Word Count: 1039 Science as a Human Endeavour Task–Industry on the Burrup Peninsula (Part B)How has discovery of historical artefacts on an existing industry chemical area influenced how chemical industries must be mindful of their processes to the local surroundings?IntroductionPeninsula is a land that is surrounded by some water, and there are many chemical industries which are placed in the area. It is a unique ecological area as it has the collection of petroglyphs and standing stones (Pollution destroying heritage-listed art,2017). The chemical industries convert raw materials like oil, water, air & metals into various products. Cultural identity is an important aspect of a community. Therefore, it is important to keep the site of any discovered artefacts to retain the knowledge. Additionally, chemical industries present environmental concerns such as waste disposal and harmful emissions, so it is important for these industries to be mindful and have policies and rules in place to manage and maintain the surrounding environment.Significance of engravings and the peninsula, history, cultureBurrup Peninsula is the oldest art sites in the world, and it is situated near the north-east of Western Australia. Some yaburarra or inhabitants of the area and they left a rich heritage culture for the Burrup as this has the prehistoric rock art (Debate over industry impact on WA rock art, 2017). The culture which is adopted by peninsula is represented by their aboriginal community. The art which is incorporated by the people is represented in the form of a human face.Engraving is a practice which are performed to print a design on the hard or flat surface. It is a historical method that is used to produce some images for mapmaking, print making and commercial reproductions (Where art meets industry: protecting the spectacular rock art of the Burrup Peninsula, 2017).

Australian Geographic. 2017.Current Industries based at the peninsulaThere are two chemical firms situated at the peninsula, being Yara Pilbara, Pluto LNG Park which produces the chemical by using the raw material. There are some harmful gases which is produced by current chemical industries like carbon monoxide, chlorine, nitrogen dioxide, phosgene. These can affect the health of an individual. The acid emission can highly affect the rocks at Burrup Peninsula as due to this the texture and crystal gets changed and it gets turned into metaphoric rocks just like marble. So, arts cannot be made effective by the artists. Chemical concepts, background information and chemistry involved in theseplants

Two chemical industries Yara International and Australia’s Orica Ltd which performed a joint venture and they produced an ammonium nitrate. The plant uses a technique where they convert natural gas into ammonia, and after that, it gets converted into ammonium nitrate. This is the main component which are used in the iron ore mining industry (Water Corporation of WA, 2017). This added some value into the natural resources and iron industry will also be able to get their vital component. Some new technologies like computational molecular science and process modellinghas been developed by the industry on Burrup Peninsula. For this, some new models and theories developed which will help the chemical industry to make ammonium nitrate in an effective way (Chemical plant to make explosives opens on WA's Burrup Peninsula, 2017). The plan which is producing chemical is designed as per the new standards more ammonium nitrate will be produced at low prices. Thechemical processfor producing ammonium nitrate isoutlined below.
