Rachel Carson's "The Obligation To Endure" - Analysis
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Rachel Carson's astute analysis of man's detrimental impact upon Earth's environment in The Obligation to Endure sheds tremendous light upon the almost involuntary way people have set out to run the world in which they live. Taking each component of her argument in a step-by-step fashion, Carson clearly illustrates the extent to which the human race has completely fallen down on its stewardship responsibility to the planet's air, water, flora and fauna.

Radon in Our Homes: Is It Responsible for Cancer?
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing indoor radon exposure as a leading cause of lung cancer. In the U.S., it is estimated that 1 out of every 15 homes has an “unacceptable” level of radon gas (higher than 4 pCi/l). Within the last 15 years, radon has been found to be the second leading cause of lung cancer within the U.S. claiming over 14,000 deaths each year. While studies are still being conducting in several countries and populations, it seems that radon is linked primarily with causing lung cancer and has not been linked with any other types of cancer at this point. This is primarily due to the fact that alpha radiation released by the radon progeny atoms which adhere to the lungs has little capacity to travel distances and therefore concentrates its damage to the lungs. While certain aspects of reducing radon exposure are still being debated, such as what can be considered “safe” levels, most scientists and state and federal health agencies agree that there is little doubt that radon is one of the leading causes of lung cancer and humans receive their radon exposure from indoor environments such as homes, school and work environments where the radon levels are considerably higher than outdoors.

Radon: A Colorless, Odorless, Tasteless Gas
[ send me this essay ]

Concludes that while there are valid and useful application of radon, it is a gas which presents a number of concerns.

Perhaps one of the most concerning aspects of radon overall, however, is its insidious infiltration into our homes and buildings. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
