When will pollution destroy the world?
A thing like this isn't proven but has been studied, in theory pollution is a leading factor of ozone depletion, which then in turn can create natural disasters and from then on what I conclude is that the earth can be in a deadly downhill spiral that is if our ozone layer has completely depleted, which wouldn't destroy the world but could be close to it.
What is the pollutant is responsible for the killing of trees?
pollution from big industrys and factorys also some cars let off pollution that can harm trees.
Does tidal energy cause pollution?
Do they CAUSE pollution? Not really. However, by obstructing the normal tidal flows of sea water, they allow pollutants to accumulate in the tidal basin, preventing the pollutants from flowing back out to sea.
What will happen if people continue to litter?
If people continue to litter, soon the world will be covered with garbage so there's nowhere clean to live. It will look ugly and will kill off most of the other animals on the planet because they can't live in garbage either.
The rain becomes acidic because Carbon dioxide, Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide dissolve in rain drops to form Carbonic acid, Sulphuric acid and Nitric acid.
What green house gasses do fossil fuels emit?
Chiefly carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are primarily carbon. When burned, this carbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form CO2.
CO2 is a heat trapping gas which lingers for centuries, and human consumption of fossil fuel now liberates over 20 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
How does water pollution effect people?
Even with this, it poisons the plants that grow off the water supply. When this happens the animals that need these plants start to die off, and they caan also become extinct to the nearest area.
water pollution is the main reason for the imbalance in the food chain and life cycle of the underwater organisms. polluted water which contains the harmful insecticides or pesticides and other waste chemical water thrown by the factories result in severe damage to the water life. the fishes under the water slowly die out ,some result in defect in laying eggs.this fish when taken by humans can even affect our health. this fish when eaten by the frogs or other water creatures hamper their life too. it gradually puts the food chain in risk ,this eventually affects the other animals too which eat fishes or water creatures like bear , vultures ,etc. this again spreads in the terrestial wildlife and aerial wildllife as well. so eventually the whole environment is affected.
How do you save effect of pollution on historical monument?
The best way to save historical monuments is to make sure they are officially declared as monuments. Once declared, they are legally protected.
What has been done to clean the oil spill up?
No, they can't fix the oil spills because oil can't dissolve in the water for example sugar can but oil can't.
I wish that answered your question. <- This is actually not a helpful answer as the question never asked if oil could dissolve in water or not. The question was if "they" could fix the oil spill.
The answer is yes and no. They are currently trying to redirect the pipes containing the oil by sawing through it and putting a plug that leads to another reservoir. The no part is that it is impossible to undo the damages done by the oil spill as it has already drastically affected the ecosystems around the Gulf.
Why is land pollution occurring?
the major cause of land polutions are for example ve have some natural minarals like cured oils .when these oil are been refined it helps todamage the land ,there by we say that land polution has occure. secndely the enginers like all these mecanics that repairs car all those west materials which are been drop outside the work shop affects the land and it makes the land to be polluted.
Can you give me sentence with pollution?
I am the only one in my class that knows what pollutionis.
Pollution is not a good thing to do.
The smoke that people take causes a lot of pollution.
What is a way to decrease the amount of water pollution?
Use contour plowing, and plant lines of trees and tall grasses to provide vegetative buffers to reduce runoff and soil erosion.
Some organic farms use no-till methods (not plowing) this greatly reduces the amount of soil lost to erosion.
Pesticides and nitrates from fertilizers, and animal are a major cause of water pollution. It is estimated that farmers spray 10lbs of chemicals on each acre, and 20% of the chemicals runoff into local rivers and streams. The reduction of chemical pesticides and fertilizers help.
Also, the creation of a wetland or marsh around the area helps to take up the nitrates from fertilizers and animal wastes.
How does marine pollution affect us?
Community Answer 1
For centuries the oceans have been treated like sewage dumps. Polluting the oceans is a horrible act and the result can be devastating to all living things. Many people don't think about that when they go and pollute the beaches. Now it's time that all people take a stand and help clean up this tragic mess we have made over millions of years.
Two- thirds of marine life is endangered now. There are three main reasons why they are all endangered. One reason is that with all the trash and chemicals in the ocean water it becomes difficult for the marine life to breathe. That will kill them really quick. Next, is that many animals like turtles, choke on garbage because they think its food. The last main reason is when toxic waste harms one organism; it will end up harming a whole food chain of marine life.

