How do human beings affect the social environment in positive ways?
A person can contribute to the social fabric, or make it worse. When someone violates social norms, the impact is negative. When someone does volunteer work, obeys the law, is a good neighbor, participates in the voting process, stays informed about local issues, this effects the social environment in positive ways. Overall, the best thing a human being can do to have a positive impact is to live a life exercising strengths of character.

in pH acids range from 0-6.as the highest value is 6 and if the concentration of an acid is 6 it is concentrated as this value drops the concentration drops
How can farm chemicals pollute water-?
The fertilizers they use can go a stray and end up in water ways or rivers, this extra nutrients can cause the plankton to grow super size then they become algae, algae bloom which is large amounts of algae pretty much stopping photosynthesis process which plants get their food from the sun) and stopping other marine life to get oxygen in the water because the algae which is a living thing sucks it all up and some algae even excretes toxin which is bad. It's like a really long chain reaction of what farm chemicals can do.

How can N be removed from wastewater treatment?
Nitrobacter play an essential role in aquaponics. Nitrosomonas bacteria first convert ammonia into nitrites. Nitrobacter convert the nitrites into nitrates, which are readily absorbed by the plants.

Effects of fertilizers on water quality?
Properly fertilized land causes no water issues at all and provides several times more food then if fertilizers were not used. Without fertilizers the planet could not sustain anywhere near the volume of humans we currently have.
Over fertilization with some forms of fertilizers can cause water contamination. Some fertilizers are natural and run off from them is not an issue.
What causes water bottles pollution?
Water bottles that are not recycled or disposed of properly are a pollutant in the environment. Many people buy bottled water under the mistaken assumption that the water is better than what comes out of the tap, when what they are drinking is just filtered tap water of unknown origin.
Chemicals are anything that are made of matter, which includes all solids, liquids and gases - and therefore the human body is made up of chemicals. However, if you are referring to synthetic chemicals, that is those that are manufactured by man, then they are used in every modern application you can name. The main industries are the petrochemical (fuels, lubricants, etc), agrochemical (pesticides etc) and pharmaceutical (medicines), to name but a few.
BP was a result of a merger in 1998, the world's largest between industrial companies. William Knox D'Arcy founded BP in the early 1900s. D'Arcy was convinced (and eventually proven right) that there were large oil deposits in Iran (then Persia).
Are there mechanisms in place to treat the biodegradable and non biodegradable wastes seprately?
There are many kinds of waste, and many ways of disposing of waste. Most communities have sewage treatment plants, which treat sewage waste. Improvements in how this is done are coming rapidly.
Industrial waste might or might not be biodegradable. For example inorganic chemicals are not normally biodegradable. On the other hand, leather scraps and wood chips are. Some non-biodegradable waste is put into landfills, and some is recycled for reuse. Biodegradable industrial waste may be digested in special reaction vessels. Farm wastes may be similarly treated.
Hazardous waste is specially treated, as required. Nuclear waste is left in casks at the plants that created it, until someone makes a decision about what to do with it.
Household waste is often segregated, as required by municipalities. Plastics and metals, which are not biodegradable, are recycled. Hazardous waste goes into special containers, often on designated days. Biodegradable waste is often composted, either by the municipality, or by the resident.
Biodegradable waste can give off methane gas as it decomposes. Methane is a powerful global warming gas, much more powerful than carbon dioxide. In places where a sufficient amount of methane is generated, it is often used to generate heat or electricity.
In other words, the answer is Yes.
What are some environmental issues of the ocean?

What do scientists use to describe the way energy flows through an ecosystem?
Scientists use a food chain or a food web to describe the way energy flows through an ecosystem, showing the transfer of energy from one organism to another as they consume and are consumed by each other. This helps explain how energy is transferred and distributed throughout different trophic levels in an ecosystem.
Who are the friends of the earth and what do they do?

How is the food chain effected by water pollution and what are the end results?
Creatures who live in the water will diminish, which will cause the producers to increase in polpulation and the pretators to get smaller in polpulation. The chain gets uneven at the end.
What do humans do with garbage?

i know that they used to create mounds (hills basically) and put garbage under it, i dont know if they do now but i hope that helps.
