Recycled Lubricant Oil

Hi..

When you are servicing your vehicle, have you see the mechanic take a small vacuum pump to suck the oil engine? Where they actually place the used lubricant oil? Is that place in a drum, or dump it easily? All that question or more should play in our mind..

If you search on wikipedia, it mention about the function of lubricant oil and it can be summarize as follow:
1) Is an oil used for lubrication of various internal combustion engine
2) Motor oil also cleans
3) inhibits corrosion
4) improves sealing
5)Cool the engine by carrying heat away from the moving parts.

Most of engine oil are produce from derived petroleum which contain of hydrocarbon.

Us EPA has define engine oil must be managed under hazardous waste when it is disposed of. So that, by spilling it to the environment, it can pose threat to us.

Have you heard about additives that have been used to the used engine oil? For your knowledge, the additives is meant for changing the value of it viscosity so that, it suit to standard lubricating oil. The value that determine by SAE for good lubricating oil is between 40 to 400 according to their Viscosity Index.

By inventing additives for lubricant oil, we should make money and actually we are saving our environment.

But if no additives will used, we will damage our engine, and damage our air by releasing excessive smoke, and you know what is inside the smoke.

GM food

It sound technologies, but many people are worried about the upcoming impact.

For those who are new, GM is stand for "Genetic Modified" where the food engineering

technologies is heavy debated in West. GM food were in the market in 1990 where the genetic of

tomato's were modified to stand rot. It's sound good.

After that, the soybean plant were announced succeed in its genetic modification which the plant

able to stand pesticed. People who in "mass balance" came to woried because a question is

actually appeared "where the poison goes?".

For me the plant is actually still holding certain amount of poison, but the only thing is that, the

modified plant had increase its retention time or maybe increase its poison storage.

From my point of view, the food technologies is good only in certain term. For an example, rice

were found rich in betacarotine is good. It will decrease daily cost of buying food because

term"richness of health" in one food is appeared.

The researchers of food technologies have intrested to this area because, they assumed that food

crisis can be solved in future. The pricipal were very easy, "less disease to plant, more food can

be generated and stored" but for me it is some time will go wrong if the technology disobey

human of nature.

Cancer and Air Pollution.

When I pass by GAB (Guinness Anchor Berhad) at Jalan Kelang Lama (when I was on the way to
my workplace), I just smell an unusual odor that release from the facotry. It smell bad, and I

just wonder how they tackle public complaint which raise from the resident. (Because my

branch work is to handle this kind of problem, and it is difficult instead).

I heard from some sources that the GAB supporting the environment NGO in PJ.

At the same time, I also thinking effects of air release from the factory to people and

environment.

A lot of thing which determine by expert may cause cancer problem such as below:

1. Growing older
2. Tobacco
3. Sunlight
4. Ionizing radiation
5. Certain chemicals and other substances
6. Some viruses and bacteria
7. Certain hormones
8. Family history of cancer
9. Alcohol
10. Poor diet, lack of physical activity, or being overweight

And air pollution is actually more related to lung cancer. People who lives in industrial area is

actaully having more potential to it. A study which made around England and Wales concluded

that getting lung cancer is about one and a half times greater for people living in industrial

areas compared to those living in the country.

And when compared to those who breath around beer factory and those who taking it as a

drink, smell it is only categorised as RISK. While taking alcohol as a drink, there is big

potential to lung cancer instead. Although, alcohols is a part of vaporise substances, expert say

it is very minimal and surely not as a major causes when it is came into breath.

Of course I feel better to know about it (because that is only route that I have to pass by

everyday), but how the company tackled public complaint is a big question mark. The factory

just situated less than 30 meter from residential area.

Klang Valley Water Pollution

Based on the article which refer to Klang Valley water pollution. we believe that, the

management of development and urbanization is actually very important.

It is important in water management to ensure for health to human and environment. There are

two categories for water pollution sources as listed as below:

1. Point sources

2. Non-point sources

Point source is refer to sources that can define the starting point such as from sewage treatment

plant (STP), effluent from factory, from toilet and etc.

Non-point sources is refer to pollution which release to water without knowing the sharp point

such as surface water runoff, rainwater and etc.

Pollution of water is actually define that the incoming water is contain with excess chemical

constituent such as pesticides, ammonia, spilled carbon petroleum, detergent, fertilizers, organic

matter and etc. Rain which carry sulfur dioxide or nitrogen dioxide also may cause water

pollution.

Instead of chemical release, water pollution also may generated from discharge of heated water

especially industrial process or power stations.

The contamination may harmful to aquatic life and furthermore will destroy the aquifier. Many

of the chemical substances are toxic or even carcinogenic.

Many of the municipal water supplies in developed countries can present health risks. That is

why, proper management of water may save a lot of thing.

There is no other way for water manager at water treatment plant if the water sources has been

polluted except to shut down the plant. They have to ensure the action to be taken to makesure,

there is no unwanted incident will happen to community health.

Every organazation which related to water management must realise that, every discharge to

upstream river must be well treated. They have to follow standard quality effluent which is

earlier regulated by DOE.

Although, there is a regulation behind that, some of incident such as bund broke (refer to landill

leachate release from Semenyih landfill) were likely define as unexpected incident. As the

consequences, there must be a plan to response to this kind of pollution. Idea must be raised

such as to relocated the landfill to downstream area, and it must be planned earlier.

My Comment to Illegal Hunting

Illegal hunting is one of the worst issues in environmental field. I have read a news, published in

the site, which reporting unresolved(illegal hunting) cases around them.

A question appears why they do hunt in? They know that the meat always available in market,

even the bullet is more expensive compared to the meat itself! A good reason in itself:

1) Hunted meat is lean, healthy, and free from additives

2) It provides exercise and time in the outdoors, away from work pressures.

Yes, we understand that there are benefits of doing that, but do we accept the illegal hunting?

Some say, “Life feeds on Life, and Life gives Life to Life”. Yes them saying the truth. But illegal

hunting can cause uncontrolled demolishing of the natural ecosystem. Are the illegal hunters

always doing it for food or for monthly activities? For me, the answer is No! They do it for

money. It is just like stealing car and sells it cheap.

Because of the pro and contra, many countries are regulating about it. The hunter need a permit

before continue the activities. They have to declare their gun and bullet, how many they have, and

again to declare their yields, so that the authorities able to control the population of the animals

in the forest (perhaps).

Unfortunately, the seeding of the demolished animal, are seen very less because it is not

that many of body or NGO compared to the hunters itself, to do the rehabilitation work. The

correct authorities or government body need to brain wash, to encourage their citizen to take

part of the rehabilitation work by giving incentive, such as tax’s reduction or any special

treatment for doing good in order to balance the effect of illegal hunting.

My suggestion is that, every hunter must have their own centre for animal rehabilitation (feed

animal food with natural thing not sintetic to prevent additive, so that they will understand the

value are) and they have to replace back the hunt death with a reasonable number. If not,

stopped the hunting, don’t issued any permit and big fined for them.

Picture of Me

To Survive somebody have to hunt and kill....,
