Noise Pollution

Remedial measures for plastic bag pollution include implementing bans or fees on plastic bags, promoting the use of reusable bags, implementing recycling programs specifically for plastic bags, and educating the public about the environmental impact of plastic bags. Efforts to reduce single-use plastics and promote sustainable alternatives are crucial in addressing plastic bag pollution.

Noise pollution refers to excessive, disturbing, or unwanted noise that disrupts the natural environment or human activities. It can be caused by various sources such as traffic, industrial activities, construction, and recreational events. Prolonged exposure to noise pollution can lead to various health issues including hearing loss, stress, and sleep disturbances.

Natural resources should be conserved because in the future we will be needing resources such as oil and petrol for many purposes and instead of using fossil fuels for producing energy and polluting environment and it improves the life span of it.

1) Increased population leads to more waste, garbage and byproducts.

2) Natural habitats destroyed for housing purposes

3) Poor waste management causes the spread of disease and pollution

4) Food demand increases and more land needs to be cleared for food production

5) High density of people can lead to conflicts and the quick spread of health problems

Electronic e-mail consumes a small amount of electricity in its composition, delivery, and subsequent reception and reading. If the electricity is generated via some renewable resource or by nuclear energy, very little carbon dioxide is emitted, over all. If one assumes all the energy used to produce the computer used to transmit the e-mail, mine the sand (for optical fiber) or copper used to string the transmission cables, and so on, more CO2 is liberated. This, however, is amortized by the volume of data processed by the computer and the information sent over the line. Economies of scale make e-mail transmission far more economical, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, than sending messages written on scraps of paper.

In terms of greenhouse gas emissions e-mail is probably the most efficient means of communication ever developed, overall. Composition of the e-mail requires the greatest amount of time. A laptop uses anywhere from 15 to 45 watts. A desktop PC consumes between 60 and 250 watts. The message then passes through a router to the mail server of your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Their equipment handles it a tiny fraction of a second, in parsing the address to determine where it should go. The message may typically take 20 to 40 hops to reach the destination of the recipient's mail server. If their mail reader polls the server every minute they are probably wasting some energy. It may sit on the server a few minutes or a few days--eventually the recipient's mail client will pull it onto their PC and they will read it. Reading is usually much quicker than writing, so the energy use at that end will be less.

As more and more energy is derived from non fossil fuel sources, the total CO2 emissions will decline. In the grand scheme of things, the CO2 emitted from driving to meet a person enormously dwarfs the CO2 emitted by even millions of e-mails and instant messages.

Generally the weather is not worse at night. In fact without the heating of the sun during the day, the weather becomes more settled and steady at night. Without the sun shining, it is, however, colder at night. Whether this constitutes "worse weather" depends upon whether it is desirable to be cooler or not. The only disadvantage of the night in relation to weather, is that certain weather phenomenon cannot be visually detected at night, for example one cannot see a tornado coming at night, or a tsunami. It is well known to aircraft pilots that it is easier to fly at night with calmer weather and less turbulence than during the day.

The whistle sound is caused by air disturbances around the car, most likely near a window seal more than likely you either have a bad seal around one of your doors or windows or the doors are not shut all the way or your windows are not up all the way

one thing that can propagate sound is if you were to place somthing of which emmits sound in a vacum. The sound waves will propagate in the vacum, because The matter which supports the sound called the medium no longer exists. Source, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

The familiar "kilo" pefix (Kilometer, kilogram) is one thousand or 103 times bigger than the base measurement. The system has prefixes going up to "yotta" or 1024 (1 followed by 24 zeros) times the base measurement The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98 × 1024 kg or 5,980.0 yottagrams (5,980 Yg)

you have to subtract the cost at the lowest activity from the cost the the highest activity then subtract the lowest activity from the highest activity and divide both answers you got. in that way you find the variable cost.

I'm guessing your talking about telephone. The pulse system: When you push a number on your phone, it transmit a certain amount of pulse. the receiving circuit will count the number of pulses that your telephone transmited to determined that number that was pressed. The tone system: When you push a number on your phone, 2 different tones (or sinus) are transmited. There are 4 lines and 3 columns on the keypad and there are 1 tone for each line and 1 tone for each column.

So when you push "1", the first line's tone and the first column's tone are both transmitted at the same time.

The receiving circuit listens and figure out the number you pushed by analyzing the 2 tones. The tone style is also known as "DTMF" Older phones with rotary dials generate pulses that may not be recognized by by modern DTMF-only systems such as Internet based VOIP phone services, and some fibre optic (FIOS) phone services. In order to use a pulse-only phone on a DTMF (tone-only) phone service you will need a pulse to tone converter like the Oldphoneworks LPT-310 Pulse to Tone Converter (www.oldphoneworks.com), or the Rotatone Pulse to Tone Converter (www.rotatone.com).

