Why does the oxygen lvel in water decrease as a result of dumping diodegradable wastes in a river?
In all bodies of water, there live micro-bacteria that need food just like us. These bacteria are not producers like plants; they cannot produce their own food. These bacteria decompose the biodegradable wastes that were dumped. When they do, they need Oxygen in order to break the wastes down into simpler molecules. Therefore, the amount of dissolved Oxygen in the river decreases.
What are some uses for alkali and bases?

Does Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives?
yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.
Why is is important to dispose of wastes from nuclear power plants carefully?
The wastes are radioactive and could cause cancer.

What do people do to nuclear wastes presently?
The nuclear wastes are currently placed in underground storage units (long tubes of radioactive waste materials) all over the country or all over the world.
What is a undesirable point of view to have nuclear wastes stored or transported near your home?
