What are some differences between persistent and non persistent pollutants?
Persistant breaks down slowly is easy to die down. non-persitant breaks down fast and is hard to get rid of.
Definition of non-point source water pollution?
Non Point Water Pollution is where the pollutant does not enter from the source, rather anywhere else along the river. =P
Is formaldehyde a primary pollutant?
Yes, it is a primary pollutant
Is ground ozone a primary or secondary pollutant?

What substance is not considered to be an air pollutant?

Is ddt a persistant or non persistant pollutant?

What is non degradable pollutants?
Wastes that rot by the action of decomposers eg. peels of vegetables or fruit, etc are called biodegradableWastes that do not rot by the action of decomposers eg. plastic bottles, etc are called nonbiodegradable
Why are non-persistent pesticides more dangerous than persistent pesticides?
Non-persistent and persistent pesticides are equally dangerous, but non-persistent has immediate impacts whereas persistent pesticides wield long-term effects.Specifically, non-persistent pesticides include the super-powerful organophosphate malathion. They may impact people and wildlife for hours to weeks until they degenerate. In contrast, chlorinated hydrocarbons represent prime examples of persistent pesticides which survive for months to decades in the environment.It is the difference between immediate, sudden death or disability and long-term, protracted fatalities.
Is hydrogen good fuel?
It is a very good fuel. This is because it is a non pollutant. It is non pollutant because it does not contain carbon. By the way, it can be produced by electrolysis. It is not found as bulk but only industrially produced.
Difference between non-persistent and p-persistent csma?
Non-persistent is deferential, while 1-prisistent is selfish.In non-persistent CSMA if the medium is busy, there will be a random delay for retransmission. This reduces the probability of collisions, but wastes the capacity.In 1-persistent CSMA if the medium is busy, the channel will be sensed until it is idle, then it will transmit immediately. This means that collisions are almost guaranteed to occur.
What does it mean to be a non point pollutant?
A non-point pollutant is a pollutant which has a source that is not readily apparent. Unlike pollution from sewage plants which is easy to indentify, non-point pollution is often caused by rain, or snowfall which causes pollutants to run off and empty in body of water and such. They carry away pollutants from their sources or points, which is why this effect is called Nonpoint source pollution
How do persistent and non-persistent pesticides differ?
Non-persistent pesticides are compounds that break down quickly in the environment. Several different classes of pesticides make up this group: • Cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides, which includes the organophosphates and carbamates • Chlorinated phenols • Herbicides • Pyrethroids • Fungicides • Repellents Non-persistent pesticides became widely used after persistent organochlorine pesticides were banned from manufacture and use in the United States in the 1970s. Non-persistent pesticides are less harmful to the environment because they do not build up but they have to be applied more often to households and crops to be effective.
How do you conserve oil?
Use for non pollutant resources such as wind, water, sun, etc.
Is GMO a persistent organic pollutant?
Persistent Organic Pollutants are chemicals that are insoluble in water, don't biodegrade, and tend to persist in the environment. Pops may be residual residue of other chemicals, used in factory's or as pesticides. The 12 most "notorious" have been banned by the UN.
What are some differences between persistent and non persistent pollutants?
Persistant breaks down slowly is easy to die down. non-persitant breaks down fast and is hard to get rid of.
