Pollution

All plants and animals must have sulphur. Coal and oil are made from old plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They contain sulphur. Refineries can remove most of the sulphur from most of the oil turned into fuel oil or gasoline. Refineries, factories and power plants can remove the sulphur dioxide from their smokestacks. Frequently they do not. When they do not, the sulphur dioxide turns into sulphur trioxide. The Sulphur trioxide then when the sulphur trioxide runs into a cloud or a drop of water, it turns into sulphuric acid. When it falls to earth, it falls as acid rain. Acid rain is sulphuric acid falling to earth. In North Florida the rain accompanying the first cold front of the fall changed the pH of a swimming pool from 8 to 4. That indicates the amount of acid in the air over the Midwest and Midsouth of the United States. Right now technology exists to rid smokestacks of sulphuric acid.

It will almost certainly cause your car to overheat, which can lead to costly damage if it cracks a head gasket! Put some water in your radiator!

Nuclear power produces less of certain types of pollution than some other kinds of power. There is less carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere from nuclear power than fossil fuels produce, per unit of energy. There is less mercury put into the atmosphere than coal produces.

If things go well, there is actually less radioactive material coming from nuclear plants than from coal, per unit of energy produced.

But there are problems with comparing nuclear with other power sources in terms of pollution. First off, things don't always go well, as we can see from the disasters at Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi. Secondly, we have no way of knowing what will happen to the nuclear waste produced, and so cannot accurately assess how much pollution will come from that. A third problem is that certain kinds of pollution are not even normally evaluated; nuclear plants require huge amounts of cooling, and alter the environments in which they exist with what is called heat pollution, particularly killing aquatic life. Another problem is that the calculations on the pollution produced by nuclear power vary widely, so, for example, the carbon footprints of nuclear power are rated with a range of roughly 2 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt hour to about 250, depending on who is doing the work.

There are also power sources with much less pollution than nuclear, and these include wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal. Even here, the meanings of numbers have to be examined, as the pollution produced making solar panels is being reduced and the efficiency of the panels increased as technology develops.

Yes.

Yes, you can die of cancer.

no because the oil is not worser than chemicals

The best ways to stop battery pollution is by doing it yourself and then spreading the word. You can use rechargeable batteries, so you don't have to throw them away. There are also places where you can take used batteries to be recycled. After you do this at home, tell your friends, family, and neighbors about how they can help.

Science pollutes the air because papper is needed so it comes on a truck and the smoke affect the air

Students litter because they think it's cool, their friends do it, they don't know how much it affects the earth, or they are just too lazy to find a garbage can nearby. This is becoming a really big issue.

The primary effect of excess phosphorus in the aquatic environment is called eutrophication. Phosphorus is one of several nutrients needed for plant growth. Excess amounts of nutrients however leads to excess plant growth and as these, at times huge amounts of plants die, oxygen is taken out of the water by bacteria during the decomposition process that can lead to eutrophic conditions where the dissolved oxygen is too low to support aquatic organisms.

If u change the flow of a river's water it effect the plants and animals in the area becuz when the animal's drink the water and the water has oil or poison in it they could die and when some people take the river's water and water the plants, it could rot.

Basically a glorified pressure washer with a 3,000 gallon water bag that has a push start diesel engine. It is designed to be rapidly set up to provide vehicle decontamination and limited airfield and building decontamination capability. A single fuel for the burner unit and the engine make it more user friendly. the system itself requires external MHE support for movement.

It decreases the ph

They covered it up and continued with privatisation.

Many things pollute the earth, including us!

Also, cars, factories and cigarettes pollute.

ghosts do walk around us...well some actually fly around us they do that because they think they are alive but they are not.

Water conataining nitrates can cause methemoglobinemia blue baby syndrome). The condition can progress from a blue-grey skin colour to coma and death if not treated..

This is an immensely complex question because it depends on "for who?" For example, read the following paragraph (an earlier answer):

Smog. It can blind you, crash your car, cause respiratory problems, kill ozone, cause fumes in your car engine, make you late for work, and be quite a pain. Smoke and fog = smog.

For that person smog was the worst. For someone living next to a coal driven electric plant, that might be the worst. For each person there is a worst, depending on the person's circumstances. A crucial question is: what is the worst for mankind?? Another: what is the worst for the biosphere as a whole? Another: what is the worst for the planet?

The planet and biosphere can be considered as a pair, supporting each other, protecting each other. Pollution which damages the biosphere threatens both biosphere and planet. Examples would be global cooling, global warming, food chain destruction such as loss of a major pollinator, ozone layer damage, etc.

The seriousness would depend on the position in the biosphere where the hit occurred, the amount of biosphere attacked, and the duration of the attack. For example, a pollutant killing ocean krill by a very long-lived pollutant distributed over our major oceans could bring our entire biosphere down. Pollutants destroying major pollinators could likewise bring the biosphere down. The more resistant the pollutant is to biodegradation, the more trouble it bodes.

Perhaps we can say, the more there is of a pollutant the worse, the lower it targets the food chain, the worse, the wider its dissemination the worse, the longer its life the worse.

The Great London Smog (SMoke + fOG) was the result of coal smoke from fired heating during an unusual cold period combining with the heavy fogs of London. Although smog was not uncommon in London this was an unprecedented event, it lasted from Friday 5 December to Tuesday 9 December 1952. The coal smoke contained sulfur dioxide ans a well as organic (coal tar) compounds which made the mixture acidic and resulted in breathing problems for many. About 4,000 people were known to have died as a result of the fog, this estimate could be considerably loweer than the actual number.
