However for all of man's research, and achievements, sometimes nature still comes out on top in terms of who has the best "technology".</div><div class="infuse"><br />
</div><div class="infuse">A recently released study has found that Blue Whales which are the largest animals ever to live, could very well also be the most efficient animals ever. By using a method called Filter-Feeding, the Blue Whale can take in more than 90 times more energy than it uses. </div><div class="infuse"> </div><div class="infuse">These truly gigantic animals, (at over 33 metres (108 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons)<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><span> </span></sup>or more in weight), dive up to 500 meters beneath the surface, then lunge into the swarms of tiny Krill (A type of Shrimp) above them at several meters per second. With their large mouths open they are able to catch large amount of the tiny Crustaceans. As they strike, their massive mouths fill with huge volumes of water, including plenty of Krill. The water is then pushed out through large filters, called Baleen, in the Whale's mouth, trapping the Krill.</div><div class="infuse"> </div><div class="infuse">But recently a team of scientists lead by Robert Shadwick of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and Jeremy Goldbogen of the University of California, San Diego wondered how such a feeding process could be energy efficient. This feeding technique takes a lot of effort due to the energy needed for the lunges. "We wondered how they coped," says Robert Shadwick. They led a team who set out to track blue whales as they fed. In small boats they zoomed up alongside surfacing whales and attached tracking devices to them using suction caps.</div><br />
<b>How Energy Efficient?</b><br />
<br />
The team followed 265 Blue Whales over the course of 200 foraging dives and 654 lunges. Based on the data they collected, the team estimated that the Whales expend about 3200 kilojoules of energy (About 13.3 million calories) with each dive. This astronomical number at first seems quite high, but it is drawfted when you consider how much energy the Whales get from their food. Using data on known Krill densities, the team estimates that with each lunge, the Whales collected between 34,000 (142,256,000 Calories) and 1,912,000 kJ (7,999,808,000 Calories) – up to 237 times the energy used. That is an efficiency factor of nearly 237 times more energy received than expended. Even when taking into account the dives, the Whales still netted nearly 90 times more energy. <br />

</tbody></table>Shadwick went on to explain how during the course of the Whales migratory lifestyle this great efficiency is needed when the Whales have to deal with seasonal starvation. <br />
<br />
<div class="df-gist-content"> All of this is thanks to the Blue Whale has Baleen, or Whalebone, in place of teeth. These narrow vertical plates, which hang inside the mouth cavity, are fringed on the inner edges to trap the Krill engulfed by the whale in a mouthful of water. It is easy to see why these are being called "Natures most efficient Filters".<br />
<br />
So next time you think your Filtration system is world class, just remember that you have a long way to go, before you can match efficiency with natures Blue Whale. </div><div class="infuse"><br />

Dirty diesel-burning vehicles are normally guilty of polluting the air with black carbon soot, dark-colored particles that kill and cripple, and cause climate change.<br />
<br />
“A leading cause of respiratory diseases, soot is responsible for some 1.9 million deaths a year,” notes paper co-author, Professor V. Ramanathan, in a recent opinion piece published in the New York Times. California’s regulations have cut black carbon emissions from the state in half, providing a direct positive effect on local and regional air quality.<br />
<br />
Black carbon is a formidable climate warming agent, estimated to be the second or third greatest contributor to global warming. While in the atmosphere, the dark particles absorb heat and contribute to global temperature rise. After a few days to a few weeks, the dark particles fall out of the atmosphere and can settle on snow and ice where they darken the surface and absorb more heat, leading to accelerated melting.<br />
<br />
“As this study shows, the technology already exists to solve the black carbon problem,” said Durwood Zaelke, President of the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development. “Because black carbon is short-lived in the atmosphere, reducing it provides fast benefits for public health and climate change.”<br />
<br />
In addition to improving diesel vehicles, cleaner burning cook stoves can reduce black carbon in countries such as India, China, and much of Africa. Prof. Ramanathan, along with his daughter, Nithya Ramanathan, both at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, launched Project Surya several years ago to bring improved cookstoves to Indian villages. The Project Surya team works with local women to collect data on black carbon by providing them with cell phones to take photos of black carbon filters.<br />
<br />
“We know how to cut black carbon; we have the solutions,” added Zaelke. “Getting rid of black carbon can avoid millions of deaths and incapacitating injuries a year. Whether you view the issue from a public health or climate change perspective – we need to take fast action now to cut black carbon.”<br />

