Is uranium good for the environment?
Uranium is a toxic and radioactive metal; of course the contamination of waters, soils, etc. must be avoided.Accidents in uranium mines or plants can lead to pollution of waters and soils.
Why does saltwater cannot be used for irrigation?
Saltwater changes the ionic balance of soils causing the soil structure to change and collapse. In addition saltwater adversely affects the osmotic pressure of plant roots so that water cannot be absorbed from the soil/
What can happen if sodium cyanide and sulphuric acid are not handled properly while mining?
A dangerous contamination of waters and soils occur.
How does uranium get in to the environment?
1. Uranium exist naturally in rocks, soils, air and waters. 2. Man made contamination is from plants and mines leakages.
What causes soil to become brackish?
- after irrigation salt from the water remain in the soils- in some regions rivers carry salted waters from the mountains- a local contamination from an industrial activity- contamination from sea water or other bodies of salt water
What are the damaging effects of salts on the environment during de-icing?
- contamination of soils and waters with sodium (or calcium) chloride - the ion chloride is corrosive for iron and iron alloys
What effect did pH have on ammonification in the soil sample?
There is research evidence that low pH soils are associated with less ability to facilitate ammonification. A comparison was done of forest soils having a pH less than 4.0 with soils having a pH greater than 4.0. An assay for measuring the ability of soils to produce ammonia was developed using the protein arginine. Ammonia production from this protein was significantly higher in the soils with the higher pH. Also, a negative correlation was found between pH and ammonia production in the low-pH soils.
What animals are affected by nuclear waste?
Nuclear wastes may be the cause of radioactive contamination of soils, waters, atmosphere, living beings.
Why is sodium chloride contamination controlled?
- Soils containing too much salt are not recommended for agriculture. - Salt may be a pollutant (and a danger for some species of animal and vegetal life) in rivers and lakes
Which are the different types of soils found in India give the explanation?
There are 8 types of soils in India. 1.Alluvial soils 2.Black soils 3.Red soils 4.Laterite soils 5.Moutainous soils 6.Desert soils 7.Saline soils 8.Peat soils
How do particles help forensic scientists?
Particles patterns help distinguish two different object even the two objects are of the same objects. For example, the soil in America and the soil in Asia, while both are soils, the particles of the 2 soils are different and help distinguish them. Same in forensic when distinguishing between soils, poisons, blood, contamination and even our DNA are made of particles and aredistinguish because different DNA has different particle arrangement.
What is plutoniums occurence?
As a natural chemical element plutonium exist only in traces in uranium ores. A not important today contamination of soils, waters and atmosphere is derived from nuclear weapons tests and nuclear facilities accidents.
