>Rainforests: Way More Than Just Monkeys And Parrots Ethan Pocic Hat , Part 1 Posted by nick_niesen on October 29th, 2010
Rainforests are the dynamic engine of the Earth's biosphere; they fix carbon from the atmosphere, and the aspiration of plants in the rain forests produce nearly 10% of the oxygen we need to live (over 70% of the oxygen is generated by algae and plankton on the world's oceans). They act as filters, pulling pollutants out of the air and fixing minerals into the soil, and help stem the tide of soil erosion; they are dynamic, and vividly alive, and critical to the life expectancy of our planet.
The biological diversity of tropical rain forests is staggering. Of the roughly 1.9 million named land species native to planet earth, over two thirds of them are found in tropical rain forests, ranging from Asia to South America to Africa Will Dissly Hat , and places in between. 95% of the beneficial plants and plant compounds used for medicine, cosmetics and more are found in tropical rain forests, and this diversity is one of the great treasures of the world.
And it's being lost, and lost rapidly, due to development and encroachment by urban areas. 30 years ago, rain forests covered 14% of the land area of the earth. It's now under 6% and shrinking rapidly. At the current rate of deforestation, the last rain forest could be cut down by the 2040s.
There are several layers of impact to the loss of rainforest terrain and biomes. The first is simply conservation ? when the last member of an animal species dies, that species has gone extinct. There is a strong emotional appeal to preserving wildlife, preserving wild lands Rashaad Penny Hat , is very important to people. The second is climactic. Developing rain forest into cattle lands or crop lands leads to desertification, because of the shift in rainfall patterns and the fact that rainforest ecosystems keep most of the nutrients in plants, rather than the soil. The last impact is economic and medical; the rainforests are reservoirs of ecological diversity, and potentially domesticable plants and animals. Major research goes into finding plants and plant compounds that are tied to medical advances and present in plants and animals in the rainforest.
The application of new raw materials in cosmetics Marketing Articles | February 24, 2012
In the 21st century, cosmetics raw materials in China will introduce four kinds of new materials: genetically modified raw materials, marine raw materials, chitin and chitosan, green materials Kam Chancellor Hat , and microbial raw materials.
Genetic tretinoin raw material is the most potential in the current gene technology and genetic research, but also the most mature application of raw materials. Applications in medicine, insulin, interferon, interleukin, a variety of cytokines are mostly generic drugs, spray and the first in the field of cosmetics and have been known as interleukin-alkaline fiber growth factor belonging to the beauty genes or beauty factor. Recently, the human growth hormone is also very interested in it can promote the metabolism of the person, used in cosmetics to the skin play Doug Baldwin Hat , wrinkle-free, anti-aging effects.
Accounted for 70% of the Earth's surface of the ocean, marine life habitat, marine organic matter is twice that of the terrestrial organic matter, now more than 3,000 kinds of biologically active substances with a development value has been extracted from the sea, it is for cosmetics raw materials natural heritage.
Crustaceans, is a natural polymer extracted from the marine crab, octopus and crustaceans. Chitosan is heated with concentrated alkali deacetylation of chitin into chitosan. Although they are extracted from the waste Earl Thomas III Hat , but it is in chemistry, environmental protection, medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and other fields have much to offer, its structure especially like cellulose, widely used in the cosmetics industry. Put it in a capsule eat it will make the intestines cellulose expansion can absorb 12 times larger than the size of its fat carries fat droplets discharged from the stool to eat into the gastrointestinal. In this way, astaxanthin will not only become fat but also in weight reduction, it belongs to easy weight loss tablets. Preparation of raw materials into cosmetics film permeability 12th Fan Hat , water absorption and excellent, so it is both moisturizing anti-wrinkle, another anti-aging effect. If it is dubbed the cream in good moisturizing treatment of dehydration dermatosis. Use it to the preparation of a spray emulsion, exposure to acid, alkali, soap, all kinds of detergents, before the operation, his hands first spray a layer of spray emulsion Michael Dickson Hat , can play a good protective effect.
Green materials. Green materials is far from chemical raw materials, using natural raw materials, both with good results, non-toxic side effects, does not pollute the environment. Seabuckthorn. China is the world's sea buckthorn big country, is widely distributed in various parts of China, the most densely distributed in the Qinghai-Tibet and Inner Mongolia Plateau. The sea buckthorn tree, the root leaves, fruits Shaquem Griffin Hat , whole body is a treasure, it contains VC than kiwi, but also contains a large number of amino acids, trace elements, unsaturated fatty acids. Sea buckthorn oil also contains more than 60% of palm fatty acid and palm oil, flax fatty acid, it can eliminate free radicals in the cell membrane, can prevent lipid peroxidation. Will sea buckthorn effective ingredients add to cosmetics, skin rejuvenation Russell Wilson Hat , whitening, is typical of green materials.
