By "get skinny" you mean loose 34 pounds, I do not recoment for you to stop eating because even though you may get skinny, you will look unhealthy and it is bad for your internal organs. I imagine 2-3 weeks of no eating would make one loose that much weight. Starvation will back fire on you . The best way to see the weight drop off of you is to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day of healthy foods. The frequent small meals speeds up your metabolism and you lose weight. When you starve yourself your metabolism slows down and you will gain weight. This is the bodies way to protect itself and conservere energy for survival. I saw this happen with me. I started gaining weight and it was because I was eating less meals and the meals I did eat were bigger. Once I started eating more smaller meals my weight starting dropping again. Ruth, Dietitian
What are the problems of Open-pit mining?
From a pollution standpoint, there aren't many. Other than the exhaust of the equipment used to mine the pit, there are negligible pollution effects.
How does land pollution from one country affect another country?
Because pollution is clouds, clouds can float from one piece of atmosphere to another...
What impact would acid rain have on the great lakes?
Learnt them when i was small. Acid rain lowers the Ph of the water thus, affecting the aquatic life in it. Sometimes, in Acid rains, aluminium oxide gets mixed with it. As it reaches the fish's gills, a strong acid mixed with aluminium oxide goes in and blocks the fish's gills from any oxygenated water to pass in then out.
The pollution rates in Morocco are terrible, but its worst at the beaches. Moroccos used to be ble, clear waters are now filled with rubbish and sewage leaks. A very accurate study shows that Morocco, on a scale of 1-100, is a Terrible 67. ~Kameron~
Do jeans have biodegradible substances?
Except for nylon threads, zipper teeth and brass buttons and rivets, jeans are biodegradable.
Will we have to give up eating beef to stop global warming?
Yes. Cows are the second major cause of global warning. The first are powerhouses, and the third cars. Many people agree that it's easier to give up with a kind of meat than to stop using your car or elettricity.
A:Scientists and economists believe we can bring our carbon emissions down quickly by reducing our consumption of fossil fuels, and are not focussed on the methane emissions from sheep and cattle. As long as we act quickly to reduce our use of fossil fuels, beef consumption is a second tier cocern.It is true that sheep and cattle are major sources of methane, which is some twenty times as potent a greenhouse gas as carbon dioxide. However, there is promising research going on into changing the diet of cattle and thereby reduce the amount of methane they belch, as well as other ways of minimising this problem. It should not come to this, but we could always eat chicken, pork, kangaroo, fish and other forms of meat from animals that are not ruminants and do not produce methane in their digestive systems.
Survey says... nitrogen gas. did i win, did i win? p.s. this is just an educated guess by guy who is familliar with the nitrogen cycle of saltwater aquariums
How does mining pollute water?
The water used to flush the excess waste after minerals have been deposited is dumped in nearby lakes and rivers.
Where did the Love Canal spill?
Love Canal was not a spill of anything.
It was an old abandoned section of a canal originally built by William T. Love in the 1890s (thus the name) near the City of Niagara Falls, NY. After it was abandoned the roughly 1 mile long section of canal filled with groundwater and was used by children for swimming. In the 1920s, the canal became a city dump for the City of Niagara Falls. In the 1940s, Hooker Electrochemical Company (later known as Hooker Chemical Company) began searching for a place to dump the large quantity of toxic wastes it was producing. In 1942 the canal was drained and lined with thick clay to prevent its future contents from entering the groundwater. Hooker then began filling it with 55 gallon drums of toxic wastes while the City of Niagara Falls and the Army continued the dumping of refuse. After 1953, the canal was covered with soil, and vegetation began to grow atop the dumpsite.
Soon thereafter the Niagara Falls City School District needed land to build new schools, and attempted to purchase the property from Hooker Chemical that had been used to bury toxic wastes. Against the initial opposition of Hooker Chemical which cited safety concerns the School Board by threatening to have parts of the property condemned and/or expropriated, Hooker Chemical agreed to sell on the condition that the School Board buy the entire property for one dollar, and that the School Board take all liability for any future lawsuits related to the contents of the site.
Two schools and a number of housing developments were constructed on the site and surrounding areas. By the late 1950s the clay liner installed in 1942 was failing and groundwater intrusion began to wash toxic wastes into the nearby Niagara River.
By the middle 1970s severe health problems began to be observed that were unique to the area.
Love Canal, along with Times Beach, Missouri, are important in United States environmental history as the two sites that in large part led to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) which is commonly referred to as "Superfund" which supplies money to cleanup sites with unusual high amounts of hazardous materials contamination.
Yes, it is. Both the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Iraq have many pollutants added by industry and the populace. This includes sewage, chemical releases, and agricultural runoff.
How does rain shadow effect ground water or water shed?
Rain shadow effects ground water by when it rains so hard on one side of the mountain is messes up the ground water by tearing up the soil.
Why are pollutants in the sea not made harmless by dilution?
Pollutants in the sea are not made harmless by dilution because large bodies of water have the capacity to dilute and disperse wastes :)
Hope that helps you out!
What is tremor control therapy?
Tremor control therapy is a type of treatment using mild electrical pulses to stimulate the brain. These pulses block the brain signals that trigger tremor.
Is trash dumping not a source of point-source pollution?
Correct, if it is disposed of properly. Because it is dispersed, uncollected trash obviously would not be a point-source of pollution either.
How can fresh water be pollution?
By throwing trash and a lot of toxic things. When people throw trash to the river or the other big places, it will get polluted
Mining is a bad thing because it creates poulotion and it is dangerous 26 miners died 20 years ago
How can you conserve air pollution?
We haven't air pollution in our area. The air is absolutely clear, the sky is very blue, clouds are very white, We don't need to breathe because the O2 enters our lungs easily. We haven't any smoke in the air. Stars shine wonderfully at night.
However, if your region has a polluted atmosphere, take my advice, move to a farm and start writing blogs about pollution all the time. Send a letter to Obama, asking him to make a law forcing the industries to install filters where is necessary, and ask him to sign the Kyoto Agreement.
No tenemos la contaminación de aire en nuestra área. El aire absolutamente claro, el cielo es muy azul, las nubes son muy blancas, no tenemos que respirar porque el O2
entra en nuestros pulmones fácilmente. No tenemos ningún humo en el aire. Las estrellas brillan maravillosamente por la noche. Sin embargo, si su región tiene una atmósfera contaminada, tome mi consejo, movimiento a una granja y comience a escribir blogs sobre la contaminación todo el tiempo. Envíe una carta a Obama, pidiéndole hacer una ley que obliga las industrias a instalar filtros donde está necesario.
How PTC technology is used in pollution prevention?
PTC technology is also used in pollution prevention, pollution treatment and the removal or destruction of impurities in waste and product streams. PTC provides many compelling benefits, primarily related to reducing the cost of manufacture of organic chemicals and pollution prevention. Cost reduction and pollution prevention are the two most powerful driving forces in the chemical industry today, and they match precisely the strengths and benefits provided by Phase-Transfer Catalysis.
Is denatonium benzoate toxic or does it cause nausea?
This is an extremely bitter substance, its used in other solutions to prevent accidental over ingestion of more dangerous chemicals, as extremely low parts per million are easily discerned by the human palate. According to Aldrich, The handbook of Fine Chemicals, Risks include: 1. Harmful if swallowed. 2. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Safety precautions include: 1. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water andseek medical advice. 2. Wear suitable protective clothing
