Why rainwater without salt?
Rain water does contain salts but not those which are found in sea water. Rain contains salts which are usually obtained from atmospheric pollutants such as nitrates, sulphates, and so on.
What is an example of bioremediation?
Bioremediation mostly involves the use of microorganisms and plants to revome pollutants from water and soil. Some microorganisms like archea, bacteria, fingi etc are capable of metobilsm pollutants and in the process degrading them into less harmful byproducts thereby reducing their levels in the environment. Others through some metabolic pathways can alter the form of certain pollutants into less harmful ones. eg some bacteria are capable of altering the oxidation state of certain metal ions to less toxic forms. Also some plant species have specialized tissues that enable them absorb certain pollutants like heavy metals etc and thus reduce the levels of such pollutants in the environment. After absorbing the pollutants, the plant material could be harvested and incinerated.
What term refers to garbage that contains pollutants?
hazardous waste
Substances discharged into the air are called what?
A substance discharged into the air
What type of rock cannot float on water?
Virtually all types of rock will sink in water. The only rock that can float on water is pumice.
What different types of pollutians are there?
There are many types of pollutants, and they are classified by the parts of the environment they pollute. The most common are water pollutants and air pollutants.
What types of pollution are there?
Secondary pollutants. Secondary pollutants are pollutants caused by man. Which consider smog, chemical pollution,ect.. Primary pollutants. primary pollutants are pollutants that are caused by nature. Volcano's eruptions etc. pollution can be caused in the air water sound and any where in the environment
What types of chemicals pollutants are responsible for the ozone depletion and where do these come from?
water vapor, oxidized
Types of environment pollution?
Pollutants are energy or substances that have adverse or undesired effects when introduced into the environment. In nature, pollutants include stock pollutants and notable pollutants.
What is meant b y pollutants and what are their types?
things that cause pollution (ie noise, air, water)
When water evaporates and condensates does it still contain pollutants?
YES BECAUSE some pollutants are evaporated with water
What are the types of pollutants on the basis of origin and persistence?
There are too many possible pollutants to give a satisfactory answer to your question. Salt is not a pollutant in cooking, but it is in drinking water. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant when we breathe it in and out, but it is a serious pollutant in the atmosphere.
What is produced when rainwater mixes with pollutants?
It depends upon the types of pollutants, but a common result is acid rain.
What is dispersing pollutants in larger volumes of water referred to as?
Dispersing pollutants in larger volumes of water is called dilution.
Precipitataions that can carry pollutants into water?
Precipitation can carry pollutants in water whereby when moisture rises and mixes with gases from industries thereby condensing and falling back as acid rain may carry the pollutants into water.
List the major types of water pollutants suggest ways to reduce the level of each type of pollutant in a water supply?
Some of the major types of water pollutants are chemical pollution, nutrient pollution, and microbial pollution. Ways to reduce microbiological pollution are by having facilities to clean the water. To reduce nutrient pollution stop using fertilizers and to reduce chemical pollution monitor companies more closely to stop them from dumping chemicals into the water.
How might different types of pollution affect the water cycle?
Different pollutants may harm the water cycle. It can make the water acidic.