We have yet to find out what the implications are of trying to control nature.

Using agrochemicals has so many variables that I do not believe we will fully realize the total impact before it is too late to save the planet for human habitation. Many crops cannot be grown without specific agrochemicals. So, if anything goes wrong with the availability of those chemicals, then the food supply for millions, if not billions, of people will be in jepardy.

Agitation prevents sediment or particles from settling at the bottom of a container or solution.

Sounds like you are hearing lifter noise. If this engine has solid lifters, then they can be adjusted to remove most of the noise. If it has hydraulic lifters, try pouring one can of Seafoam Cleaner in the crankcase with the oil. Seafoam can be purchased at most auto parts stores. Drive the car for 500 miles and then change the oil & filter. Repeat if necessary. This may or may not help.

Most autistic individuals hate loud noises because it's too bothersome and it can even hurt their ears. And can even cause damage to their ears. And most of the time loud noises-even if different loud noises happen all at once they can cause them to lose their focus on some things. And it can even cause trouble sleeping. For me, I really hate the sound of rain and thunder at night. That does get really disturbing. Even the sound of traffic. Wearing headphones/earphones and carrying an mp3 player is a good option.

How can noise break your concentration? Ya know, there are times when it just does. You see your teammate limping a bit from an earlier hard tackle. You, yourself are tired, and you're hurting from the heavy contact. And today it's very hot. Oh, and your team is down a goal with ten minutes to go. All the negative factors pressing on you are cutting into your quality of play. You've been delivering your best stuff all game, but they've been able to get over on you. Now a ball suddenly pops out toward the touch line after a player from each team simultaneously strikes it. You take a step towards the ball and the sideline erupts in a loud yell. And then it happens: you look away from the ball. Oops. What may very well have happened was that the noise broke your concentration. You lost your focus, dude. The psychology of the game, of any sport, can be looked at as a management problem. In the scenario above, a combination of factors was built up on one side of the psychological balance with you and your concentration, your focus, on the other. You were okay until the addition of the noise caused the scale to tip away from your favor. A coach, players, officials - whoever - must do what they need to do while all this noise comes and goes around them. Normally we can block noise out. It's there, but it doesn't keep us from what we need to do. But noise can break concentration when the effect on our heads is such that we can't do our best, and it usually has partners in crime that all work to distract us. Training in mental toughness can better equip us to defend ourselves against this, but that's another topic.... Good luck.

The noise control number refers to the maximum allowable noise level in a specific area or environment. It represents the decibel (dB) limit set by regulations or guidelines to control noise pollution and protect people from excessive noise. The specific noise control number can vary depending on the location and the purpose of the area (e.g., residential, industrial, commercial).

Persistent loud noises, yes

dj pete tong learned that out that hard way after he completely lost his hearing after playing night clubs for years of his life.

But he did overcome this as he learned to feel the bass with his feet and made some more music that made top of the dance charts

Biomagnification of pesticides basically means that the concentration of the substance exceeds what it should be. This makes the pesticide more powerful and harmful.

Computer users commonly maximise and minimise application windows. Maximising a window usually makes that window fill almost the entire screen. Minimising a window usually shrinks the window down to pretty much just a button placed on the taskbar. That button can then be clicked to restore the window to it's previous size.

Reducing waste means cutting down the amount of garbage you throw away. You can do this by recycling more, using a worm farm, compost bin or chickens or guineapigs to deal with organic waste, and reducing your purchase of useless consumables and over-packaged, multi-wrapped food. Refusing bags at fast food counters and supermarkets is a good step!

THE HORRIBLE pollution is caused by many different stuff in the earth like cars trucks boats ec; Well pollution affects the lives of people and animals on the earth by sending out chemicals to our clean air ' water and ec;We can change this all by carpooling riding bikes the 3 r's and ec;.

The four 'R's of pollution prevention are Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover. This action plan can help individuals, businesses, and governments to reduce their environmental footprint, while conserving energy and resources.

• Reduce - This means to reduce the amount of materials used, such as choosing reusable containers over disposable ones and using smaller packaging. It also involves reducing energy use and emissions.
• Reuse - This involves finding ways to use products more than once, such as reusing bags and containers, donating clothes and furniture, and using refillable pens and markers.
• Recycle - This involves collecting, sorting and processing items, such as paper, plastic, glass, metal, and organic materials, so they can be made into new products.
• Recover - This involves recovering energy from waste, such as composting organic waste and burning combustible materials to generate electricity or heat.

By utilizing the four 'R's of pollution prevention, we can help to protect our environment and conserve resources for future generations.

The loudest noise or sound is The Bloop because in 1997, U.S. NOAA heard a sound that is never been heard of that is also the loudest sound ever. The sound can cause from more than 5,000 km away from it's source. If it is an animal, it is louder and bigger than the loudest animal and the biggest animal in Earth.
