Pollution

It should not be less than 20 micron

big.................. very big................. ok......VERY BIG

Yes. It is spilling and a portion of the spill is being captured by the marine riser and cap system. BP has stated that this system is not capturing all the oil.

Yes.

Specific to the BP spill, I feel that it is a very remote possibility at this point. There was an article recently that oil was found "inland" in Florida, but to go any distance inland is very difficult as the fresh water streams and rivers all flow outwards to the Gulf and Atlantic ocean.

I don't know of any case where an offshore oil spill (tanker accident, offshore blow-outs) contaminate groundwater. There have been some oil spills as a result of war (Iran-Iraq war, Nigerian civil war, Angola, Gulf war) where some groundwater conamination could be possible.

Groundwater contamination does occur from oil and other hazardous chemicals seeping into the ground and ultimately contaminating the aquifer. There are numerous cases of leakage from leaking storage tanks, settling pits, pipelines and water injection wells (all related to the oil industry) causing groundwater contamination. Gasoline station storage tanks leakage can cause groundwater contamination.

Of course, within the US, any activity that results in contamination of drinking water sources, will be immediately shut down. Gas stations are under strict federal regulations as to the specifications of gasoline storage tanks.

The spilled volume numbers as of June 9, given here are subject to revision. The Joint Command has stated that the task force is busy updating their numbers.

What I can say without ambiguity, is that oil has been flowing into the Gulf for 11 days in April, 31 days in May and 9 days in June, or 51 days. Also, there are 42 gallons in a barrel.

So, total rate = 51 x average rate. Yet, the average rate has been changing as BP has been fighting this blow out. So, I don't have any official tally and as far as I can tell, there isn't one at present. The media seems to prefer to use the very largest number they can find, to justify the headline, up to X million gallons have been spilled.

Previously, there was a range given by the Task Force using one method, as 12,000 to 19,000 barrels per day, and a range of 12,000 to 25,000 barrels per day (bopd) using a second method. Now, the latest rate from the lower marine riser is around 16,000 barrels per day, so, the upper end of these ranges seems more likely.

So, if I assume 20,000 bopd are coming out, 51 x 20,000 or 1020 thousand barrels (MBBL) may have come out. However, there are some notable deductions, because the insert tool was capturing some of the oil and now the marine riser appears to have capture a lot of the oil. Finally, it was estimated that the cutting of the marine riser increase the rate by 20%. So, if I use a rate of 15,000 for 30 days, 10,000 for 15 days, and 4,000 for 6 days, might be a better guess, or (450 + 150 + 24) = 624 MBBL. A lot of this oil has been evaporated, burned or skimmed, so the surface oil may be considerably less than 624 MBBL. Some estimates have been that 40% may eventually evaporate, bringing the total to 374 MBBL or 15.7 million gallons.

So, final answer, subject to change, is 42 million gallons out of the well, but 16 million gallons taking into consideration evaporation and capture.

Yes you can. However, the high fibre content of rabbit feces will make them difficult to be processed in a wastewater plant. If you flush to a septic pit it will soon become clogged with undigested fibre.

We installed a WWTPlant for a small 150 rabbit farm and the septic tank became clogged in barely two weeks.

The best solution to rabbit waste processing is vermiculture. Let the worms eart and digest them, and turn it into fertilizer.

The only place to throw trash is into a trash can to be taken to the land fill which is growing at rapidly record speeds, taking up room for parks, schools, and businesses. Make sure you don't throw away something recyclable!

Chips as in Computerchips are made by various metals, silicone and plastic or ceramics.

Buried in ground, the metal may dissolve mostly over many years.

Gold filaments present wont decompose naturally, but they do not harm environment either.

Plastic and ceramic parts can most likely be found after thousands of years depending on the conditions where they are buried.

I would suppose we do not seriously expect computerchips to decompose in nature. They are ment for recycling and should be handed in to such facilities capable of dealing with them properly.

In writing a report on any subject, you must organize your ideas. Many times, the first paragraph can be the hardest to write. After writing a report, you may want to go back and improve the first and last paragraph.

You might want to write a report on clean up efforts, but you need an introductory paragraph that briefly describes the accident. The when, what, where, why and how are all important. For instance, when did the oil first start to spill? What company was in charge of the rig? How deep was the water where they were drilling? This information should be presented first.

Now if you want to write about the clean up, then write down 3 or 4 ways that oil can be cleaned up. For example, it can be skimmed from the surface by boats. It can be burned using controlled burn booms. It can be picked up on beaches. Now for each of these ideas, see if you can find out more information. What does a skimmer look like?

Or perhaps you want to write a paragraph showing how this and other oil spills harm the environment. You can discuss the various types of marine life and the harm that oil spills can cause.

There are a lot of topics to write about. One topic can be the role of volunteers in the clean up.

Finally, there should be a clear opening and concluding statement. In your opening, remember you are investigating something that is in the news and important to many people. Try to think of why this is important. In your concluding statement, try to think of what you feel summarizes the information that has been presented. You can also add a statement of what you expect to happen in the future.

Good luck.

It is spreading to Louisiana, Florida, and Alaska

cities are affected by smog

BP British Petroleum is responsible for the oil spill, which occurred when one of the oil rigs blew up and ripped open a pipe, which led to oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.

It is basically injecting liquids into the well which have a higher density than water, most likely mud, under pressure into the well to reduce pressure, finishing off with cement after the well is shut off and the mud is in place. This should stop the leak permanently.

When clearing the forest by burning down trees cause water pollution because the smoke will form acid rain and go into the water where we drink... Read more on my page www.spheal.com and comment!

Skimmers have limitations. It is very hard to skim off oil if oil is continuing to flow from the well. However, the skimmers are being employed at the most critical areas of the spill where they can be most effective, in hopes of reducing environmental damage.

When you mine, you can be destroying homes of animals, and disrupting natural habitats.

The Answer to your question is composting

They said it isn't supposed to stop it. It would make it to where they can load it on a tanker instead of free flow in the gulf.

one of jess jacksons riddles

it's causing global war but mostly decomposes very, very slowly.

Sewage

i do not no

my business teacher just told me there is one in bishops cleeve. hehehe im so naughty.

It contains phosphates which are so small that there is no way of getting rid of them. Phosphates speed up plant growth. As they enter lakes and rivers by sewage systems they cause water plants such as algae to grow in huge sizes. These plants block the sunlight causing other water plants to stop producing oxygen. This causes fish to die.
