Gases involved in air pollution that can hurt their lungs, heart, and overall health of human being. People have no choice but to breathe the air around them. They can avoid high-traffic and highly industrialized areas whenever possible. Air pollution increased risk of asthma attacks, and coughing.
Why do planes produce most carbon dioxide during take off?
An engine of any type requires the most power when it is accelerating its associated vehicle up to speed. This is the case of a plane accelerating from stopped to cruising speed.
In addition in this same period the engine is lifting the craft to the cruising altitude which requires several times the power of level flight.
The increased power requirements are met by burning more fuel. Burning more fuel produces more carbon dioxide
What is the difference between pollution and contamination?
My teachers in the University told me that the difference between these two concepts deals with the environment's capability to "absorve" or "support" an agent.
In the case of contamination it could be support by the environment without stoping the general chemical cycles and life cycles. We use pollution refering to those agents or activities that produce highly damage in the environment and damage the entire ecosystem drastically.
Can some animals survive in polluted evirnments?
Some animals have a much higher tolerance to certain forms of pollution. Many fish and birds might die because of an oil spill, but if the sanctuaries where the birds and fish breed are protected, the ecosystem may recover in time. I am not a biologist, but in personal experience, rodents seem to survive almost anything! Similarly with cockroaches.

Is muddy water an example of water pollution?
Muddy water, more correctly called turbid water, contains particulate. These materials can add taste, odour, or toxic materials. They can also protect microorganisms from disinfectants. Most drinking water standards in use today have a limit on turbidity to address these concerns. Water with a turbidity level higher than the permitted level is regarded as polluted an unsuitable for consumption.
Where online could one find information regarding thermal pollution?

If your Bush tv wont turn on and just makes beeping noises from the back what do you do?
Unless you are qualified in electronics, you should contact an authorised repair centre, as TVs contain dangerous high voltages and could cause injury, electrical burns or death if you touch the wrong parts inside. Some parts may hold enough charge to give a nasty shock even after the TV is unplugged for several days
If the TV is an old or cheaper model, it would probably be more economical to replace it, as the price of repairs may be higher than the cost of a new one.
Well, a Photovoltaic cell is a solar cell, and it is affected by clouds and solid pollutants because they block light from hitting the solar cell.
What animal populations are being affected by emissions from power plants?
Bears, polar bears, and coral reefs (although they aren't animals).

Why is the water pollution an all-european problem rather than a national problem?

Europe's rivers flow through many different countries
Europe must import water from other continents
Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid and NO:3NO2 + OH· → 2HNO3 +NO
Note: The NO can react with oxygen (2NO+O2-->NO2) to produce further nitric acid
