Equilibrium Review for MSCI 305
Posted: Feb 4, 2002
I have put a set of practice problems to help you review equilibrium chemistry on reserve in the library with the answer key.
I am planning on using these as examples in this week's workshops.

Radioactive waste leaking into marine sanctuary
Posted: Jan 29, 2002
SAN FRANCISCO — Over 24 years, the government and private research
agenciesdumped almost 48,000 55-gallon drums of radioactive waste just a
few miles
west of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Now that waste is leaking into the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine
Sanctuary — and no one knows how much contamination it is causing in
seafood. Federal officials say they don't have the money to determine the
extent of the damage.
Scientists have studied and mapped only 15 percent of the disposal site, and
the little they saw suggests that most of the radiation leaking from the
barrels is low-level. Still, environmentalists say more research must be
done to gauge the effect on the area's rich marine life.
"If it is getting into the food chain, what precautions are being taken?"
