Assess Risk was originally created by myself as a
thirty-something who was determined to make it clear that the internet is
not the sole province of the pre- pubescent. It began as one site
dedicated to providing free professional health and safety advice - hence
the title Assess Risk. Then the site took on a life of it's own, each
section giving birth to other sections until one day I stood beside the
monster and cried out 'It lives!' ( sorry - too much science fiction. )
"Boy! I sure don't have to add anything to that
statement. Pay her a visit folks." |

The Chemistry of Autumn colors: Every autumn across the
Northern Hemisphere, diminishing daylight hours and falling temperatures
induce trees to prepare for winter. In these preparations, they shed
billions of tons of leaves. In certain regions, such as our own, the
shedding of leaves is preceded by a spectacular color show. Formerly green
leaves turn to brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red. These color
changes are the result of transformations in leaf pigments.
"First day of autumn is Sept 22... so read on
further in this site and find out how and why our leaves become so
incredibly beautiful... but don't let it take away from the magic." |
