The problem was that by the time that the scientist found the problem it was already very large. Detecting an acid lake is often quite difficult. A lake does not become acid over night.

.... (FAP) is very rare and only accounts for one percent of all cases. If a person had FAP, they would develop hundreds or even thousands of colon polyps. These polyps are developed at a very young age, Some people have been known to be as young as 13years of age. Most colon polyps are benign but some become cancerous. Most FAP patients develop cancer by the age of 39. Another form of hereditary cancer is Hereditary Non-Polyposis (HNPCC). HNPCC accounts for five to ten percent of all cases. HNPCC develops also at a young age but not as young as FAP patients. The actual cancer appears in the persons 40's. HNPCC is known as a "fast growing" form of cancer. Along with col ....

As a result, often the disease may not be diagnosed and treated until complications develop. Doctors estimate that, in women, one third of the s result in PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease). Often these infections are not diagnosed until PID or other complications develop. In men, rarely, s may lead ....

Environmental Issues Associated With Vehicle Use
1423 Words - 6 Pages

.... Some of the consequences are: reduced visibility; bronchitis; blocking of stomata, reducing CO2 absorption; erosion of limestone and sandstone buildings; increased susceptibility to respiratory infections; throat and eye irritation; leaf necrosis, reduced growth and growth abnormalities and drowsiness. Increasing levels of air pollution, particularly particulates from vehicles, are linked to increasing respiratory problems including asthma and this air pollution is thought to cause up to several thousand deaths and up to 20,000 hospital admissions every year. Acid rain is another serious problem, helped along with the increased usage of motor cars. The increased acidity of th ....
