How can you get sick by air pollution?
Exposure to air pollution can irritate the respiratory system, trigger asthma attacks, and increase the risk of respiratory infections. Long-term exposure can also lead to chronic conditions such as heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases. Air pollution can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to various health issues.
Concept of opportunity cost to the pollution of a lake an economist would conclude that all polution in the lake should be eliminated regardless of cost?
All cost/benefit is driven by the specifics of the situation. In this case terms like "all pollution" and "regardless of cost" would make the question unanswerable. Like the control of toxins in workplace environments there is a "no impact level" for pollutants. Below this limit the natural assimilative capacity of the system can remove the material. Risk analysis is based on the fact that zero is risk is never attainable. With regard to the cost factors - pollution control systems themselves have a calculable cost - the added worth of supporting a population through wages, infrastructure through taxes and health care through employee benefits which offset the acceptance of a level of pollution are more difficult to peg. These would come into play in calculating "regardless of cost". In the example of the use of fertilizers and pesticides in the agribusiness, the total elimination of these potential pollutants could cause massive food shortages and starvation - not a cost that people would be willing to pay.
Why pollution in a watershed poses a potential threat to the river system that flows through it.?
because of the fishes in the sea it is a batty boy fish
Why does pollution in a watershed poses a potential threat to the river system that flowsthrough it?
The river system could potentially pick up chemicals in the water and then transport them in the direction of the water flow. The water could end up in a populated area that depends on that particular water source. This could lead to contamination of drinking water. It also has the potential to affect the ecosystem of the river and all the organisms living in it.
