How have international treaties help reduce pollution?
International treaties reduce war, which reduces the need for guns, gunpowder, tanks, and metal. Factories that make these war items dump their sewage in oceans, and if there is no demand for such products then the factories don't make them and they don't have sewage to dump.
How does the BP oil spill compare with others?
The BP oil spill is the worst Gulf Coast oil spill (second place is Ixtoc-1 in 1979), but it is not the worse spill in the world. Some consider the sinking of US oil tankers by German uboats to be the worst (~1943) , when summed together. Others would consider the Gulf War oil spill, however this was not an accidental oil spill.
Wikipedia states the BP oil spilled is between 4.1 to 4.3 million barrels. Other websites quote 4.9 million barrels which is the semi-official estimate of oil from the Macondo well, but BP was able to recover 800,000 barrels, so 4.1 million barrels would appear (at least for now) to be the better estimate.
These comparisons are not easy. A spill in the open ocean (as some with some tanker spills) may cause much less environmental damage, than the BP spill. Also, BP was able to skim, burn and disperse some of the spilled oil.

Is it reasonable to expect a totally unpolluted environment?
No, It is not reasonable and/or logic to expect a totally unpolluted environment. All human technologies are environment polluting. The aim should limiting environment pollution as far as reasonably possible. For example, how to limit emissions from vehicles and cars, ships and marine vehicles, and aircraft? how to limit emissions from fossil power plants? how to limit emissions from various industries?
What is the most concerning thing to people exercising in the city?
Air pollution would be the most concerning factor.
What can cause trees to not get enough food or water?
Saplings attempting to grow amongst mature trees, may not get enough water through their roots, nor sunlight on their leaves. This is due to the mature trees taking up most of the ground water, and casting a shadow over the saplings below.
What is the differences between pollution and pollutants?
Pollutants is what pollutes the environment while pollution is the outcome of that pollutant that. Pollution is the "introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem"
Pollution is when there is something damaging in the environment. Pollutant is the cause of the pollution. So if a bay has a lot of oil that has spilled from a ship, the bay is polluted and the oil is the pollutant.
What are two environmental problems caused by burning fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and global warming. Additionally, it emits pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can lead to air quality issues and the formation of acid rain, harming ecosystems and human health.
What does the tidal resource do to produce electricity?
Well, they carry SO MUCH force with them that it's impossible to harness the energy they carry as actual fuel for electricity. So much force, in fact, that it may be impossible, even with increasing technology.
What is the worst known case of water pollution?
There are no criteria for the "worst" case of water pollution so it is impossible to identify the winner. Contenders for the title would be:
- The pollution of Lake Erie with phosphorous from detergents which ended commercial fishing for many years.
- The release of mercury from pulp and paper mills that made fish dangerous to eat
- The contamination of the Thames River in England in the 18th and 19th centuries
- The Rhine River contamination in Germany
- The Canals of Venice
- Mercury losses in Japan leading to Minamata disease
- Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which had been compared to "an open septic tank," and frequently caught fire
What is the role of human being in water pollution?
1. Industrialisation has led to the discharge of pollutants and toxic materials in water bodies through drainage into rivers and underground water table.
2.Urbanisation has led to discharge of pollutants like human/animal waste material ,chemicals and toxic materials as sewage discharge into rivers and water bodies.
3. Rural human population and animal waste including chemicals used in pesticides and fertilisers have polluted water sources.
Organic pollutants are persistent organic pollutants(POPs). Examples are DDT and lindane, industrial chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and substances such as dioxins, all of which accumulate and are slow to degrade, and may have adverse impacts on human health and the environment.
How does acid rain affect the Canadian Boreal forest ecosystem?
There are few known facts about acid rain's impact on boreal forests than on other more accessible areas/ the problems of soil acidification are present but this is somewhat mitigated by the natural acidification caused by the decomposition of the needles of the conifers in the forest. The lakes and streams can have depressed pH levels beyond the levels of natural acidification. this would cause the increase of minerals in the water, changes in fish and benthic organism and the increased clarity of lake waters due to algae reduction.
How does human waste cause pollution?
because it might have acid or bad stuff in it then when u put it in the waste disposal it might get in to the grown water and flow in the the water of a lake near by and harm all the animals in the water fish and stuff
