Pollution

== == Yes you can. You have to design the treatment for the pollutant present. Solids can be removed by settling or a filter, inorganics by precipitation or other chemical reactions and organics by carbon filtration or biological treatment. Bacteria and viruses can be removed by chlorination, salt by reverse osmosis or distillation, odours by aeration, and oils by gravity separation.

This really depends upon the type of pollution. There are water borne diseases such as cholera, which can be present in polluted water and can infect people. There are toxic substances such as lead and mercury which can be present in polluted water and poison people. There are many other types of pollution as well.

There are millions of cars on the road in the United States, and each one is a source of air pollution. Especially in large cities, the amount of pollution that all the cars produce together can create big problems.

To solve those problems, cities, states and the federal government create clean-air laws that restrict the amount of pollution that cars can produce. Over the years, automakers have made many refinements to car engines and fuel systems to keep up with these laws. One of these changes came about in 1975 with an interesting device called a catalytic converter. The job of the catalytic converter is to convert harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions before they ever leave the car's¬ exhaust system.

Catalytic converters are amazingly simple devices, so it is incredible to see how big an impact they have. In this article, you will learn which pollutants are produced by an engine and how a catalytic converter deals with each of these pollutants to help reduce vehicle emissions.

firstly try to educate everyone who is damaging the river or any lake if they do not listen to u then go and report to naturalists they will surely help u or take the help of the local people and stop that work which damages the nature

The effects of urbanization can be either positive or negative. Negative effects could be: increased crime, pollution, elimination of small town jobs, more traffic...etc. Positive effects include: growth in local economy, increased amount of money to put towards public projects such as roads, more institutions of higher education, creates new innovative jobs...etc.

They waste products that come from making different materials are emitted into the air and in the water. Often these waste products and chemicals are harmful to the air and the water systems, thus causing pollution.

The remedies of noise pollution can include the soundproofing of buildings, enforcement of noise and nuisance laws, and ear plugs. Planting vegetation in high noise areas will reduce sound levels as trees and other large plants will absorb sound.

By changing are human activities, we could save the earth. To much pollution is causing global warming and smog. Smog causes acid rain. By car pooling with other people or riding a bike or even walking could help the earth. And by picking up and throwing away trash would be a huge help to the Earth.

The pollution goes down to the river, and its kills fish, also livings on land and water nature.

the major source is the burning of fossil fuels

There are several human impacts on the environment that people are slowly beginning to realize are having a negative effect. Things such as coal plants, leaving appliances plugged in when not using them, and the exhaust that comes from cars are just a few examples of negative human impacts on the environment.

China is a big example of this. In that country, there is so much air pollution caused by all the factories a lot of people wear gas masks. Recently, there has been a lot of smog all over the country.

Yes. The most well-developed system would be efficient enough to recycle any waste it produced, and any waste accrued would be reused as it went.

it has a big affect of the agriculture and harvests and if it reaches the human water supply it could have serious

consequences.

Fossil fuels are limited in quantity, and we are already running out of them, so we need to replace them with something else.

Also, burning fossil fuels in the large quantities we do changes the balance of nature. We are experiencing global warming, but also there have long been pollution problems with fossil fuels.

Fortunately, there are already alternatives. There are many of these, but one example might suffice to provide an example.

Fire wood can be gasified. The tars that are created, which often go into the atmosphere when wood is burned, can be trapped quite easily, and have commercial value or can be burned to fuel continued wood gasification. The wood gas produced can be catalyzed into alkanes, a class of chemicals that includes propane, butane, and octane. You can get just about any alkane you want, so you can decided to produce diesel oil, if that is what you want, and what you get is superior in nearly all respects to what is pumped from the ground. Five kilos of wood produces one liter of diesel oil - that is about 120 gallons from a cord of wood. If this is done using sustainable forestry techniques, the effect on the forest is probably beneficial, and the carbon footprint is quite possibly about a third of that of nuclear power.

A problem that we have with energy is that we are limited to very few sources for economic reasons. The model of centralized power generation and fuel production is easy to fund because it makes sense for big businesses to invest in. The tendency is for the few centralized sources to crowd out a larger number of smaller, distributed sources. But the distributed alternative can derive power from a larger variety of sources, producing a smaller environmental impact with each, and using less in the way of non-renewable resources.

The Philippines ranks 12th in the world, as of 1 July 2007 the population is 88,706,300. If you consider more Parameters like energieconsumption and population density Philippines ranks 17th in the world (see www.humaninflation.de).

For starters reduce the amount of fuel used. Stop housewives from running the kids to school in high powered high pollution 4 wheel drives, it is unnecessary and wasteful of resources and pollutes the air. Do something about mobile phone companies producing a different plug for all of their new products so that new gear has to be bought when the old stuff still works fine, Make it illegal to produce bad quality goods that use up recourse's because it wont be long before we have to any way. get rid of the Idea that an economy has to expand to be succesfull. everything we produce requires the use of fuel. so if we have to make less as a result of better quality then we will polute less.

The roots of wildlife are damaged by acid rain, which leads to stunted growth or death. Nutrients in the soil are also destroyed by acid rain and the waxy layer on plant's leaves is destroyed. Aquatic life is also effected, the acid rain leads to mercury and aluminum to come up from the soil and carried into lakes. If a body of water becomes to acidic, the aquatic life will die. Other animals are impacted because lower levels of life are destroyed by the acid rain and they cannot survive without a source of food. Acid rain also peels paint off buildings and causes the fading of colors. Acid rain can lead to corrosion, discoloring and fracturing in buildings.

The more people use bicycles then the fewer drive cars. This will reduce fossil fuel consumption.

Factories are polluting are air and causing global warming, in more then 100 years the Polar Ice Caps will melt and anywhere next to the ocean will be flooded and places like Hawaii and Japan, Cuba, and Jamaica, ext, will be gone, and if it keeps happening... the human race will die

The biggest impact on the Amazon rain forest is the activities of humans. Growing population needs the space and the trees are cut down because people need jobs and the wood can make a lot of money for lumbering companies. Unfortunately, even the people who depend on the rain forest are among the ones contributing to its decline.

WE cut things down and kill things. We destroy the habitat of the animals and take away their food supply. But we can also try to conserve by replanting trees and plants and set hunting laws. We can also not kill animals.

We also improve the rainforest by enforcing laws against hunting endangered species. Together, we can save the rainforest!
