Pollution

Acid rain is formed when water vapor condenses in the presence of atmospheric pollution, mainly sulphur dioxide released by the burning of fossil fuels, and converts to a weak sulphuric acid, and then falls as acid rain . When this enters the water system it changes the acid levels in the water , many fish have only a narrow tolerance for a change of acidity levels , if the change goes beyond their level of tolerance their health becomes affected, in many cases their fins start to be eaten away , their gills, which they obtain oxygen with, become inflamed, and the stress this causes , is usually what means a slow death for the fish.

Particles in the air get trapped with condensed water vapor and carried to the surface of the earth with rain. From there, it can seep down to the watertable and polute rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, etc.

No, it is not possible to consciously hold your breath until you die. The lungs would fill with carbon dioxide. The CO2 would trigger an autonomic response from the brain stem that tells the body "breathe!" Even if you tried to fight that autonomic response, you would then pass out from the high CO2 and the autonomic response would kick in anyway-- you would breathe.

it will make you have Asthma or skin cancer

One way that pollution affects our lives in that it results in an increase of free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals help to speed up the aging process and increase the risk of certain cancers. If you exercise outdoors, you are even more at risk. At peak times of day the air we breathe in can be quite unhealthful. To minimize impact try to exercise early in the day and away from heavily trafficked areas. This is not always possible so extra care needs to be taken with regards to your diet. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables from across the color spectrum will give you the aging and cancer fighting antioxidants that will help fight all of the 'gunk' you are taking in. As a competitive cyclist who routinely rides next to vehicle traffic, I also supplement my diet with an antioxidant beverage both before and after I ride. The one I have chosen also includes glucosamine which has made a noticeable difference in decreasing my joint pain.

One of the solutions to non-biodegradable wastes can be recycling. Another solution is to embrace the use of biodegradable products as an alternative.

Rubbish has many potential routes to follow after collection:

* It can be sorted into metals, plastics glass etc. for recycling * It can be incinerated for heat and power * It can be buried in a sanitary landfill

• Run off from roadways
• Run off from agricultural fertilisers and pesticides
• Leaching from unsafe (unlined) landfills
• Industrial waste discharge into waterways
• Cigarette butts and dog droppings from street drains
• Litter like plastic bags and bottles blown into waterways and dumped from boats.

Although carbon dioxide is produced when carbon based fuels is burned there are many other gses emitted. These include a wide range of organics (alkanes, aromatics), carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides. and water. This depends on the overall composition of the fuel and the conditions in the combustion zone. Hydrogen fuelled cars produce only water as a gaseous emission.

The general environment are the factors, conditions (such as legal, social and political situations) affecting people in an industry, It describes how society can affect a business or industry in general. These can be government regulations on trade practices,employment and taxation or even the economic climate: whether consumers have the purchasing power and willingness to buy products and services.

WHILE

The Industry enviroment

describes all conditions that can affect a business within the strict boundaries of a financial sector. It encompasses "Porter's Five Forces," such as rivalry between the industry's firms, the threat of new entrants, the threat of substitute products, the bargaining power of customers and the bargaining power of suppliers.

You polute every thing every where

This Q may not be answerable, as not all countries and locales monitor such. Also, a lot of waste does not go through any collection system, per se (i.e., littering), which, of course, has no accountability.

Pollution, and the currency value will probably drop

Today's Otago Daily Times cartoon has a pair of farmers alongside a stream - and saying "Its perfectly clear it is not the cows polluting the stream - its all those dead fish".

Not the answer you expected, but is indicative of one source of pollution.

Acid rain caused by SOx and NOx in the air can (and does) cause corrosion of metals and stone (limestone and marble) as ell as concrete.

Hydrogen sulfide can cause corroding of metals like iron and tarnish silver.

Salt spray can corrode iron and steel and erode concrete

Any material which is a powder or fume can deposit on surfaces and cause water and dew to wet the surface for a longer peiod of time - wet metals interact with oxygen and corrode faster. == ==

it depends how much you inhail. it would be best to go to a doctor or family gp.

good luck!

Yes we can prevent air polllution.

If we use like eco-friendly cars

Added: It refers to the emissions from the engine (of whatever type) that powers the vehicle. and in a larger sense to all the pollution of all the industries that manufacture automobiles, and vehicles of all types.

The fire aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig was caused by the uncontrollable flow of hydrocarbons from the beneath the rig floor, and from the goose-neck (flexible hose) on the derrick, coming in contact with an ignition source, which was most likely the engines which provide power to the rig.

More generally, a blow out does not necessarily cause fires on rigs. The blow out of the Macondo well happen very quickly and at very high rates of gas flow. An oil spill caused by a tanker or storage tanker accident would not normally create a fire.

More people using public transportation since that would make there be less cars on the road, reducing our carbon monoxide emissions. Also, more people could take a caravan (drive with others) to work for the same reason.

Other ways to reduce:

1. Reduce the use of cars --- Your car is a significant source of air pollution, so switching to a more gas-efficient vehicle will be a big help. Taking public transport to work rather than driving will reduces the number of carbon dioxide into the air.

2. Reduce Waste --- Manufacturing of unnecessary or disposable goods often produces air pollution, so reduced purchasing of disposables will help. In general, follow the solid waste mantra - "Reduce, Reuse, Repair, And Recycle" - and this will reduce air pollution as well from transporting, treating, or disposing of unnecessary wastes.

3. Eliminate Toxic Chemical Use at Home --- A surprising number of household or home shop chemicals are toxic and volatile. Many release vapors into the air, inside the home and out. This can be serious health threat to your family, and contributes to community-wide levels of air pollutants.

5. No Burn Barrels --- Northeast Wisconsin communities need to pass and enforce ordinances prohibiting individuals or businesses from burning trash in their back yards. This type of uncontrolled burning is extremely polluting, especially when many people are doing it. When trash is burned incompletely and at relatively low temperatures, a great deal of soot and ash is produced. Many plastics, coatings, inks, paints, metals and treated woods will produce toxic chemical air pollutants such as dioxin, lead, arsenic, chromium, etc.

6. Plant leafy trees and shrubs --- Deciduous trees and shrubs (the kinds that drop leaves in the fall) are excellent air filters to help reduce smog and cool the air on hot summer days.

Im think'n when you drown, that's not so cool, or if you cant swim.
