Document Summary

E n v 1 0 0 t e s t 2 p r e p a r a t i o n p a c k a g e. James lovelock worked with a. j. p. martin who discovered the analytical technique of gas chromatography. James lovelock helped discover the electron capture detector. Electron capture detector is able to detect toxic chemicals such as pan, pcbs, cfcs and nitrous oxide (which deplete the strength of the ozone in the stratosphere) James lovelock uses gaia as a hypothesis that the biosphere is a self-regulating entity with the capacity to keep our planet healthy by controlling the chemical and physical environment. It is characterized by a tendency to shape or form itself as it consumes, but to do so it must always excrete low-grade products to its surroundings a flame for example needs adequate supply of fuel to keep going.
