Is BHC a biodegradable pollutants?
No
What s the difference between persistent and biodegradable pollutants?
Persistent pollutants remain in the environment for long periods of time without breaking down, while biodegradable pollutants can be broken down by natural processes into simpler, non-harmful substances over time. Persistent pollutants can accumulate in organisms and ecosystems, causing long-term harm, whereas biodegradable pollutants are less harmful as they can be naturally degraded.
why are non biodegradable pollutants cosidered too be of greater concern today?
Non biodegradable pollutants are very difficult to breakdown. They last for hundreds of years in the environment and affect nature negatively for long periods
What is biodegradable and non biodegradable materials?
Non-biodegradable- is a things that don't decomposed. example: styro,wheels,plastic bottles, and steel. Biodegradable - is a things that can be decomposed and it can be fertilizer to your plant. example: fruits,spoiled foods,thread, and decomposed plant. you can place the biodegradable at the compost pit.
Define biodegradable pollutant and non-biodegradable pollutant and give examples of each?
Biodegradable pollutant specifically refer to pollutants that are not harmful and are able to compose naturally. e.g. sewage Non biodegradable pollutant refer to organic compound such as metal which have a high toxic content and have a very harmful effect upon environment. This organic compound cannot decompose by microorganism
What are some Ill-effects of different pollutants?
chemicals and waste products are examples of pollutants
Are PCBs highly biodegradable?
No, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are not highly biodegradable. Due to their chemical structure and properties, they are resistant to biodegradation by natural processes, which can lead to their persistence in the environment and bioaccumulation in organisms.
What are the good effects of hurricane?
Hurricanes can bring much needed rainfall to drought-stricken regions and clear the air of pollutants.
Mention the four environmental pollutio and its pollutant?
Some of the most notable air pollutants are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and airborne particles, with radioactive pollutants probably among the most destructive ones (specifically when produced by nuclear explosions). Our Air Pollutants article provides a clear overview of sources and effects of these air pollutants. Water pollutants include insecticides and herbicides, food processing waste, pollutants from livestock operations, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, chemical waste and others. Some soil pollutants are: hydrocarbons, solvents and heavy metals. Non-Biodegradable Pollutants-such as plastic bags.
Difference between biodegradabe and non biodegradable pollutants?
Biodegradable means it can be decomposed but it needs a chemical agent to help break it down . Whereas degradable means it can be chemically degraded and it does not need an agent to degrade it.
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.
Can biodegradable pollutants cause environmental problems?
yes, they degrade and pollute... they're not gonna biodegrade in a vaccuum, so there's gonna be at least some exposure to the environment Nutrients are biodegradable can bring about imbalances in the living thing in water or soil for example leading to all kinds of problems.
