mother becomes sensitized and produces antibodies to RH+ blood, it could cause problems for future babies. RH disease is very serious; however, recent medical advances allow 90% of babies with RH disease to survive (March of Dimes).

Harmful sound of electricity.The sound you hear is electricity. Everything that uses electricity also emits a sound, like your computer monitor, T.V. , telephones and telephone lines. In other words anything plugged into an working outlet. Some people cannot hear it. The sound from a PC monitor or T.V. would be around 30kHz or 20kHz.

The phone company dug a huge trench next to my house and was putting in new box and lines. My son who is autistic started screaming an covering his ears. Not uncommon for people with autism, but it was not out of discontent it was because he was in pain. I learned by talking to young adults with autism why he might be doing this. They explained to me about the sound electricity makes. I downloaded a tone generator to better understand. I couldn't even hear a tone at 30kHz but I will tell you that a tone at 20kHz is extremely painful. Imagine a pressurized room or sound booth. Enormous pressure. I had a terrible head ache for about 5 hours after hearing it. Is it harmful? It can be painful. Can it cause permanent damage? I'm not sure. I would suggest talking to a Audiologist.

IN ADDITION:HMMM. Not sure of the previous comment, but...The overhead power lines buzz because of the power running through the lines are searching for a ground source. The increase of moisture or humidity in the air will make it more static and buzz louder.

In reference to the second part, there was a claim that the electromagnetic field generated by the lines had an effect on the development of people, especially children. It was thought that leukemia was increased by the overhead lines. In 1979, scientists did a study on this and found that it had no effect. Later on, they found out that the oil based transformers mounted on poles emitted small doses of radiation but still not enough to be harmful. The problem that the transformers had was mainly from leaking dielectric fluids (which were toxic).

Oxiclean is toxic and should never be ingested. The primary active ingredients in Oxiclean are sodium carbonate which is caustic, sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate which can cause eye irritation and irritation to the gastrointestinal system if ingested, and ethoxylated alcohol C12-C16 which can cause intestinal problems and is derived from a substance classified as a human carcinogen and reproductive hazard.

Bacteria dislike high concentrations of salt. There will be an osmotic imbalance. Water will escape the bactrim and enter the saline solution killing the bacteria. Has to be high levels of salt though.

Carbon dioxide is a simple asphyxiant, which means it affects your health only by displacing oxygen. The only way carbon dioxide can kill you is by decreasing the oxygen your body takes in. Our brains especially need a good flow of oxygen since it is the control center of our life. In other words, carbon dioxide doesn't hurt you, but the lack of oxygen does.

The level of total dissolved solids in water does affect chlorine disinfection. That's why there is a recommended specification for the level of total dissolved solids in water for the water that is sent to homes.

Drinking bleach can cause severe irritation and damage to the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach. It can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and difficulty breathing. Ingesting bleach can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.

Algae can grow in a bottle refilled with purified water if there are nutrients or contaminants present in the water that support algae growth. Any exposure to light and warmth can also contribute to algae growth in a bottle. To prevent algae growth, ensure that the bottle is thoroughly cleaned and stored in a cool, dark place.

Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. Let coffee and tea and soft drinks alone. Take your antibiotics at the same time daily so that they remain in your system. Get some rest. May need something for that fever if you have one.

Yes, toilet paper is designed to break down and dissolve in water to prevent clogging in plumbing systems. This is why it is safe to flush down the toilet.

Because for oxidation to take place the electrons lost by the substance that is oxidized must be accepted by atoms or ions of another substance.

Also, for reduction to occur the electrons gained by the substance that is being reduced must be transferred from the atoms of ions of another substance.

Therefore, oxidation and reduction are complementary processes: that is to say that oxidation cannot occur without reduction and visa versus.

When you blow your nose, the speed of snot can vary depending on factors such as the force of the exhale and the viscosity of the mucus. In general, it is not moving at a high speed, likely only a few feet per second.

The primary force that moves the blood is the heart. The heart contracts and pumps blood into and out of the heart and into veins or arteries. There is a difference between the two, i suggest looking up these differences. This pumping allows you to have a pulse and thus, live. The primary force that moves the blood is the heart.

For carrying a conscious victim over a significant distance, a fireman's carry or a two-person support method (where one person supports the upper body and the other supports the legs) would be preferred to conserve energy and provide stability. It's important to continuously assess the victim's condition and communicate with them to ensure they are comfortable during the carry.

The amount of blood pumped per heartbeat is called stroke volume, which is typically around 70 milliliters for a resting adult. This volume can vary based on factors like age, fitness level, and overall health.

Common side effects of household insecticides on human health include skin irritation, eye irritation, respiratory problems (such as coughing or difficulty breathing), and headache. Prolonged exposure or misuse of insecticides can potentially lead to more serious health issues such as neurological effects or organ damage. It is important to follow safety guidelines and use insecticides in a well-ventilated area to minimize health risks.
