What are some examples of toxic pollutants listed in the gizmo?

Some examples of toxic pollutants listed in the gizmo may include heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium; organic pollutants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides; as well as other harmful substances such as dioxins and solvents. These pollutants can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.


What is polluant?

pollutants are substance or energy introduced into the environment that has undesired effects, or adversely affects the usefulness of a resource. A pollutant may cause long- or short-term damage by changing the growth rate of plant or animal species, or by interfering with human amenities, comfort, health, or property values. Some pollutants are biodegradable and therefore will not persist in the environment in the long term. However the degradation products of some pollutants are themselves polluting such as the products DDE and DDD produced from degradation of DDT.

What Cumulative and noncumulative pollutants?

Cumulative pollutants are substances that build up over time in the environment or living organisms, such as heavy metals or persistent organic pollutants. Noncumulative pollutants are those that are not stored in the environment and do not accumulate in organisms, like volatile organic compounds or some pesticides.


What are some practical applications of the principles of chemistry in the field of environmental science?

Some practical applications of chemistry in environmental science include studying the effects of pollutants on ecosystems, developing methods to clean up contaminated sites, and designing sustainable materials and processes to reduce environmental impact. Chemistry helps us understand how pollutants interact with the environment and how to mitigate their effects, leading to better environmental management and conservation efforts.


What are some differences between persistent and non persistent pollutants?

Persistent pollutants remain in the environment for long periods of time, accumulating in living organisms and causing harm over time. In contrast, non-persistent pollutants break down relatively quickly in the environment and do not bioaccumulate to the same extent. Persistent pollutants can have long-term effects on ecosystems and human health, while non-persistent pollutants tend to have more immediate and local impacts.

What do you call the stuff that causes pollution?

Pollutants.a-Stock pollutantsPollutants that the environment has little or no absorptive capacity are called stock pollutants[2](e.g. persistent synthetic chemicals, non-biodegradableplastics, and heavy metals). Stock pollutants accumulate in the environment over time. The damage they cause increases as more pollutant is emitted, and persists as the pollutant accumulates. Stock pollutants can create a burden for future generations by passing on damage that persists well after the benefits received from incurring that damage have been forgotten.[2][edit]b-Fund pollutantsFund pollutants are those for which the environment has some absorptive capacity. Fund pollutants do not cause damage to the environment unless the emission rate exceeds the receiving environment's absorptive capacity (e.g. carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by plants and oceans).[2]Fund pollutants are not destroyed, but rather converted into less harmful substances, or diluted/dispersed to non-harmful concentrations.[2][edit]Notable pollutantsNotable pollutants include the following groups:Heavy metalsPersistent organic pollutants POPEnvironmental Persistent Pharmaceutical Pollutants EPPPPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonsVolatile organic compoundsEnvironmental xenobiotics


What are some potential chemistry topics for research that could be explored in the field of environmental science?

Some potential chemistry topics for research in environmental science include studying the impact of pollutants on ecosystems, investigating the effectiveness of different remediation techniques for contaminated sites, and exploring the chemistry of climate change and its effects on the environment.
