Pollution
Pollution is the process of giving out contaminants such as smoke and carbon dioxide, and too much of a certain product such as light, heat and sound that both cause harm to the environment.

What should you substitute for acid rain?
Lemon Juice and water has a similar acidity factor as acid rain.
What measures are necessary for arresting pollution?
the government and the public have both taken up the task of controlling atmospheric pollution on a war footing some of remedies areas follows.

What are the possible effects of poor environmental hygiene on health?
Because of the permanent interaction between man and his environment, our health is to a considerable extent determined by the community's environmental quality. As a consequence, community and health are closely related. Physical, as well as chemical and biological factors in the neighborhood region can have repercussions on our health, both physically and mentally.
Environmental disruptions, such as dispersion of dangerous substances, acidification, over-fertilization, photochemical and air pollution, climate change, ground pollution and nuisance have impact on human health. Aspects of environmental quality and life style that are not voluntarily chosen (e.g. passive smoking, noise nuisance, stress) are also distruptive. A basic principle of environmental policy must be to limit the negative influence of these disruptions on human health to non-harmful levels.
Do motorcycles or cars cause more pollution?
Air Pollution (Smog) - Motorcycles
Smog is from vehicles is caused by the the burning of fuel which creating chemicals such as nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide.
Total Pollution (Smog) - Cars
If your talking about total pollution then cars cause far more pollution than motorcycles because their are substantially more of them on the road. (590 million cars vs 200 million motorcycles)
Pollution Per Vehicle (Smog) - Motorcycles
If your talking about the amount of pollution per vehicle then motorcycles cause more pollution than cars. Motorcycles extract much more energy from fuel than cars do which creates much greater amounts of smog forming chemicals. Additionally because motorcycles are smaller they often don't carry technologies to reduce emissions such as catalytic converters which convert carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water.
Pollution Per Person in Vehicle (Smog) - Motorcycles
If your talking about the amount of pollution per person in the vehicle than it's Motorcycles because motorcycles create more smog per vehicle than cars and a car can carry more people than motorcycles.
Air Pollution (Greenhouse Gases) - Cars
Greenhouse Gases are a form of pollution which lead to climate change. The majority of the greenhouse gases produced by vehicles are in the form of Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is created by the burning of gasoline in the vehicles engine and released through the exhaust.
Total Pollution (Greenhouse Gases) - Cars
If your talking about total pollution then cars cause far more pollution than motorcycles because their are substantially more of them on the road.
Pollution Per Vehicle (Greenhouse Gases) - Cars
If your talking about the amount of pollution per vehicle then cars cause more pollution than motorcycles because cars weigh substantially more than motorcycles and they convert fuel into energy much less efficiently so they have to burn much more fuel to move the same distance. The burning of fuel creates carbon dioxide which is the major greenhouse gas produced by vehicles.
Pollution Per Person in Vehicle (Greenhouse Gases) - Cars or Motorcycles
If your talking about the amount of pollution per person in the vehicle than it's either motorcycles or cars depending on the fuel efficiency and number of passengers. Motorcycles and Cars are about even in Carbon Dioxide created when their are twice as many people in the car than the motorcycle. (ie. Two people in the car, one on the motorcycle) If the car is carrying more than twice as many people as are on the motorcycle than the car creates less pollution per person but if the car is carrying less than twice as many people as are on the motorcycle than the car creates more pollution per person.
(ex. A car that gets 30mpg driving 3 people 300 miles would burn about 10 gallons of fuel which is only about 3.3 gallons per person, while a motorcycle that gets 60mpg driving driving 1 person 300 miles would burn 5 gallons of fuel which is 5 gallons of fuel per person.)
Noise Pollution -
Total Pollution - Cars
If your talking about total noise pollution than cars cause far more noise pollution since their are substantially more of them on the road.
Pollution Per Vehicle - Motorcycles
If your talking about noise pollution per vehicle than motorcycles cause much more noise pollution than cars because they are much louder.
Pollution Per Person in Vehicle - Motorcycles
If your talking about noise pollution per person in the vehicle than motorcycles cause much more noise pollution than cars because they are much louder can't carry as many people as cars.
Do rainforests help to fight pollution?
Yes, rainforests play a crucial role in combating pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis. They also filter pollutants from the air and water, helping to maintain environmental balance. Additionally, the biodiversity within rainforests contributes to ecosystem resilience, further aiding in the mitigation of pollution impacts. Protecting these vital ecosystems is essential for sustaining clean air and water.
Statistics pollution level from 1900 to 2009?
pollution sucks, everyone recycle lol omg rofl
hhahahahah

Is noise pollution a disaster?
Noise Pollution, by itself, is simply the over-interaction of sound into the ear, either by prolonged interaction around or with loud noises or items that create loud noises. This can lead to a decrease in the ability to hear, and in some instances an annoyance.
What are ways to stop pollution besides recycling?
One way to reduce environmental pollution is to reduce or eliminate the usage of private cars in favour of public transit, bicycles or walking.
Why is bigger car make more pollution?
The engine in bigger cars are larger than of small cars as their engine is made up for heavy works.The cars engine powers denoted as CC (Cubic centimeters) as the power increases the engine uses more fuel, so it creates more pollution.
What are the devices used to prevent noise pollution?
There are a great many devices in the world that are used to prevent noise pollution. Mutes and sound-proofing materials on walls are two devices used.
Is burning candles bad for your health?
yes because it releases smoke and you inhale all of the fumes in your house.
How is tank bund water being polluted?
People dump garbage into it and some visitors also throw wrappers of the eatables.
What kind of pollution affects the sun?
Nothing. The sun is 149,600,000 kilometers away from Earth. It is too far for Earth to affect the sun, neither the mercury doesn't. Unless it hits the sun, this can cause explosion. And the explosion will affect the Earth.
What does dumping of waste and littering affect the marine life?
A animal could eat the waste and think it's food and the animal could die.
What effect does gravitational energy have on the environment?
Gravitation helps growing plants orient themselves to grow upwards, rain and water to move downwards, birds to shape nests to hold eggs rather than have them float away, hot air to rise, air to stay around a planet rater than disappear into space, ice to float, water to lay in ponds lakes and oceans, silt to settle out and many other important functions.
How could drilling rigs cause pollution in the water?
If there is harmful chemicals such as petroleum or natural gases in the water and drilling rigs drill through it, the chemicals/pollution will be released into the water.
Is there a way to reduce severe recoil of a light twenty Browning A5 shotgun?
There shouldn't be severe recoil with a Browning A5. Check the friction rings and make sure they are set for the correct loads: Light vs Heavy Loads. If the friction rings are set for light loads, and you are shooting high brass, then it will kick harder than it needs to be.
Nearly half of the pollution caused by humans comes from where?
motor vehicles
Rosedewittthesecond: I do not know the answer but i know that that is incorrect. That was my answer for a science test and it was marked wrong.

Closing the factories down would definitely do that.
How many people helped clean up BP oil spill?
The truth is... there were around several thousand people who volunteered to clean up the BP oil spill in 2010. There was no distinct number, but all of them were very generous people who donated time and/or money to clean up practically the biggest mess of the 21st century.