There is a long list of pollutants in the ocean including garbage, toxic waste, vehicle and boating pollution, waste water, oils, farming, and agriculture. The top two major pollutants are toxic waste and chemicals. There are ways to stop some of these polluting habits but they won't completely stop it for good. Think of how you can help in your own little way.

It affects it because the animals will die because of all the pollution also because of what we humans like litter or oil gets thrown into the ocean and kills the fish and other animals in the ocean.
When people dump waste or spray chemical sprays anywhere, when there is rain, they get washed to the rivers then straight to the waterfalls then go to the oceans polluting marine life that kills corals, aquatic mammals, fishes, sea birds (that eat fish), sea snakes, crustaceans, amphibians, and reptiles (that eats fish and other sea creatures)
Other animals that eat fish will become poisoned because if fish gets poisoned, it wont die it will just keep growing and will become a mutant and, when something eats the mutant, it will get poisoned too and, when a mother eats a mutant (or something else that ate the mutant) will be worse as if she will pass her poison to newborn babies drinking her milk.
Pollution is a bad thing that should be stopped. We are killing all marine life. So use environmentally safe sprays.

We need to do all we can to help stop pollution. its not only killing animals but its also killing us, humans.
Water Pollution gets into marine animals lungs and kills them. pollution is just like a poison to us. on contact it kills them. every year more and more are showing up floating on top of the water dead. we need to stop this.
Negative effects of pesticide on the environment?
Pesticides are poison. Some of the better pest controls are now using baits that attract the pests and then trap them in a (harmless to humans) area or on a sticky surface. The traps then can be safely disposed of limiting the exposure of pesticides to humans.
Pesticides can kill off some of the use full insects on the plants. Like Greenfly drink the sap from the stems of cabbages, this is helping the cabbages and the farmers. So, by using pesticides you can actually be destroying insects that are not even pests!
Does biomass cause water pollution?
It depends on what kind of biomass is being converted, under which conditions, using which method. The general answer is, yes. However; the broader answer is, yes, but far less than fossil fuels. Particular biomass when converted to biopower actually helps to reduce greenhouse gases.
What is one source of thermal pollution in water?
Thermal pollution is generally a water problem. Heat in the air dissipated quickly. Water which is over heated changes the amount of oxygen in the water, changes the types of fish that can live in the area and encourages the growth of bacteria and algae, In addition warm waters encourage ducks and other aquatic birds to overwinter which can lead to starvation and species die off.
Thermal pollution originates from:
- Industrial process water discharges
- Power plant discharges
- Sewerage discharges
- General urban run off from streets and open lands.
What are the three methods of non point pollution control?
Point pollution control is environment management, and over the years this area of focus has implemented more than three methods of point pollution control. The more common methods are recycling, minimization of waste, and prevention. For each of these approaches, different control devices are used, such as, sewage treatment and dust collecting.
Why are polartec fabrics environmentally friendly?
Not only are Polartec fabrics recyclable, but several fabrics are now available from recycled content. Polartec 300 and Polartec 200 are two of the most popular styles made from recycled plastic bottles. Recently, the interest in recycled-content fleece has gained popularity (Patagonia, LL Bean, REI and Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) are some of the largest customers purchasing recycled fabrics from Polartec), while one company has been supporting and using the recycled-content fleece from its inception...and producing locally in the USA (Knütes or Knuetes). Polartec fabrics are now fully recyclable. A.Richardson
How do you manage land pollution?
There are many things in our daily lives that we use to make our lives easier, safer and more comfortable - however these things also create pollution and waste that are bad for the environment. Cars, fast food, newspapers, air conditioning, household appliances (i.e. microwaves, hairdryers) and many other items all result in pollution. Pollution not only happens in your home but also on your street. Garbage spills from garbage cans and exhaust fumes from cars, trucks, buses.
How is pollution affecting habitats of sea life?
It can harm seabirds by them coming in contact with infected or acid water. When they drink it they could be drinking chemicals which could possibly kill the bird.
Water pollution is worse now than it was in the past?
Yes, of course it is, today's usage of fossil fuels have rised up and that has ca.use pollution to continue. Now, we use cars and stuff everyday that use fossil fuels, and that goes into the air and in the future, it may even kill us and cause carbon monoxide poisoning that will harm and eliminate many human beings
What materials clean oil spills?
You can use a lot of things to clean up oil spills but the best thing to clean up an oil spill is to use a sponge.