CCS technologies allow for the large stationary emitters of CO2 such as coal burning power plants, to collect large amounts of Carbon emissions created during the course of burning fossil fuels, and sequester them underground in large geologic formations. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZsX-CQwGBJkRHOX-k0ZJ9wESIX5vLQXqu6hcoXiMIjWbvH6CHC-PROmjuOciyZWWed_eK3J_-SOIc9r66OJHcjCOdtRc4Ehwek6IJiOhrvgXO14Z31YgEr3_SJaqNsnD7zedachA6M6S/s1600/carbon-capture-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZsX-CQwGBJkRHOX-k0ZJ9wESIX5vLQXqu6hcoXiMIjWbvH6CHC-PROmjuOciyZWWed_eK3J_-SOIc9r66OJHcjCOdtRc4Ehwek6IJiOhrvgXO14Z31YgEr3_SJaqNsnD7zedachA6M6S/s320/carbon-capture-5.jpg" width="320" /></a>These two new rules deal with the potential effects of CCS operations on drinking water reserves, and for methods of tracking the amount of Carbon these facilities are sequestering underground. Ground water resources are now protected by a new class of injection well termed Class VI under the EPA’s Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program. It ensures that potential sequestion sites are located properly, constructed, tested, monitored, and closed. The second new regulation deals with the way that EPA tracks Carbon sequestering with regard to its greenhouse emissions tracking program. <br />
<br />
The new rules are part of a larger effort by the Obama administration to overcoming the barriers to the widespread, cost-effective deployment of CCS technologies within the next 10 years. EPA chief Linda Jackson is quoted as saying: “Today the Obama Administration reaffirmed its commitment to leading the way in the clean energy future. We’re taking a major step towards path breaking innovations that will reduce greenhouse gases and put America in the forefront of the clean energy economy,”<br />

This video at just under 30 min in length is designed to serve as a training resource for use in industries that face the dangers of Industrial Dust Explosions. It focuses on what lessons can be learned from several different CBS investigations into Dust Explosion incidents. Containing interviews with CSB investigators, and victims family members, the video demonstrate how Dust Explosions are a very real danger that are part of wide range of industrial processes. <br />
<br />
The TIVA award was presented before an audience of hundreds of regional video and media professionals. Following the awards ceremony, CSB Managing Director Daniel Horowitz said, “This important recognition of our work speaks to the continuing impact of the CSB's thorough, scientific, independent investigations and the commitment of our staff and Board members to state-of-the-art communication of safety information.” <br />
<br />
Dr. Horowitz continued, “It is the mission of the CSB to disseminate lessons learned from chemical and industrial accidents and to prevent similar tragedies in the future; the CSB’s video program has distributed hundreds of thousands of DVDs to industry leaders, workers, and communities around the world to increase their knowledge of chemical hazards and apply the lessons to their real world situations.”<br />

The report highlights several discouraging fact about the state of air quality in the United States. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-aH3LMvtMxZQNBhUDbzfW3HaaoFpz7uwZDLbSzlPc7Oz8flRdK4VzngK6mK6jT4_pjp2COHglr0vbDxAgkMr0TT-v41KO1uwelB84Bt46nHXYDxPmKmenCPDEtbPp2Qog9Gpw23qI6HBq/s1600/phoenix_smog.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-aH3LMvtMxZQNBhUDbzfW3HaaoFpz7uwZDLbSzlPc7Oz8flRdK4VzngK6mK6jT4_pjp2COHglr0vbDxAgkMr0TT-v41KO1uwelB84Bt46nHXYDxPmKmenCPDEtbPp2Qog9Gpw23qI6HBq/s320/phoenix_smog.png" width="320" /></a></div>Among the findings is that 7 of the top 10 cities on the list, are in the state of California. Including the top 5 spots. They are 1. Bakersfield, 2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside, 3. Fresno-Madera, 4. Visalia-Porterville, 5. Hanford-Corcoran. This is surely bad news for the 20 million people in these cities are at higher risk of asthma and chronic bronchitis because of pollution.<br />
<br />
Overall the the worst area for pollution in the country rest in California's San Joaquin Valley. One study is found that the air quality in this area is so poor, that it can damage the lungs in the same way cigarettes do. In this area you find a near "Perfect Storm"of factors that contribute to the low air quality. With extensive farming, and industry, California's oil industry (In Bakersfield), car culture and topography all collide to trap pollutants leading to the formation of smog. <br />
<br />
But California's coastal areas are also facing heavily polluted air. <br />
<br />
The largest percentage of Californians live and work in near the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Riverside area, which ranked second-worst overall and worst in ozone pollution. Aside from millions of cars on the roads, the area also suffers the effects of the nation's busiest port. Researchers at the University of Calgary found in 2008 that salty coastal air mixed with sunshine and pollutants helps create unexpectedly high levels of ground-level ozone.<br />
<br />
The State is attempting to remedy the situation by enacting some of the country's most stringent emission standards. This however has lead to some controversy as several pieces of legislation aimed at tightening emission standards for industry recently have met with opposition.<br />
<br />
One in particular, even leading to a statewide ballot initiative. Proposition 23, which would have temporarily suspended key emissions-reduction tenets in the Golden State's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. One the one side you had the biggest backers of Prop 23 were Texas-based oil companies like Tesoro and Valero Energy and Koch Industries, all of which have operations in California. Valero, for its part, put up $5 million for a media campaign attempting to convince California that the Global Warming Solutions Act is a job-killer, claiming the prop. would further increase the already high 12.4% unemployment rate in the state. As did truck drivers who whose trucks' diesel engines contribute large amount of particulate matter and other pollutants into air while hauling loads to and from the Port of Long Beach.<br />
<br />
Since the the proposition failed to pass (62% of voters rejected Prop 23) the emissions cuts are now set to begin in 2012. A carbon cap-and-trade program will be launched later. The goal is that, in eight years, California will have greenhouse gas emissions 15% lower than they are now. Refiners will have to pick up the tab for the pollution control technology improvements at their plants and supplier even cleaner fuels for automobile use than currently mandated in California. <br />
<br />
Valero, which owns two refineries in the state and employs 1,600 workers there, will be able to pass on some of these costs to motorists, but higher fuel prices will almost certainly mean less demand for fuel. Cars are thought to be responsible for as much as 30% of California's greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the American Lung Association says that truck drivers, dock workers and railroad workers who inhale diesel exhaust are much more likely to die from lung cancer and heart disease than the general population.<br />

