What are the fuels used in cooking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fuels burned for cooking are usually burned in conditions of plentiful air and low temperatures so the production of CO and NOx is low. Burning of biomass can create organic emissions as volatiles are boiled out of the unburned material. Carbon dioxide emissions are lowest with methane and highest with coal, peat and charcoal.

How does air pollution effect us?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

* When we breathe it in, it puts the chemicals in our bodies. Those can make us sick or cause cancer or other sicknesses and some without a cure. * The pollution in the air combines with rain clouds to form acid rain. This acidic rain eats away at statues, harms trees, and kills fish in ponds and if we eat those fish it gets in our body.

What can be solutions to environmental problems?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

3'R's are the solution, REDUCE, RECYCLE & REUSE

REDUCE -

Consumption of natural resources to the extent possible

Emission of carbon into atmosphere

Developmental projects affecting environment

Human activities acclerating global warming and climate changes

Deforestation for developmental activities

Consumption of non biodegradable materials in every day life

Human activities causing pollution of water bodies, air, forests, soil

Consumption of energy to reduce pollution and exploitation of nature

RECYCLE -

All wasted/spent natural resources to reduce their consumption

All used materials with the available technologies

All used materials manufactured with trees/plants to reduce deforestation

REUSE -

All spent natural resources to reduce more fresh consumption

All materials manufactured with trees/plants for their conservation

All recycled materials to reduce the demand

ALSO: Education. It is not this simple to solve our current-day environmental problems. There has to be a paradigm shift in our way of thought and the way we perceive our environment. Still, these ideas are being very much debated.

How can a company solve pollution?

Asked by Wiki User

We may not have chance to investigate and report the industry that emit pollution. Current logistic system allow sub-contracting manufacturing overseas. The least we can do is not buying goods from company without ISO certified or one with Carbon emission label etc.

Why were the Air Jordan 1 shoes illegal in the NBA?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On October 18th, 1985, NBA commissioner David Stern banned the Air Jordan I sneaker from the NBA. He felt that they failed to meet on-court dress codes and did not match the uniform of the Chicago Bulls. Commissioner David Stern began fining Michael Jordan $5,000 every time he wore the Air Jordan I's on the court. Nike paid the fine and continued to have Michael wear the shoes. In doing so, the popularity of the product skyrocketed and sales were astronomical for the product.

Why is pollution prevent is better than pollution control?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We need to prevent pollution for a LOT of important reasons.For one,when we drive cars they give off carbon minoxide(in an enclosed space),carbon dioxide,nitrogen(which is VERY flammable),and other dangerous gases.These gases go up into our air and atmosphere and what happens?We breathe them in.

Secondly,All those gases going up into the atmosphere are messing with our atmosphere and making global warming happen which makes the temperatures get hotter.The increased temps will make the icebergs melt,making our oceans overflow and taking thousands of animals' homes who live in places like antarctica.

There's a hole in the ozone layer caused by all these gases. They are still making the hole bigger,very very slowly but surely.This will let harmful UV rays through(Basically radiation-it's rays from the sun) and those can give us cancer and other deadly things as such.

See,this is why it is SO IMPORTANT to stop pollution.

What are eco-friendly products?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eco-friendly products, also known as "green" products, are generally made with non-toxic, locally obtained, sustainable materials.

Ideally, the product's entire lifecycle -- sourcing of materials, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, sales, use, disposal and recycle or reuse -- should have minimal impact on the environment.

Examples of eco-friendly products include locally grown organic fruits and vegetables, handmade wooden toys with non-toxic paints, alternative fuel vehicles (hybrid and electric vehicles), and energy devices for buildings (solar panels and wind turbines).

For more complete information on eco-friendly products, sustainable design and green living, go to the link below for Green Living.

Are there mechanisms in place to treat the biodegradable and nonbiodegradable wastes separately?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
