Record 2 2003-11-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
DEF

A series of processes in which atmospheric sulfur dioxide is oxidized to the trioxide, which combines with water and is washed out on to the Earth's surface as sulfuric acid or sulfates; bacterial action converts the sulfates into hydrogen sulfide, which is then oxidized to sulfur dioxide. This mechanism maintains the global atmospheric concentration of sulfur dioxide at a roughly constant level, and it is important to ensure that the extra sulfur dioxide produced by man does not overload it, leading to steadily increasing concentration in the air.

  • Pollution de l'air
CONT

Mais comme la plupart des débats sur la pollution, celui concernant les pluies acides péchait par la faiblesse des certitudes et l'ampleur des questions en suspens. Que devient le soufre dans l'atmosphère? Quel est le cycle du soufre? Quelle est la part des activités humaines et celle des phénomènes naturels volcaniques dans les émissions de soufre? Quel rôle jouent les océans?

Record 3 1981-02-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Laws of the Market (Economy)
  • Saving and Consumption
OBS

Economists who think the utilities of different persons can be added together to form a total social utility speak of taxing to produce maximum total utility, or to produce some specified pattern of utility sacrifice. Thus, if each extra dollar brings less and less satisfaction to a man, and if the rich and poor are alike in their capacity to enjoy satisfaction, a dollar taxed away from a millionaire and given to a median-income person is supposed to add more to total utility than it subtracts.

Record 5 1981-01-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Laws of the Market (Economy)
  • Production (Economics)
OBS

Suppose you blindfold a man and ask him to hold out his hand, palm up. Now place a weight on his palm; he will certainly notice it. As you add more units of weight, he notices their addition too. But after his palm is carrying a good deal of weight, you can add just as big a weight as you did in the beginning, and yet this time he will reply that he is not conscious of any addition. In other words, the greater the total weight he is already carrying, the less will be the effect of an extra or marginal unit of weight.