<br />
One the most under valued parts of any worker's PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is <b>Personal Hearing Protection</b>. Usually, consisting of earplugs or noise canceling headphones, this kind of equipment is very often the first PPE to be removed or disregarded by personal in hazardous conditions. Often the cause of this, it that personal fail to appreciate just how loud their current environment is, and how dangerous the noise level there is. <br />
<br />
With 3M's newest product, the 3M NI-100EU Noise Indicator, 3M has added another impressive offering to its <i>passive hearing conservation range</i> line of products. This new model, offers a quick guide to potential noise hazard levels, by identifying areas where hearing protection may need to be worn. Many of the industrial settings where <b>industrial filtration</b> takes place, such as at <i>Cement plants, Steel Foundries, Waste Water Treatment Plants</i>, etc...are perfect examples of settings that contain <b>noise hazards. </b><br />
<br />
Employing an LED lighting system, it flashes green when ambient noise levels are below 85db (Considered safe) and red for levels above 85db (The standard level where protective equipment must be used). <br />
<br />
Small and compact, this product is useful to workers in countless diverse industries, where noise hazards may exist. It has a rechargeable battery that operates for up to 200 hours between charges and an automatic turn-off system.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337020022642972984.post-90922406258097843602010-11-04T16:21:00.000-07:002010-11-04T16:21:58.467-07:00Donaldson Company To Focus On Growth In Liquid FiltrationDonaldson Company, one of the largest players in the Industrial Filtration industry, announced this past week that it is making a number of strategic organizational changes to gain a larger share of the global Liquid Filtration market.

The largest contributor to that polluted air is by far fly ash, a residue generated by the combustion of coal, which is China’s single biggest source of solid industrial waste and, one of its gravest problems.<br /><br /><br />The purpose of this article is to draw attention to how much is being done in the development and implementation of Clean Coal technologies. With these emerging technologies it may be possible to prevent more situations like the one mention above from happening again elsewhere. An examination of how the use of Coal as a fuel affects the environment, what the term Clean Coal technology really means, what Clean Coal techniques are being developed, and put into use today, and why it is so important for the health of both our planet, and the general population...<br /><br /><br />To read more about<a href="http://www.qfilter.com/res/Clean-Coal-Technology-Why-We-Need-It-So-When-Will-We-Have-It/detail/128"> Clean Coal technologies</a>, click here.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337020022642972984.post-82538091730645168162010-10-25T16:15:00.000-07:002010-10-25T16:22:01.890-07:00New Article in the QFilter.com Resources Section Discusses The Growing Need for Pollution Control in IndiaHere is an excerpt from the latest article posted to the<a href="http://www.qfilter.com"> QFilter.com</a> <a href="http://www.qfilter.com/Resource">Resources Section</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.qfilter.com/res/India%E2%80%99s-Booming-Economy,-and-It%E2%80%99s-Vital-Need-For-Pollution-Control-Technology/detail/125"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">India’s Booming Economy, and It’s Vital Need For Pollution Control Technology</span></a><br /><br /><br />By Gilda Martinez<br />Staff Writer QFilter.com<br /><br />The rapid economic growth and industrialization in many developing countries is calling for a sustainable management of the natural resources.
