What is the effect on the environment if the wombat goes extinct?

Clearing for farmland has greatly reduced the wombat's habitat, and this, together with competition for food from sheep and cattle, has created a critical situation for the survival of the species. The Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat is Queensland's most endangered marsupial, having been reduced to just over 100 wombats in the wild, restricted to Epping Forest National Park near Clermont. Other wombat species are also subject to loss of habitat, mostly through agriculture, but also through the ever-increasing spread of city and town boundaries, and subsequent housing and industrial developments.

What are the effects of DDT with animals?

DDT is a pesticide that was used in the past to control insects and to prevent them from damaging crops. The problem with DDT is that it accumulates in the environment and remains in the muscles of animals and fish. When birds consume too much DDT, such as by eating fish, they are unable to make hard shells on their eggs, resulting in very few new babies being born in certain bird populations, such as pelicans.

When do you experience a case of traffic jam?

A traffic jam is a problem with the flow of traffic on a road cause by all cars stopping momentarily or for a long period of time. It is similar to slug flow in piping systems when laminate flow turns to turbulent flow. It is caused by accidents, weather conditions leading to road hazards, poor driving skills, poor coordination of traffic lights, or the poor design of merges and other intersections. It has little to do with the number of cars on a road as the roads can be designed for almost any flow.

How does red tide affect your food supply?

If you live in the United States, unless the majority of your protein is fish you've caught yourself, a red tide will not affect your food supply. Most American grocers purchase fish farmed in foreign countries. A red tide will kill a lot of local fish, and they wash up on shore -- pretty unpleasant. The algae that cause a red tide can, in great numbers, bother you if you're asthmatic. That's the extent of the damage, as far as those of us above the water are concerned.

How do you fix the pollution?

Step 1 Control water pollution in your home by using non-toxic soaps, detergents and cleaning products. Refrain from the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on your lawn and gardens. Always dispose of paints, motor oil, gasoline, antifreeze and other harmful chemicals in accordance with your local laws and safety regulations. Step 2 Protect groundwater, which is critical for drinking water, irrigation systems and natural ecosystems. If you are using chemicals that may be harmful to the environment, store them correctly. Improperly stored chemicals can slowly seep into the groundwater system, so keep them in tightly sealed containers, inside of structures with cement floors, to avoid groundwater contamination. Step 3 Prevent polluted runoff and soil erosion. Polluted runoff is caused when rain washes toxic pollutants into surface waters from sources that include city streets, farms, or logging and mining sites. Plant bushes and trees along roads and natural water sources. The roots of trees and bushes can slow the speed of runoff and erosion, protecting surface water. Step 4 Write letters to your state representative and congressman to express your concerns about water pollution. Ask them to promote more sustainable agricultural methods and mention that you feel it is time for Congress to create and enforce stricter mandatory laws regarding water pollution.

What are the health hazards that can be caused by telecommunication masts to people living within close range?

The electromagnetic radiation (EM) from a cell phone hub is considerable, but it poses little threat to individuals on the ground around the antenna array. Even if they live close by. This kind of EM radiation does affect tissue, but it is not ionizing radiation. Some extremely minor energy absorption will take place; the tissue will take some damage when the radiation disrupts chemical processes, but it would be something that an individual would not generally notice.

There is a much more significant threat posed to individuals by this technology, and it is to the mobile phone user. Holding a cell phone up to one's head for long periods of time will cause more tissue damage to someone than living near a cell phone hub. Even though the phone's radiation is low power, it's right against the side of the head. And given the length of time some people spend on these devices, some causal connections to pathology will emerge if they haven't already been observed. You can't hold an RF (radio frequency) source, even a low-powered one, against the side of your head for an hour a day every day and expect no ill effects in time.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using unleaded gasoline?

Advantages:
  • Even at the rapidly rising cost, it is still cheaper than any other fuel
  • petrol has higher energy density than almost any other form of energy -- so petrol lets vehicles travel further between refills than almost any other form of energy.
  • Cheaper to run
  • Many people have a car that only runs on petrol, so it's cheaper to keep buying more petrol than to buy a new vehicle that runs on some other form of energy.
Disadvantages:
  • gasoline is that is made from a type of petroleum not common in the US (light sweet crude) and does not burn clean enough even with current high tech and costly fuel systems. Unlike an engine that runs on gaseous fuels such as CNG (compressed natural gas) or LP (liquid propane) and others you can breathe the exhaust with exception of the oxygen depletion as determined by EPA air quality standards. NO gasoline engine regardless of any add on high tech systems can come near to making this claim (unless the gasoline is converted into a true gas prior to combustion).
  • we have a finite supply of petroleum
  • it is a pollutant
  • Some people have a car that runs on some other form of energy, so it's cheaper to keep buying that form of energy than to buy a new vehicle that runs on petrol.

Why does the water stop flowing in a new faucet after a few minutes?

I have seen this type of thing happen when there is a bit of junk in a line that falls back when the flow has stopped, and then move back with the flow to stop it when it gets to a point where the water is restricted. More often, I have seen it to be just something odd about the faucet making it creep off from the flow of the water going through it.
