Hazards are associated with planting, managing, harvesting, and burning trees for biomass.

Explanation:

Biomass, an alternative for fossil fuel, is a renewable source of carbon-based energy sourced from burning plant matter, organic or food waste, and industrial waste.

Environmental hazards

Biomass production requires large scale of plants or trees to be burnt to produce energy which in turn demands more water and pesticides and causes soil erosion. When large number of trees is cut, it leads to deforestation and increase greenhouse gas which in turn leads to global warming.

The managers who practice biomass production should successfully mitigate the environmental hazards by following sustainable measures of biomass production

Operational hazards

During the operation of biomass production, a lot of risk can happen during fuel delivery, storage, handling, and during combustion operations.

  • Mechanical risk injury from mechanical conveyors, pneumatic delivery system
  • Dust explosion from finer fuel elements
  • Explosion and fire from storing and handling biomass fuel
  • Slips and falls during operations and storage.
  • Wet side and fire side risks of using boilers.

Hence, during production, storage, handling, and delivery proper stringent risk assessment must be taken regularly by the managers and necessary protection measures should be followed to avoid risks and hazards.

For example, to avoid mechanical injuries, proper care must be taken to maintain the production equipment

Proper storage rules should be maintained and checked to see if bunkers are filled only to the optimal level and not overfilled.

How has human interaction affected the Mississippi Delta?
BaLLatris [955]

Explanation:

Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.

A polypeptide only becomes a functioning protein after it has folded into its exact 3D shape.
makkiz [27]
True. A protein becomes functional only when it reaches its tertiary shape (3D). It is not necessary for the protein to reach the quaternary stage, but that is just a more complex functioning protein. It really is just two tertiary merged together. Example is red blood cells.
