Water Pollution
Water pollution has become one of the largest environmental problems throughout the world. With many countries, both modernized and third world alike, being greatly affected by this problem it is sure to remain a prevalent topic in political and environmental debates for quite some time. Questions about the causes, results, statistics and solutions to water pollution and the problems it causes should be placed here.

What are the pro's and con's of a voluntary dismissal of a Chapter 13 case?
This question is so dependent on individual facts and circumstances that it defies a thorough answer, but I will make some general statements that are hopefully helpful: One "con" of voluntary dismissal is that the creditors who were not paid in full during the case will come back after the debtor. This is a pretty substatial "con." Another "con" is that the Chapter 13 is already on the debtor's credit report for 7 years even if the debtor dismisses it voluntarily. A big "con," which is highly situational, is that if a case is voluntarily dismissed after a Motion for Relief from Stay has been filed, that debtor is automatically barred from re-filing a new case for 180 days (6 months) (pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 109(g)). So, if a creditor, let's say the mortgage company, files a Motion for Relief from Stay to sell the debtor's house because the debtor has missed some mortgage payments, and the debtor voluntarily dismisses his or her Chapter 13, that debtor cannot re-file a new case for 6 months. This 6 month period of no bankruptcy protection may be sufficient time for the creditor to sell the home in a foreclosure action. A "pro" of dismissal might be, depending on the circumstances, that the debtor could re-file a new Chapter 13 and include debts that were incurred after the filing of the first Chapter 13 (and it should be noted that post-petition debts can normally be added to an existing Chapter 13 without dismissal if the case is converted to Chapter 7 by filing a Schedule of Post-Petition Debts). Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
How can you contaminate the water?
Numerous types of contaminants can threaten drinking water. They include everything from chemicals to pesticides to animal waste to industrial waste injected into the ground. Naturally occurring substances, such as arsenic, radon and fluoride, can also contaminate groundwater.
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.
Which animals can be found in most polluted water?
fish because once they take in the poluted water there lives are in danger
How do we as a society contribute to water pollution?
As a society we pollute water by throwing trash into rivers, drilling for oil, and by mining for coal.
What is burial of drums of toxic wastes water or land pollution?
depends where you dump it dumbazz, if u dump it in water = water polution
land= land pollution............. DIPSHIV
Is it easy to keep an indoor air purifier clean?
It depends on the unit itself and the way you have to clean the unit and also the type of filters it takes. The air quality of the area you are wanting to use it would also make a big difference as to how dirty it gets.
if its the one with the town and plants and the lost water section :
its usually the graph showing
lake quality-goes down with time and increased population
ground water quality- goes down with time and increased population
before it is processed yes.but after they clean it no.
What are the bacteriological parameters in water by USPH standards?
1. Coliform cells.
2.Total bacteria count
Is water filter different from water distiller?
Yes. They are different, although sharing many of the same functions.
The overall function is to purify water.
A water filter typically is for getting rid of larger, insoluble objects. ie, grains of sand. As it is a 'filter', the water is passing through a physical medium and substances dissolved in the water will also pass through.
A water distiller would typically be used AFTER filtration. The distiller is to get the pure water. (as things dissolved in water like salt will get left behind) So, it removes all, or most of the dissolved substances in the water. It is the best form of purification. Simple evaporation can take place in evaporating dishes (takes forever) or this can be accelerated by warming or boiling the water and using distilling tubes :)
I hope this helps :)
It sure can.
If it's polluted with nasty bacteria, or maybe even something poisonous, then it'can make people sick.
How do you extract sulphur dioxide from acid rain?
Sulphur dioxide is made through factories and processed into thick black smoke which travels through the air. Then the sulphuric dioxide magically transforms into "Acid Rain".
The acid rain effects the Earth badly it destroys the trees, obviously we need trees to breathe because trees make the oxygen. Acid rain effects our health, our environment and the animals which we eat. When the acid rain kills the animals the acid rain is trapped in the animals and no one knows.
Hope this helped...

How does deforestation cause water pollution?
Deforestation causes water pollution because when there are no trees left to block the rain fall the rain falls directly on to the soil and washes it in to the rivers, which take it on to the seas and oceans. The soil may contain chemicals that pollute the water.
Why is water pollution a concern if water is continuously cycled through earths system?
Water pollution has many harmful effects on society. Even when the water evaporates the pollutants still remain.
What should you write on your letter of complaint about water pollution?
You should write many things on a letter of complaint about water pollution. You should back your letter up with facts and statistics.
What happens if the small amount of water that you do have available to us becomes polluted?
That really depends!
Some types of pollution are odorless and tasteless, like lead and PCBs. If your water got polluted by those, you'd never know it unless you had it tested by a chemist. Since they are hard to detect, people can consume a lot of these over time and it can affect their health slowly. Other pollutants, like some bacteria, make you very sick very quickly. This goes for animals and plants which may consume the water, too.
Some pollutants are easier to identify by taste, smell, or color.
Whether your water is coming from a municipal source, like your city, or from a well, it should be tested periodically and examined to make sure it meets EPA state and federal standards. If it doesn't, the person controlling the source may get fined, and will also be required to install treatment systems to improve the water quality.
Pollutants come from everywhere: household cleaners, leftover medication, car exhaust, etc. The number one source of pollution in the US is from farmland, where water runoff can carry pesticides and animal waste into major streams and rivers, and out to the ocean. In order to improve pollution, we must find ways to use less chemicals like pesticides, antibiotics, fossil fuels and ammonia-based cleaners. Eating less meat and more local fruits and veggies will make a huge improvement because of how resource-intensive raising animals is.
A good dig through the internet will tell you exactly how clean your water is, and you'll probably be surprised at how much scary stuff is in the water you drink. Even though most people have no clue, it's the law for this information to be accessable to the public. The EPA's website is a great place to start: www.epa.gov.
What will not reduce water pollution?
What will not reduce water pollution is constantly dumping garbage in to lakes and rivers.
What areas are affected by pesticides?
Land and waterways are affected by pesticides. Other than that, insects and animals that are part of the food chain can be affected.
Why has the water pollution situation changed in the past several decades?
Since we currently have lots of technology in our modern day, there must be factories. Factories are huge factors in pollution because they are the ones creating most of the pollution. Since there has been more technology, factories have been 'creating' [producing] more pollution.
