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.

Why do planes leave a trail in the northern hemisphere?
Trails can be left behind planes in all areas around the globe and not just in the northern hemisphere. Variables include the aircraft and the prevailing conditions at altitude. What is happening is that a combustion byproduct (either of the jet or piston engine), water, is condensing. Maybe even freezing. After all, atmospheric conditions up high usually include very cold air. When we "see our breath" on a cold day, we are seeing the water vapor in our breath cooling and condensing.
What species of dinoflagellates are responsible for red tide in the Philippines?
Usually Pyrodinium bahamense var compressum a causative organism for paralytic shellfish poisoning. Other species includes Alexandrium sp., Chatonella marina, Prorocentrum minimum, Pseudo-nitzschia sp. and Cochlodinium polykrikoides.
What are problems caused by photochemical smog?
Problems caused by photochemical smog are:
- It will cause a decrease in lung capacity and lung elasticity.
- It will cause damage to leaf tissues.
- It will corrode synthetic material.
- It will crack rubber and synthetic rubber products.
Do chemicals prevent land pollution?
Heck No. In fact, chemicals make land pollution much, much worse and can cause many diseases.
Natural waterbodies are full of plant and algal life, sometimes you can see it and sometimes you can't but it is always there. During the day, the plant and algal life photosynthesize in response to the availability of light. In the process they consume CO2 and release O2, just like terrestrial plants do. The release of O2 into the water column increases the DO concentration (of course) and the consumption of CO2 reduces the potential for the formation of carbonic acid, thus resulting in a more alkaline (higher) pH.
During the night, when there is no UV light available to support photosynthesis, the plants and algae still have to respire (they are alive) which results in the consumption of O2 and release of CO2 into the water column, having the opposite effect to photosynthesis and resulting in the cycling of pH and DO on a day-night (diurnal) basis.
Is it okay if you pee inside the anal- what is the effect?
No it is not correct, it can cause a infection.
Where can you get smell proof bags?
Your nose detects a smell when vapours in the air, given off by the thing which you can smell (pie, poo, whatever, as long as it has molecules which easily evaporate, hence why steel doesn't smell) react with exposed neurones in your nasal passage.
A smell-proof bag would be one that does not allow vapours sealed inside to escape, which is essentially any airtight bag. You can buy these in supermarkets easily.
What rocks are easily eroded by acid rain?
Calcium based rocks like chalk, limestone and marble are some examples of rocks easily erroded by acid rain.

What are the pros and cons of water pollution?
Advantages: Employs people... When garbage is disposed into the water, people are hired to clean it up. Also, it makes it easier for companies to throw away their trash.
Disadvantages:
- Garbage (example: cans/plastic) can kill animals by cutting them, suffocating them, and trapping them so they'll drown.
- When an animal dies, their pray has less to eat, and it dies, then it's pray goes hungry and dies, and the chain continues
- Animals we eat (example:fish) catch sicknesses which they pass to us when we eat them
- When you drink polluted water you can get diseases like: cholera, typhiod fever, diarrhea, and hookworms
- Seafood restaurants have to occationaly shut down due to the loss of fish because of pollution in the water, which also effects the workers (becuase they won't get their pay)
- Water, being the most important resource in life, is being wasted because of pollution.. If we run out of water, everything on earth will die
How government can change water pollution?
well the government plays a big roll he can change the prices and he can control every thing , so the government really play a big roll
How study of biology can lead to pollution control?
in biology we study the features of different animals and plant when we study them we study their properties as well as their characteristics so when we study it we know which animal or plant is benifficcial in pollution control
What does the term 'whiten the barrel' mean in oil refining?
It refers to making emmissions "cleaner" than would otherwise be before any type of filtering/reusing of the emission that is to be "whitenned".
Arrrrhhgg!
Can calcium suppliments irritate the bladder and cause burning?
I was so pleased to see this question as it's confirmed what I have found. Taking a calcium suppliment in the morning made for a painful day with an irritated bladder. Sodium in most foods causes me the same problem. Best Wishes. Jennifer
What can help to prevent amenorrhea?
Simply following a healthy exercise and nutritional program can help prevent amenorrhea, as can reducing stress and learning relaxation techniques.
Rachel carsons book silent spring led congress to enact restrictions on what source of pollution?
Pesticides
What carries pollution to other countries?
Pollution can be carried to other countries through various means, primarily through air and water currents. Wind can transport airborne pollutants, such as particulate matter and greenhouse gases, across borders, affecting air quality in distant regions. Additionally, rivers and ocean currents can carry waterborne pollutants, including plastics and chemicals, from one country to another. This transboundary movement of pollution highlights the interconnectedness of environmental issues globally.
How is the environment polluted?
The environment is polluted in several ways. For example, smoking, (unnecessary) driving and factoriescause a lot of pollution. Plus, there's acid rain, which has barely a difference from normal rain. You can't tell until you drink and get sick from it. It's formed from all our air pollution, as told above. Next, there's water pollution. It's one of our biggest problems. When you dump trash and waste in a body of water, you're polluting the water. The world is made up of 3% fresh water. 1% of that water is unpolluted. It may sound crazy, but that's what happens when you build a factory next to water. This may also sound weird, but there's noise pollution. If you decide that you want to be the world's loudest person, and you do or trigger something that is really loud, you've just created pollution. It's not nearly as bad as the other ones, but it's not good, either. Lastly, there's land pollution. This is a BIG problem with humans. Every single time you litter, or pour trash on the floor, you're polluting the environment. Landfills are a good example. You're burying waste under the ground, but what for? You're just polluting the Earth even more! Not only does that effect the environment, it kills animals. They dig up the trash, or find it on the ground. If they're hungry, they'll probably try to eat it, choking themselves to do so. Pollution has effected many of us as well as animals, plants, and the Earth itself. Soon the whole world will be filled with pollution, and you'll know when.
Difference between lay out and schematic diagram in thermal power plant?
A schematic diagram will show the connections required for the process concerned, which might be an electrical process or a pipework system. Such a diagram enables you to understand the connections without bothering with the physical layout of the system. In contrast a layout diagram will show the physical routes of the wiring or pipework. This type of diagram is used by the fitters who are fixing the hardware of the system, whereas the schematic will be evolved by the designers originally, to prove that all the connections required have been included. The layout diagram will be deduced from the schematic.
How about the pollution in Iqaluit?
With the increased availability of transportation through the Northwest Passage the potential for pollution in Iqaluit increases, This could include marine incidents of crude oil losses and vessel discharges of bilge water and oil spills.Mineral developement (mines etc.) also has the potential for pollution.
