Bioreactors
"While most antipollution technologies involve massive, complex equipment, some scientists are experimenting with tiny, simple living organisms called cyanobacteria that eat polluting carbon dioxide (CO2). These algae can flourish in the blistering temperatures of chimneys. Researchers have designed "bioreactors," window-screen-like membranes teeming with cyanobacteria, for future installation into power plant smokestacks. Fiber- optic cables would focus life-sustaining light across the membranes, allowing the algae to grow inside chimneys while feasting on a diet of CO2 exhaust. This technology has already proved itself in small-scale demonstrations. A test on a fully operational power plant is about five years away, and scientists are also studying the same algae as a potential source of hydrogen energy." (NOVA)

What is being done about Thermal Pollution?
One thing that being done about thermal pollution is that less electricity is being used. Another thing is that heated water is being reused and stored to reduce thermal pollution.
What are emission levels?
Emission levels means the amount of something that is being emitted. For example, we want to lower the emission levels of factory pollution that is going into the air.
Why would not driving help reduce air pollution?
Because not as much of the exaust from the car is being released into the atmosphere.

You cannot use CFC's anymore

What are the remedial measures of sound pollution?
Remedial measures of sound pollution are the steps we take to reduce excess noise. This can be as simple as being aware of how loud we speak or listen to music.
What is being done in Mumbai to reduce or prevent air pollution?
recycling schemes have been set upfactories have been prosecuted if they release toxic gases
Do hybrid cars produce up to 75 percent less pollution then other vehicles?
Overall they have the potential to reduce pollution slightly. There is a definite increase in the pollution during manufacturing. The pollution made while the car is moving is reduced by the amount of fuel saved. During the end of life cycle, the mount of pollution will be determined by how much of the cars end up being recycled.
What are two effects of pigments found in cyanobacteria?
Some have a blue pigment that helps in photosynthesis. This pigment gives those cyanobacteria a blue tint. Other cyanobacteria have red pigment. Flamingos get their pink color by eating red cyanobacteria. or Cyanobacteria lives in water and these bacteria contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is important to photosynthesis.
How does conservation help to reduce air pollution?
It is often unclear how the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle process can reduce pollution in the air. The chief way that reusing, in particular, can reduce air pollution is by reducing the need for the manufacturing of new items. The manufacturing process can cause air pollution, so the reduced need to manufacture will reduce the produced pollution.
Would a massage chair help me to reduce my stress levels and aid relaxation?
Massage is a way of relaxing and lowering stress levels. Studies have proven that people tend to have lowered stress levels after being massaged. A massage chair would indeed aid you in the reduction of stress levels.
What is pollution abatement?
Pollution abatement is reduction of the amount of pollution being created or existing in an area.
