how is wood dust important in todays society/technology?

I would think plywood is the number one use. Some other uses come from the source below: "Wood dust is used to prepare charcoal, as an absorbent for nitroglycerin, as a filler in\nplastics, and in linoleum and paperboard (NTP 2001). Another commercial use for wood\ndust is in wood composts (Weber et al. 1993). "

What "modern technology" are you considering living\nwithout?\n\nIt's mostly a volunteer situation, so if you don't like\n"modern medicine", feel free to live with disease and\ninjury.  If you don't like the increased business\nproductivity from computers, run your company with paper\nand pencil.  If you don't like the efficiencies of modern\nautomobiles, ride a bicycle (but avoid the current\nhigh-tech, high-efficiency, low-weight models and stick\nwith something pre-dating "modern technology").  If you\ndon't like being able to stay in touch with your teenager,\ndon't get a cellphone (and then wait and wonder when they\nare late coming home).\n\n\nTechnology isn't an unqualified advantage, but it provides\nus with options that weren't there before.  Anti-statins\nhelp us live longer, telecommunications allow us to work\nwithout travel, and ipods give us music entertainment in\nsituations where our old record players just weren't\nconvenient.  There are people who still walk to work and\nread books at night, so you often (usually?) have a choice\nabout taking advantage of new technology.  I think that as\na society we have answered your question.  We choose to\npay for and use the technology, so it seems pretty obvious\nthat we prefer having it to not having it.

It is important because of the enviroment. The animals, the air quality all need to be very clean. If an area doesnt stay clean, the enviroment will become nasty

communication and transportation\nare very important to the economy.\n\nwith the coming of many high technological advancements\ncelphones, cars, railroad, ships, airplanes were built; that grately contribute to the otherwise long ago more time consuming, stressful, prone to misunderstanding type of caravan, or any other trade routes kind of business transactins/shipments.\n\nTraffic lights, to lessen traffic, to bring about order, in a society that needs, that yearns, that only understands, order, ergo to rely upon civilization for a promise of a future generation.\n\nRailroads, my friend, are for better shipments. In this world of capitalization, open market, and unfair circumstances. There are still those places that can't be reached by airplanes or don't exactly have roads but bumpy extremely bumpy pebbled version of a road; but only have railroads as the wisest and fastest form of transfering business commodities.  You know what they say, "the faster the better."

I know technology isn't healthy for the environment. Just look at batteries that power all the little gadgets people have. They're disposed of, but they create toxic waste.\nOr, computer chip makers. I used to deliver to Intel & other companies some pretty toxic gases used to make computer chips & other things.  \nMotorized vehicles spew pollution into the air. Pesticides & herbicides are in the waterways due to rain run-off.\n\nAs for our health?  Drugs are created to help us all live longer, but for what purpose?  I'm not saying we need to live in the dark ages, but back in the 40s-70s people died of "natural causes" which was probably all the stuff they know about now like, high cholesteral, and blocked arteries, etc.  Give me a "natural cause" death, because I'm sure not going to take a bunch of pills everyday in the hopes I'll live a little longer.\n\np.s. March 24: nuclear power; check out how long the waste product is radioactive, and it's still being put in the ground. Granted, it's it barrels, but what would happen if an earthquake hit where some of the barrels are stored?  I've always advocated for shipping that stuff to outer space.

how about the use of plastics in society.

Pro: There are lots of trees.  You can get lots of wood.\n\nCon: There aren't many people to cut trees or who need wood.  You'll have fewer trees.

My vote would have to go to the lack of "sound pollution", the brother of "light pollution".\n\nFor instance, after midnight, most people are tucked into bed and, therefore, no one is awake to make noise. So in essence, those floor boards creak all the time while the house is settling, but you only hear it when there is no other "extra" noise.\n\nOr you could have ghosts! Hope this helps! :O

There has been pollution in various forms ever since humans formed communities eons ago.  We actually have very clean conditions today compared with the last several hundred years, during which major cities were famous for having raw sewage in their gutters.  Nonetheless, the KINDS of pollution have changed, and now we have to battle chemicals and heavy metals in our air and water, as well as biohazardous material with half-lives of tens of thousands of years.\n\nSo, you need to figure out your thesis for your homework assignment.  You should visit your local library and ask the reference librarian to help you figure out what your question really is and to help you find some material to answer your question.\n\nGood luck.

Blessing.  Certainly there are problems to solve, but those problems will be solved by further technology, not by banning what we already have.  \n\nIt would be possible to provide a long list of the benefits of technology in the modern world, but I will cite a single example:  modern communication technology allows me, a complete stranger, to answer your question.  We never had anything in the past like the information tool we have now in the internet.  No matter how good a library one had available, it would still take a lot of time and know-how to research every question.  Now, it's all here at your fingertips.\n\nAsk any modern physician how many of his patients would have been worse off ten years ago, let alone fifty.  Ask any research scientist what has happened in his field as a result of modern technology.  The world does not stand still, and we cannot make it do so.\n\nRemember, nothing is an unmixed blessing.  Certainly the internet brings its own problems, but so did the technology of the crossbow!

These have become necessary aspects of our modern lives, to access the resources necessary to fulfill the needs of modern civilization.  We are now capable, though, in producing synthetics to take the place of many aspects of mining and logging, and we are also capable of much cleaner, environmentally friendly access to resources, such as re-planting, minimally invasive mining, etc.  Good stewardship of resources is essential for continued growth and sustainable resources for our future.

All the studies I have heard on this have been either negative or inconclusive.  Many years ago at University people were hypothesising about electronic 'smog' but the debate never really got anywhere.\n\nI can't rule out that the growth of electronic devices has created a higher level of this smog and that, since our synapses work on electrical signals, this can't be a problem.  I still await any conclusive research.

One must use a nonpolar substance to clean the nonpolar substances such as oil or grease. Ash is composed of nonpolar molecules ca[pable of cleaning nonpolar dirt. I think it's a good reason

Hello Friend! \n To protect our world, environmental education is necessary.

Particles of dust are everywhere. As long as there is air to breath, there will be dust particles. And those dust particles can and will get anywhere, including on your stuff. As to what to do about it, I don't really know.

Clean it with canned air. There is not much you can do to prevent the dust unless you meticulously clean your room every day

Environment pollution is pollution of water, air, soil, noise, light , visual and radio active .\n\n Pollution is the release of chemical, physical, biological or radioactive contaminants to the environment. Principal forms of pollution include: air , water....\nAir pollution is a broad term applied to any chemical, physical (e.g. particulate matter), or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a complex, dynamic natural system that is essential to support life on planet earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the earth's ecosystems.\n\nWorldwide air pollution is responsible for large numbers of deaths and cases of respiratory disease. Setting of air quality standards, such as the U.S. Clean Air Act, has begun to improve air quality for some pollutants. While major stationary sources are often identified with air pollution, the greatest source of emissions are actually mobile sources, principally the automobile. There are many available air pollution control technologies and urban planning strategies available to reduce air pollution; however, worldwide costs of addressing this issue are high. The most immediately available method of improving air quality is adoption of greater use of ethanol fuel (and other bio fuels) and increased reliance upon hybrid vehicle technology.\n\nYou can check out more your self.\nAir pollution :
