Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is often preferred for measuring environmental pollutants because it offers high sensitivity and selectivity for trace metal detection, making it effective for analyzing low concentrations in complex samples. It is particularly advantageous for analyzing specific metals individually, while Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-ES) can measure multiple elements simultaneously but may have lower sensitivity for some trace metals. Additionally, AAS typically requires less sample preparation and can be more cost-effective for specific applications focused on metals.

How is Asbestos an environmental problem?

Asbestos is an environmental problem in some locations because it is a hazardous material that occures naturally near the surface in some areas. Fire fighters working Forrest fires in some of the western National Parks have had to decontaminate their equipment at times because the dust that settled on it contained asbestos fibers. It can also be an environmental problem if removed from buildings and disposed of improperly, because it might become airborn within a community.


Is unburnt carbon a pollutant or nonpollutant?

Unburnt carbon, often found in the form of soot or particulate matter, is considered a pollutant. It can have detrimental effects on air quality and human health, contributing to respiratory issues and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, unburnt carbon can impact the environment by affecting climate change and ecosystem health. Therefore, it is classified as a pollutant rather than a nonpollutant.

Air is heavier than C02, CO2 has a very low boiling point. It is also a pollutant.


Is there an EPA limit for COS emissions?

Presumably by "COS" you mean Carbonyl Sulfide. US-EPA lists carbonyl sulfide as a "hazardous air pollutant". So presumably emitters of this compound (other than cabbage farmers) are required to self measure, and describe how they are controlling its emission. I find no direct reference to a limit on emissions.


What are the advantages of a lemon battery?

The lemon battery has no real world advantages other than the materials needed to make one are cheap, readily available, and nontoxic, making it quite suitable for a school science demonstration.


What is a biodegradable material that becomes a pollutant if allowed to accumulate more rapidly than it can decompose?

Paper is a biodegradable material, but if allowed to accumulate in large quantities in landfills, it can contribute to methane production and leach harmful chemicals into the environment during decomposition, making it a potential pollutant.
