What is the source of wastewater?
The sources for wastewater are extremely vast. Most water from homes and businesses gets treated by municipalities. Some often even treat storm run off due to it collecting oils and greases from the roads.
A major contributor of wastewater reaching our streams, rivers, and oceans untreated is due to farming. As they add chemicals, such as anhydrous, insecticides, or any other number of chemicals to treat crops and or soil, and then water these crops or the crops receive rain, this water runs off into the receiving streams and collect these chemicals on the way.
These cause negative issues in the waters such as excessive algae growth, fish kills, and so on, and are largely unmonitored or regulated. Municipalities must meet extremely stringent guidelines when treating wastewater before it enters the stream as effluent but increasing problems still exist. Specifically there are dead zones that are ever increasing in the Gulf of Mexico which has been diagnosed as a problem of certain types of algae. The increase algae growth has been linked to nitrogen and phosphorus in the water. While municipalities treat for this, agriculture adds to it with their chemicals and run off.
How do interruptions cause problems in communication?
Interruptions have been studied extensively by discourse analysts and here are a couple of links to help:
http://web.unbc.ca/~lih/interruption2005.pdf http://acl.ldc.upenn.edu/J/J86/J86-3001.pdf Interruption is typically described as a communication error in English speaking cultures, as in " aggressive domination of conversation through interruptions"... and a typical way of violating the "politeness principle" and the accepted rules of "turn-taking".
Not all interruptions are aggressive or intrusive but some are considered "co-operative:

What is the meaning of the sentence The buck does funny things when the does are present?
The key to understanding this sentence is to realize that a buck is a male deer and a doe is a female deer. The plural for doe is the same as the word does (ie. Does the dog bark much?), which adds to the confusion.
The meaning of the sentence can be explained like this:
The male deer does funny things when the girl deer are present.

Humans are impacting oceans by polluting the water and leaving their trash in the water.This causes the ocean damage.
They are also cleaning it and restocking certain sections, taking care of endangered parts and species.
What is carbon dioxide and how may it be harmful to drivers?
1. Carbon dioxide is a gas, non-toxic, with the formula CO2.
2. Carbon dioxide is not harmful for drivers. But:
- carbon dioxide is harmful for the life on the earth because is a green house gas
- carbon dioxide is not a breathing gas and did not maintain animal life
- carbon dioxide is useful for plants, important in photosynthesis
Should you try to drive new car less to avoid adding to the mileage?
Driving less is usually a good thing. If you can avoid putting miles on your new car by putting them on your old hoopty instead, you might want to do that. However, you need to balance this against the fact that it's likely your new car probably gets much better mileage and is safer and more reliable.
In the end, it comes down to a value judgment. If you're just running down to the store, sure, drive the beater. If you're driving across the country for a vacation, it might be time to reconsider. (I've actually taken advantage of unlimited mileage offers on rental cars to rent a vehicle for vacations. For a two-week vacation, somewhere between two and three people is usually the breakeven point in cost compared to plane or train travel. If you've got at least two drivers who actually enjoy driving, it's about as fast as taking a train, and you have the option to take short detours to visit interesting sites you might otherwise have missed.)

What is the oldest glass icon from Romania?
First dated glass icon (and the oldest surely known today) in Romania is from the village Ribicioara de jos, 1778.

LE by Bacx: The oldest glass icon in Romania is from the 15th century, and it is found in the National Museum of Art (the former Royal Palace), in Bucharest. The icon depicts the Virgin Mary and baby Christ and is named just like that "The virgin Mother with son". It is said, though not for sure, that is was painted by a monk from Moldavia.
Harmful solidliquid and gases?
Solids, I say lead is pretty harmful. So is Uranium (whether it's liquid or solid).
Liquids, I pretty sure Mercury is one of the worst, if you touch it, it disolves into your skin. (Which is bad) Gasoline is also pretty bad along with oil.
Gases, I say Methane (A big cause in global warming), and Helium if you breathe too much, and Radium (Radiation), as well as flammable hydrogen.

Is it wise to completely shut down a company that is causing pollution?
Answer It depends
Answer:
This is too open a question to respond to directly as it is dependant on what type of pollution you are refering to. Should it be an enterprise that is simply pumping noxious gases into the air, then the answer would be yes. If the business is responsible for pollutants entering local water supplies and therefore local land then the answer may be far more complex as one must consider the obligation of the company to rectify the damage they have caused, knowlingly or unknowingly. One answer would be "you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs" and this is certainly valid if we wish to kept the advantages of modern technology as there is always a price to pay in many broken eggs. However, many modern technologies can now be approached from different directions; the stumbling block being the initial start-up costs. Again, the problem here lies in evaluating actual cost against the benefit of an ecological balance - something I feel that must be incorporated into all business directives such we wish to survive as a species. There is a phrase from the North American Indians and also the Chinese that states "Only when the rivers are empty of fish and the forests empty of animals will people realise they can't eat money". Our seas are in danger of being emptied of fish. We are not the biggest predator here but are certainly responsible for a massive imbalance that only time and nature can heal. We are directly responsible for often terrible pollution and seem to consistently ignore our responsibilities leaving it to action groups such as Greenpeace to bring the issues to the public's attention when such should never have been allowed to happen in the first place should correct business standards have been mandatory. The American Government, or more precisely, Texas, set the standard of preferring financial gain to ecologic responsibility by forcing the U.S. to not participate in the Carbon Dioxide reduction program agreed upon by the rest of the World. Many Americans voiced the fact that they were embarassed by their own country over this issue but that does not change the fact. Perhaps now, our only solution is to allow a World Overseeing body to regulate all issues of pollution that individual countries must recognise. Greed, of course, will sadly not allow this to happen. I am not a scientist so I am not qualified to correctly answer this question but I am a very concerned individual as I am currently living in China where I see many things that can simply wipe out the population here (namely, terrible air and an increasing loss of farmland) unless the problems are addressed very quickly.
Are EURO4 emissions better than EURO5 emissions?
No, in every cathegory the EURO5 emission levels are more stringent then EURO4.
For example, at Diesel Passanger Cars, PM level is 0.025 g/km (EURO4) and 0.005 g/km (EURO5)
Emission measurement methods might have been modified as well.

What pollution affects the tundra?
Power plants and factories burn different fossil fuels like coal and oil. The smoke and fumes from burning fossil fuels rise into the atmosphere and combine with the moisture in the air to form acid rain. Acid rain is damaging to the leaves of many trees, it limits the nutrients available to them, and can poison them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil.
