Who are the people that should practice conservation?
All people should practice conservation of energy, water, paper, transportation, ... etc for the benefit of environment and future generations.
When would a facility be required to have a spill prevention control and countermeasure plan?
Spill prevention control (and containment), including countermeasure plans, should be in place from the very start. For instance, a 'bund' is a low, raised mound or wall surrounding storage tanks. It is designed to capture (contain) any spillage (oil, petrol, toxic liquid chemicals, etc.) from escaping outside the immediate area of the bund. Thus allowing time to use countermeasures to clean up the spillage safely.
What pollution does the manufacturing of plastics cause?
The manufacturing of plastics causes significant air, water, and soil pollution. Air pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and greenhouse gases, are released during the production process, contributing to climate change and respiratory issues. Water pollution occurs when harmful chemicals and plastic micro-particles are discharged into waterways, affecting aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, the extraction of fossil fuels for plastic production can lead to soil contamination and habitat destruction.
Does burning biofuel cause pollution?
Burning any fuel can lead to some pollution the case of biofuels the pollution types may be:
- oil spills from tanks, drains and transportation
- smoke from poorly controlled combustion
- nitrogen oxides
- carbon dioxide
- odours from combustion
- particulate (Carbon cenospheres) fallout from residual droplets of fuel
Can a bartender use physical force or stop customer from leaving?
No. Physical force could be considered assault. If they want to leave then they are allowed to leave.
Why is the countryside cleaner than cities?
Less pollution in the water and air.
The more people, the more trash.
How automobiles pollute the atmosphere?
When automobiles accelerate they use "Carbon Dioxide" which rises in the air. It mixes with some other gases in the air. These dissolve in the clouds and when these clouds burst acid rain is sprinkled on the lands. This can kill fish, corrode stonework as well as destroy plants and trees.
Marine dumping is the practice of throwing garbage or waste of any kind into the ocean to get rid of it.
What do cars have in their exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide?
Cars do not have anything in their exhaust to reduce carbon monoxide. A Catalytic Convertor in the Exhaust System is used to remove Carbon Monoxide from the exhaust gasses.
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Is there pollution in Singapore?
yes if there is any cars or machines that are working that needs fossil fuels then yes pollution is there at that place u might not see it but it is in the air
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Underground injection?
The advantages are pretty weak. It's cheap ... but you get the following disadvantages for free:
- don't know where the waste went so it might come back to bite you
- you can't recover it to correct the problems
- it can cause earthquakes but you don't know where or when
- it can poison your water supply
- it can come back long after you forgot it was there
- people who are hurt by the waste will remember it was you that caused the problem and want you to correct it and if that won't happen, a chance to make you pay.
Waste is a material that no longer serves a purpose and so is thrown away. In
some cases what one person discards may be re-used by somebody else. All
wasters is particularly hazardous: If not carefully disposed of, it will have an impact
on the environment, whether it be unsightly litter in urban streets or contaminated
air, soil or water. But what is equally important about waste is that it is recyclable.
For example, if all human, animal and solid wastes are recycled back to soil, then
we do not need inorganic fertilizers to maintain the high yields of crops. Today
India produces 180 million tonnes of food grains and consumer 13 million tonnes of
inorganic fertilizers at a huge cost. Therefore, time has come when we have to look
at the waste not merely as an environment polluter but a recyclable material of
great potential and energy saver.
In India we produce 300 to 400 gms. of solid waste per person per day in town of
normal size. The figure is 500 to 800 gms. per capita per day in cities like Delhi and
Bombay. The problem in these cities is how to dispose such large mass of solid
waste daily and this poses a massive and expensive problem to the authorities. The
composition of average domestic dustbin can be broken down as follows :
10% Glass
30% Paper/Cardboard
9% Metals
3% Textiles
4% Plastics
23% Vegetable Waste
21% Dust, Cinders, Miscellaneous
Some of the waste on the other hand may also contain poisonous substances like
mercury's lead and cadmium from batteries, old medicines, household cleaning and
decorating chemicals and garden chemicals. Many of these chemicals are similar to
these found in industrial waste, although in low concentration.
How canpolitical determination prevent river pollution?
govt. should make stric law and also implement it. Govt. should also advertise and encourage the people not to pollute the water and not to throw the plastic, glass etc. into river......rahul
What do you think rural think about the pollution and mess cities creating?
It makes me sad, but I can't speek for all of us.
What are causes for atmosphere pollution and how can they prevented?
Things like cars, factories, waste, gas etc all cause pollution the government are finding a way to cut down on fuel and factories to stop pollution.
The United States has implemented only stopgap solutions for its major environmental issues; so although everything has been addressed, it has only been addressed in a superficial manner. I can assure you that more environmental turning points will be coming, in this century. That is inevitable.
What are the common greenhouse gases and how do they enhance the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide and methane. Human activity is releasing more and more of these gases from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).
So the natural greenhouse effect that has kept the earth warm for millions of years is being enhanced into an accelerated greenhouse effect.
How can water pollution make a environmental hazard?
They damage fish as most toxins in the water can harm the fish. Some toxins have a mild effect on fish but some can be fatal. Water pollution can also suffocate the fish if algea forms on the lake/ river because the fish lose oxygen.
These are some of the points just look it up on the web.
Where would a river be more polluted by?
It IS MOST POLLUTED BY TRASH OR GARBAGE BECAUSE THAT IS ACTUALLY CALLED LITTERING. Trash has everything in it so is garbage it has soda bottles, dirty pampers, tissue paper ,EVERYTHING YOU CAN GO ON ON AND ON!
