Borneo Deforestation Connections To Periodic Table!

By
The Periodic table of goodness helps me understand deforestations in Borneo better by, showing hoe the elements affect what is happening. The three elements that I thought of are Oxygen, Carbon, and Arsenic. I choose these three for the reason of they all affect trees and what is happening in the everyday life of trees and what is happening to them now.
Oxygen– Is what trees produce. They let us breath clean and fresh air. When we cut down trees, that is less, and less oxygen in our world, as what we are doing in Borneo. When we breath out, we exhale carbon dioxide, while the trees take the carbon dioxide, then exhale oxygen and so we can breath. When we cut down trees, we have nothing to take in our carbon dioxide, which is bad for our health.

Carbon– Like I said is what we breath out. Well carbon dioxide. Every time we lose a tree, or cut one down, more carbon is put into our atmosphere. If we continue cutting down trees, we will have no clean or fresh air left to breath. All humans would shortly die off. We can not live when we have no Oxygen to breath, we cannot live off of carbon dioxide.

Arsenic– affects the trees in the Borneo forest many different ways. Many of them include poisoning from the arsenic it’s self. One way in particular is that arsenic can poison fruits that grow on trees. The palm oil trees in Borneo produce fruit and that’s what people take off to make palm oil. It is then in our body being digested. This can have many affects on our body such as, sore throat, irritated lungs, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness, cramping and skin rashes. These are all bad, and life threatening to ourselves.
