Do Bolivia have any problems with pollution?
it has a farming problem and that they need more farming plantion.
What was the Russian power plant disaster in the 1960's called?
Chernoybl Nuclear Power Plant Meltdown Except that happened on April 26, 1986.
How is smoking responsible for diseases and some pollution?
Smoking sends off the smoke, and many diseases are caused by any smoking at all.
What is the average amount of car gas that Americans consume in a week?
If the average tank of gas takes 20 gallons, and the average fuel efficiency is 18 miles per gallon (official statistics say about 22 mpg, but 5-6 mpg less if you consider buses and trucks and factor in real life traffic jams in major cities), then the average person can drive about 360 miles on one tank of gas.
If the average American commutes 50 miles a day to and from work 5 days a week they travel 250 miles. Throw in another 110 miles per week for miscellaneous travel and the average American consumer would be filling up about once a week, or using about 20 gallons per week, or 80 gallons a month, or 960 gallons a year. The official numbers are actually less than this.
I am just using sample numbers taken at random. None of this has been researched, and your numbers can come in significantly higher or lower.
Official statistics from 2000 - 10 years ago I know, but neither has significant legislation made an impact, nor have significant technological breakthroughs seeped into the hard heads of the broke American auto makers - say the average passenger car travels about 12,500 miles per year, at an average MPG of 22 MPG. Using these numbers, the average American consumer would buy about 580 gallons of gas a year, or about 50 gallons a month, or 12.5 gallons a week, which is close to official estimates. These numbers seem too low to me which is why I used a different metric.
If I split the difference between my arbitrary estimate and official estimates for passenger cars (not buses, light trucks or trucks, which is why I made my numbers higher as these require more fuel, as does bumper to bumper traffic), the average American buys about 16 gallons of gas a week, or about 65 gallons a month, or almost 800 gallons a year - not a month - close to official estimates when including buses and trucks.
there are two reasons: money and carelessness. you cant expect third world countries like mexico, who are dependent on the industries, to cut back on emissions. Money is always an issue, and you need it to afford energy saving appliances like flourescent lights; and you need enough of money to be able to afford cutting back on emissions. Factories mean jobs, and you need jobs to keep the economy, and ultimately the country, afloat. However, there are always money-greedy countries like the U.S that wants to take shortcuts and find lazier ways of saving the environment. For some apperent reason, they believe cutting back on emissions is too costly and not effective enough. Even though they are the world's biggest polluter (by a long shot, in fact). So there really is no way to motivate people to save the environment, other than raising awareness or boycotting paper towel companies (or something like that).
Why would gas come out of the exhaust pipe?
Don't want to doubt you, but I'd definitely check to make sure it feels lightly oily or even soak some a few drops into a paper towel and see if it ignited (careful of course). Assume it's not running rough / missing occasional firings, right?
This can also be caused by a defective fuel pressure regulator. (Ford Ranger)
Do all people think that land pollution is a problem?
Not all people. Some people like the ones that own land fills and stuff love to throw stuff away. But it is a problem. Recycle don't throw it away!! Don't dump too much!!
What are suspended impurities in water?
What are the conclusions of air pollution?
Many Chemicals Result in the Speed of Air Pollution such as:
Many Type of Dirt or fine Dust also pollute the Air!
How alternative resources reduce the natural resources?
give few alternative resources so as to reduce the use of natural resources
What is wasabi used for medicinally?
medicinal benefits attributed to wasabi include its effectiveness against diarrhea, blood clots, inflammation, and asthma. Its pungent aroma may help relieve sinusitis and bronchitis.
How can pollution be caused by burying garbage?
First lets define Garbage. Garbage from household day to day living, and from industrial stores or industry and even from heavy industry, could all be defined as garbage.
If garbage is simply food waste, the organic food matter is likely to break down quickly and combine with the soil, and may even compost and create enriching qualities. If introduced into an area that has large amounts of water flow, or poor organics in the soil, it may not break down, and may contribute to an imbalance in the usual flora/fauna bacteria, and environment of the area that its dumped/buried into.
But if we consider garbage to be all that is thrown away, there is no doubt the possibility that non organic, non compost-able materials, or chemicals, plastics, machinery (like a washing machine, or refrigerator) toxins like batteries made of lead and acid and exotic metals, and other items that can leach and pollute the air water or soil are going to be in that garbage.
Anything introduced into the ground, can be transferred to other parts of the earth by breaking down the products by bacteria, and water and carrying some of the elements in the garbage/waste into the water table. If the earth is later dug up, and subjected to air currents, the elements that were introduced and absorbed into the soil can be spread to other parts of the earth via dust. If elements are introduced that react with the earth, or rock within the soils, vapors or fumes could be created that are pollutants too.
Pollution is the introduction into the ground, air, water, with unnatural and not-normally occurring items. Whether its dangerous to humans, animals, ecosystems, water, air, or soil, plants, or micro organisms, are the measure of whether such pollution is "bad" "harmful" or "toxic" (or other qualifiers) in order to determine the degree to which it should or could be described. But the act of placing it where it didn't naturally occur is pollution.
To the extent that a 'landfill' is 'designed' to take garbage, then its not a act of pollution from a legal sense, but it is no doubt polluting that area of land from a scientific sense. To the extent that later some part of the garbage is penetrated, such as when someone builds on a waste site and drill down through the waste, wastes away and leaks, reacts, rusts, or otherwise and some component of the waste gets into the water table, or percolates to the top and gets in air, streams, dust which is airborne, or otherwise, well, then, you have harmful pollution, possibly.
Think of it like this. If someone wanted to plant the materials you are calling garbage under your skin, even small chopped up pieces of it, in the variety that you are supposing is called garbage - would you think it was okay? If you can't put it in your cells, you probably shouldn't put it in the land. Or, at least, if you DO put it in the land, consider that you are doing some polluting. There is rationale reasons to do some polluting, from a economic and commercial and political and planned survival point of view, but it is not without a trade off in a loss of land, or loss of health, or loss of ecosystems, or otherwise. And, some good can come from composting and return of organic material to soil.
Finally, not all organics are good. For the most part any concentration of anything in one place is probably not 'good' for the earth. Manure from pigs and cows, severely causes poisoning of watersheds, underground water tables and wells, and surface land, not to mention the air quality. So while a pile of dung in the prairie or middle of a field may be fine, and decay, and fertilize, and result in enrichment of the soil in that one spot, a feed lot or a barnyard, may have so much in one place that run off, and leaching into and (if buried) out of the ground can cause real damage.
Which continent is the most significant cause of air pollution?
Asia.1:high population.2:high population=lots of people using cars and spreading fumes into the air.
What is Difference between treated sewage and untreated sewage?
Untreated sewage is waate product from factorries, nuclear facillities and untreated human waste. This waste is highly dangerous as it contains bacteria, virus, etc...
This waste if mixed with river water or water system can cause large damage not just to human but aquatic life aswell.
Treated sewage is sewage which is filtered and treated with chlorines and other chemical, after the process the water is ready to be mixed with river, etc.
This water is even ready to drink.
What are some examples of point source pollution in North Carolina?
How does wind and water shape landforms of New Jersey?
Wind shapes landforms by erosion, overtime wind carries dirt, sand, rocks, and other loose particles on the surface. Water shapes landforms by waves, as the waves hit the surface they knock off rock, dirt, sand, and other loose particles.
What are the tiny solids and liquid droplets in the atmosphere?
Liquid droplets in air are called mists, smaller droplets are aerosols. Solid particulates are dust, smaller sized ar fumes.
Which is a water-conserving mechanism in the grasshopper?
