If the environment is polluted, why is the highest content of pollutants contained in the organisms that occupy the top of the food pyramid? Sorry about the grammar. Pls help!
Which food pyramid? They’ve changed it like a million times, because no one can agree on what’s best. I hope your teacher didn’t write this question, cuz if so, you’re not likely to get much out of that class. Did you mean to say food CHAIN? If so then that’s because the ones on therop eat everything below them. If a fish eats algea, and then a bird eats the fish, and then a snake eats the bird, and so on and so forth, then the last animal to eat is getting a little bit of all the others. (This is a bull $@&! answer to a bull $@&! question)
If you really did mean pyramid and If your looking at one of the traditional pyramids, the top layer is the one you eat the least amount of. Again - cant really help unless I know which pyramid your looking at.
I need to make an amendment to the constitution, and was thinking that and amendment on not dumping wastes in the ocean would be good.
no that is very very wrong
if that keeps happening we will no longer have sea food to eat and know one will able to make a living from the ocean and seas anywhere.
I have found countless times that the river is polluted by hundreds of factories and general human waste. However, i have not found any examples of specific pollutants in the river. Please find the chemicals that are polluting the water and provide me with a source. Thanks
It would be easier to answer the question, which specific pollutants aren’t in there. they have sewage going in, people wash socks and clothes in it,factory pollutants , you name it , it’s there. Here is a link with a picture and a bit of information.

Hope this helps you , Good luck.
Rachel Carson compared the impact of chemical pollutants to the impact of
A. World War II
B. Epidemic plagues
C. Widespread famine
D. Nuclear radiation
and tell me why please. Thanks!
D. Because this kind of pollution (DDT) was invisible to the senses, but it was everywhere: in plants, animals and humans. Because this could result in cancer, birth defects, and genetic mutations, she connected pesticides to a more familiar poison: "Pesticides could be understood as another form of fallout"
C=80,00p/(100-p)
What happens if the company does try to remove 100 percent of the pollutants? Will the company be successful at doing so, or will the attempt end in failure, that is, will it be to much expense for the company?
Remove them to where? Few products can be produced without any waste. Recovery efforts just trap the pollutants at the manufacturing site. These manufacturing byproducts must be recycled, rendered inert, or disposed of in their volatile state.
Recycling, finding as use for manufacturing byproducts, is the most cost effective method of dealing with pollutants. Treating pollutants to render them inert is costly. Hazardous disposal is costly.
Absolute zero emissions is unobtainable. Even the most basic act of an employee living creates pollution. Yes we have all kinds of excretory functions: breath, sweat, urine, and feces; each for expelling waste from out bodies.
What air pollutants combine and contribute to this issue in acid desposition?
Primarily sulfur in fossil fuels get converted into sulfuric acid. Nitrous oxide also gets produced and is converted into nitric acid.
My wife is from Senegal and would like to return for a 1 to 1.5 month visit before her 3rd trimester begins. She is 19 wks as of today. A concern that we have is that, depending upon the area of Dakar, the air pollutants can be fairly bad. How concerned should we be about my wife breathing in air that is not so pure and affecting our baby’s development?
It can be bad 
Is it possible for her to stay away from the badly polluted areas?
I’m trying to come up with a science project and my partner and I want to do something on tracking specific pollutants in a river and observing their effects on the environment, but we need an independent variable so I figured that we could either self-pollute the river (not exactly kosher…) or take out a pollutant and see the difference. Is that even possible?
If you took a sample of water and electrified it and had all the equipment you could extract cretin pollutants. But with just a filter it would take them all out.
I’ve looked online and get a straight answer anywhere? If you do know could you please be specific about what pollutants are released in the toxic smoke.
Thanks earthman that was what I was looking for.
Instead of me doing a copy-and-past job, check out the links below, they have what you want.
And should water bottles and the like be proscribed, or just taxed to death in order to discourage use?
because liberals still buy them
