Is salt a particulate in the atmosphere?

Salt can become a particulate in the atmosphere when it is transported through processes such as sea spray from ocean waves, volcanic eruptions, or dust storms. These salt particles can contribute to air pollution and affect air quality.


Is pollution bad?

Yes. Even the origin of the word (essentially meaning "making things dirty") implies that pollution is not desirable. Pollution can injure plants, animals, machines and buildings. It can reduce land values, the productivity of farmland and the growth of forests. Water pollution can mpact fish supplies nad the health of communities.


Define soil-salinity and how they cause pollution?

Soil salinity refers to the concentration of salt in the soil, which can be harmful to plant growth and productivity. Salinity can cause pollution when salts accumulate in the soil due to factors like irrigation with salt-laden water or poor drainage, leading to reduced soil fertility and ecosystem degradation.


Is snow melting salt bad for the environment?

Yea its really bad for the environment because when you put road salt on clean snow, the snow becomes polluted. Polluted snow melts faster than clean snow because of lower albedo. After the polluted snow melts it goes into our water source and then it becomes into water pollution which becomes a bigger problem. Also, it can give plants and sometimes trees salt burn just by it being in the air and also when the snow melts the water carries the salt in to our fresh water lakes and rivers


How has car pollution affected us?

Car pollution has contributed to poor air quality, leading to respiratory issues like asthma and lung disease. It also exacerbates climate change by releasing greenhouse gases like CO2. Additionally, car pollution can harm ecosystems and wildlife through acid rain and pollution runoff.
