Is DDT is non-biodegradable?

DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a persistent organic pollutant that is considered non-biodegradable in the environment. It can remain in the environment for a long time, accumulating in organisms and the food chain, leading to harmful effects on wildlife and humans.


Is ddt a persistant or non persistant pollutant?

Non-Persistant


What is non degradable pollutants?

Wastes that rot by the action of decomposers eg. peels of vegetables or fruit, etc are called biodegradableWastes that do not rot by the action of decomposers eg. plastic bottles, etc are called nonbiodegradable


Why are non-persistent pesticides more dangerous than persistent pesticides?

Non-persistent and persistent pesticides are equally dangerous, but non-persistent has immediate impacts whereas persistent pesticides wield long-term effects.Specifically, non-persistent pesticides include the super-powerful organophosphate malathion. They may impact people and wildlife for hours to weeks until they degenerate. In contrast, chlorinated hydrocarbons represent prime examples of persistent pesticides which survive for months to decades in the environment.It is the difference between immediate, sudden death or disability and long-term, protracted fatalities.


Is hydrogen good fuel?

It is a very good fuel. This is because it is a non pollutant. It is non pollutant because it does not contain carbon. By the way, it can be produced by electrolysis. It is not found as bulk but only industrially produced.


Difference between non-persistent and p-persistent csma?

Non-persistent is deferential, while 1-prisistent is selfish.In non-persistent CSMA if the medium is busy, there will be a random delay for retransmission. This reduces the probability of collisions, but wastes the capacity.In 1-persistent CSMA if the medium is busy, the channel will be sensed until it is idle, then it will transmit immediately. This means that collisions are almost guaranteed to occur.


What does it mean to be a non point pollutant?

A non-point pollutant is a pollutant which has a source that is not readily apparent. Unlike pollution from sewage plants which is easy to indentify, non-point pollution is often caused by rain, or snowfall which causes pollutants to run off and empty in body of water and such. They carry away pollutants from their sources or points, which is why this effect is called Nonpoint source pollution


How do persistent and non-persistent pesticides differ?

Non-persistent pesticides are compounds that break down quickly in the environment. Several different classes of pesticides make up this group: • Cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides, which includes the organophosphates and carbamates • Chlorinated phenols • Herbicides • Pyrethroids • Fungicides • Repellents Non-persistent pesticides became widely used after persistent organochlorine pesticides were banned from manufacture and use in the United States in the 1970s. Non-persistent pesticides are less harmful to the environment because they do not build up but they have to be applied more often to households and crops to be effective.


How do you conserve oil?

Use for non pollutant resources such as wind, water, sun, etc.


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.


Persistent and non persistent pesticides differ?

Persistant pesticides last longer than non persistant pesticides. This means that they can build up in animals and humans and cause more damage.
