What should we do to decrease noise pollution?
One very effective way to reduce motorcycle noise pollution is for states, cities and towns to adopt and enforce the EPA label law. All motorcycles made after 1982 must have an EPA noise certified exhaust with a label embossed into the muffler. It's illegal under federal law to replace the noise certified exhaust with one that isn't certified or to tamper with the legal muffler to make more noise.
The city of Denver enacted an EPA label-based ordinance in 2007 and in less than two years mostly solved their motorcycle noise pollution problem with consistent enforcement and fines starting at $500. There's more information about this at the Maine Citizens For Quiet Motorvehicles Facebook page.
How is acid rain harmful to animals and plants?
How acid rain is so harmful to animals and plants is that most living creatures need water to live but acid rain is pollution and if that gets in a plants, or animals water supply they either drink or absorb it, and because of the pollutants and chemicals that are in acid rain it can cause digesting problems to animals, and growing problems to plants. Also if a plants absorbs the acid rain, and an animal eats them it will surely kill them in a short while
Which part of a nuclear power plant converts ME of turbines into EE?
the electrical alternator equipment converts mechanical / physical energy into electrical energy by using an exciter system to turn the rotor into a large rotating magnet device , which causes a large electro-magnetic field to be generated
around the stator and then a large current to be generated in the electrical windings of the stator itself.
Do landfills contaminate water?
A properly designed and operated landfill is isolated from the groundwater and does not contaminate it.The key words are properly designed and operated.
Properly designed includes features to seal the bottom of the landfill with compacted clay or a plastic liner and sometimes both. It also includes siting that operation in an area not prone to flooding or infiltration. The design includes operating procedures, control odf acceptable materials, groundwater sampling around the dire and equipment to drain and treat any liquid acumulation.
Properly operated includes preserving the liner, limiting daily deposits, covering open deposits quick;y and regularly, record keeping. inspection of incoming waste, compliance with legislated requirements, security to prevent improper dumping or scavenging, training of operators and periodic third party audits.

Why might a scientist studying water pollution work with percents less then one?
The majority of pollutants reach levels that cause environmental impacts at part per million levels, this is 0.00001%. These levels, if expressed as percents, would require extensive careful reading to get correct and present oportunites for typogtaphical errors. AT lower levels such as part per billions this problem becomes even more evident.
Thypical pollutant level limits for metals are generally 1 ppm, for phenols 15 ppb.
Is car exhaust a point or non-point source?
