Pollution

Sewerage per capita is essentially the same as water use. In America the water use rate is 69.3 gallons a day. Toilets, clothes washers and showers account for over 60% of the total. Other countries are considerably lower.

Ocean pollution can be saved by snipping 6 pack rings. You know, the kind that you get soda in? When those get in to the ocean, they are practically killing hundreds of sea creatures. Fish can get caught in them, Sea turtles eat them, pelicans or seagulls can get them stuck on their beak or neck when hunting for fish. What we can do is snip them. You know, taking a pair of scissors and snipping each ring. This will save hundreds of animals alone, just by your help!

Don't ever litter. When on a boat or in the car don't litter. Through garbage in trash cans where it belongs. If you own a boat or know someone who does, keep boat in good condition. Make sure the boat isn't leaking gas or oil into the water. Use low or non toxic paints on outside of boats to cut down on chemicals going into the water.

Food wastes, paper, cardboard, plastics, textiles, leather, yard waste, wood, glass, metals, ashes, housekeeping wastes, packaging, construction and demolition materials, hazardous wastes, special wastes, steel, concrete, dirt, street sweepings, landscape and tree trimmings, general wastes from parks, beaches, and other recreational areas, sludge, industrial process wastes, scrap materials, off-specification products, slay, tailings, spoiled food wastes, agricultural wastes, bulky items, consumer electronics, white goods, batteries, oil, tires, and pesticides.

There are many negative effects that are encountered due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Rapid industrialization is causing severe pollution in waterways, the air, and on land due to not having proper the right systems in place to contain the impurities released from manufacturing companies. With rapid urbanization taking place at the same time the individuals living in these areas are finding themselves being subjected to serious health and living hazards.

Human waste is heavier than water, so it sinks to the bottom. Then, the water is pumped through a pipe leaving the heavier substances behind, and the waste is disposed of.
Hope this helps. :)

although water is renewable it is not physically or morally correct to waste what oters dont have so maybe donate water or just cut down on cost, not to mention how you will also save money.

In warm and wet surroundings, just a few days. In a warm and dry place, years!

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 Earth has been facing immense pollution from our garbage and consumption. The latest deadly pollution is plastic bags that fill up the landfills. With plastic bags becoming a growing concern, cotton bag has become the new way to help stop the pollution. With plastic bag pollution being a rising concern, many shoppers need to start using reusable cotton bags in order to stop the pollution. Plastic bag pollution is very deadly and takes hundreds of years to break down. Even if the component is broken done, the deadly chemicals will go into the ground and water system. By reducing the usage of plastic bag, Earth can recuperate. That's why cotton bags should be used world wide to help reduce the pollution. It is our generation to stop the pollution and start using cotton bags as the solution. With global warming going out of hand from gas exhaustion, we don't need any more problems especially plastic bags that are harmful when broken down naturally. These broken down elements cause sickness and destruction to the air, soil and water system. Use cotton canvas bags starting today as a way to stop the plastic pollution that is becoming a major threat to the environment. Our lives are threatened ever more from the growing usage of plastic bags. It is time you bring a canvas bag to shopping the next time you go to a supermarket.

If something is biodegradable, that means that it will break down and rot away. Virtually any kind of food is biodegradable, whereas plastic containers or bags are non-biodegradable. That is, they don't rot. They just sit around causing problems for animals and the environment.

Trash is effecting animals on Earth by:

new (unnatural) food they eat in garbage

causing new diseases in an area where trash is left

causing some animals to choke because they try to eat it

taking up space that the animals once called home

damaging the natural balance of that ecosystem

That depends on whether or not the body becomes a zombie or not. Zombological scientists have determined that zombification arrests the process of decomposition. The addition of nutrients obtained from feeding on the living revitalize zombie flesh to a pre-decayed state. However, the revitalized flesh is still dead from a biological standpoint. Decomposition will again restart when the zombie flesh is no longer viable in its undead state. This occurs when the zombie does not get its nutritional %DV and starves, either from wandering around in areas lacking readily available organisms such as deserts or arctic environments or inadvertantly falling into water, becoming waterlogged and sinking to the bottom where it is inequipped to catch sufficient food.

