Long Term Affects Of Fas
Words: 764 - Pages: 3.... Children who display only some of these effects are claimed to have FAE, or fetal alcohol effects. The sad thing is that most infants and children who suffer from fetal alcohol effects go unnoticed. They are looked upon as having behavioral problems.

ACID RAIN

the early 1990s tens of thousands of lakes had been destroyed by acid rain. The
problem has been most severe in Norway, Sweden, and Canada.
The threat posed by acid rain is not limited by geographic boundaries, for
prevailing winds carry the pollutants around the globe. For example, much
research supports the conclusion that pollution from coal-powered electric
generating stations in the midwestern United States is the ultimate cause of the
severe acid-rain problem in eastern Canada and the northeastern United States.
Nor are the destructive effects of acid rain limited to the natural environment.

After a nerve impulse has been sent across a synapse, special enzymes clear away the neurotransmitter so that another impulse may be sent.
