Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine the effects of ridgetop fuelbreaks (created by altering vegetation on the ridgetop) on the spread of wildfires, in a forested stand, on moderat…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals The objective of my experiment is to determine if the oil degrading activity of Pseudomonas bacteria can be enhanced by the introduction of ammoniated bagasse in an acquatic…
Environmental Engineering
Methods/Materials I tested to see if growing Zinc absorbent plants is effective at reducing the large quantities of Zinc in the soil. My two treatment plants were Thlaspi and spinach and I h…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to observe the effect of Eichhornia crasspies and Cabomba caroliniana on algae growth as well as pH, nitrite, and phosphate levels in the…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals As no specific method of ozone prediction previously existed, we wanted to create one for use on high ozone days so it could be determined which hours of the day were safer…

Objectives/Goals The Goal of my project is to properly remove and dispose of the Toxic chemical Malathion from my filter Media. Methods/Materials Remove the Malathion trapped inside my filte…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals I believe that medium textured human hair will adsorb the most oil because it is not too coarse, but not too fine and thin. Methods/Materials First I collected different typ…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals The objective is to explore the most cost effective, portable, box style solar oven that could be used in underdeveloped countries to pasteurize water or sterilize food. My…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals Madrona Marsh, a vernal marsh in Torrance, California, has occasionally altered water quality in which there are raised levels of several nitrogen compounds. A possible solu…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my project was to see if injecting air cleans the algae in pond water. I predicted that injecting air into pond water would reduce the amount of algae. Method…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether the natural purification action of a wetlands ecosystem causes a measurable improvement in the water quality. Water q…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals In this project I attempted to remove nitrites from water by designing a biological filter that would be able to oxidize nitrites into nitrates. The purpose of this project…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals THIS EXPERIMENT STUDIED THE QUESTION OF WHICH MICROORGANISM, MOLD OR BACTERIA WOULD DO BETTER IN THE BIOREMEDIATION PROCESS, BY REDUCING, ELIMINATING OR CONTAINING CONTAMINA…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals By performing this experiment, I hoped to find out in what types of environments wheat-based and corn-based biodegradable plastic spoons might or might not decompose. I also…