The wastes that do not get mixed with the soil are called non-biodegradable wastes. They pollute the land and destroy our environment. But, this can be prevented. The metallic, plastic or glass wastes can be reused, recycled, reduced or replaced. Nowadays many people are using recycled stuffs.

An abyss of answers can arise to this question. There are many ways we can reduce water pollution. Too list a few: educate and inform the population of the world to what pollution is and how to control and contain any and all spills, demand from our governmental leaders harsher penalties when pollution occurs, petition governments to start enforcing the laws already in place, (laws are not enforced 100 % : i would reason that 1/2 of spills or pollution is not accounted for because of politics, laziness, and a lack of people in the workforce to enforce these laws. These are key reasons why so much pollution is still tolerated.) The US coast Guard does not have enough manpower to have full blown environmental police dedicated to charging people with violations. There is a need for environental police and no one to fill it. When was the last time you heard of anyone getting a ticket for littering, or spilling oil over the side of their boat? I bet you can not name that many. Finally, citizens need to be proactive in reporting all spills even if it is a teapoon of a harmful substance, wheter it is there self or another party involved. The Federal Government requires that the National Response Center (1-800-424-8802) be notified by the responsible party for the release or discharge of any oil, product or hazardous substance. Failure to notify or deliberately discharging can lead to criminal penalties. Or a bystander can call it in. Also note, citizens should petition that a finder's fee with a heavy reward fee be paid to the citizen that reported the spill if it is documented and investigated in accordance with governmental procedureds ( i.e. US Coast Guard procedures should be followed when conducting a spill report to be eligible for the reward ). The citizens should petition for a higher penalty fee to allocate money towards the finder fee for reporting a pollution spill.

Aluminum foil can take upwards of four hundred years to decompose without any assistance. That time can be reduced by exposure to certain acids or chemicals.

Over time, trash in landfills decomposes. The rate of decomposition varies based on the material, moisture and amount of oxygen. Landfill operators try to maximize the compaction of the material in a landfill threfore reducing the available oxygen available for the decomposition process. When the trash decomposes, methane gas is released. The amount of gas has to be controlled by venting or capturing it to avoid underground fires.

In general, yes.

The sometimes iridescent "oil film" seen on water surfaces may be crude oil, which is modestly toxic to people; used motor oil, which is much more toxic and carcinogenic; gasoline, which is carcinogenic (especially premium unleaded grades); or other hydrocarbon subsances that may be poisonous or unhealthful. There are other film-forming substances that may appear on water, that may be harmless, but a swimmer won't be able to differentiate these from the toxic slicks.


If oil films or slicks are seen, it is best not to swim in or drink the water. If swimming or drinking are unavoidable, stay away from the oil slick, or pour it off before drinking. Make every effort to avoid inhaling or swallowing the slick material. If the oily material gets on the skin, bathe with mild dish detergent (such as Palmolive) to remove it. If swallowed, take 2-3 tablespoons of mineral oil by mouth, which should eliminate the material from the system, and consult a health practitioner if available.

Landfills are actually rubbish, so they will dirty the ground and make it look very unsightly. There will be a stench in the air as well. Groundwater and soil might be contaminated, affecting people living in the area.

RECYCLE! I went from a full trash can to 1 bag of garbage a week. Anything in the kitchen that is not dairy or meat can go into a compost bin including paper plates and sugar packets. All packages that you buy are recycleable. Try that and it will reduce your garbage level.

Solutions to thermal pollution include altering environment of watercourse, ooling the water in cooling towers before it is released into the environment, and adding or removing heat. Thermal pollution is the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperature.

Biodegradable materials are substances can be consumed by microorganisms (can be decomposed). Food waste, paper, linens, and wood are all examples. On the other hand, most things like metal, ceramics, and plastic are not readily biodegradable.

There are many reasons why fish are dieing in the sea.

1.Oil spills

2.Pollution

3.Other animals

4.People being stupid with dynamite and electricity

It damages it in many ways firstly it makes all the creatuees die the end ;)
