How did the government solve pollution after world war 2?

Posted by admin on February 13th, 2010 and filed under pollution | 7 Comments »

After the atomic bombing over Japan, there was a lot of pollution in the air and water. So, what did the government do back then to solve the problem?

Nothing. It’s still there today. Sadly!

How would I predict the pollution level at 28 with the following data set?

Posted by admin on February 11th, 2010 and filed under pollution | 1 Comment »

pollution - 30, 31.8, 32.1, 26.8, 30.4, 40
Cost- 915, 891, 968, 972, 952, 899

graph it.

pollution is your x
cost is your y.
then connect the dots.

then find where 28 is, and follow it up till you find where the line you just plotted crosses it, and follow it left to the number that is there.

What are some good titles for a pollution project?

It has to be related to like air pollution, gas pollution and other kinds of pollution. It can’t be like "GO GREEN" or something like that.

Where can I find statistics on illegal dumping and trash pollution?

Posted by admin on January 28th, 2010 and filed under pollution | 2 Comments »

I need to find numbers and stats on of illegal dumping/ trash/ pollution. I’m making a short film for my high school. I would like to know things about how much trash pollution is collected. Deaths to wildlife because of pollution and other facts. California stats would be great but ANY general stats would help me so much! Thank you.

As laz4059 says, I think you’ll find only scant information. If anyone had current statistics on illegal dumping, then it would need to be turned over to the authorities for enforcement. I say that sort of "tongue in cheek" as the illegal dumpers aren’t filling reports on their activities.

One approach would be to go to EPA’s enforcement information web page:
http://www.epa.gov/oecaerth/data/results/performance/rcra/index.html

You might be able to glean some information there.

Also, think historical - 20/20 vision is always that - crystal clear when looking retrospectively. There should be realms of data on discoveries of illegal dumping, and related activities.

How can hybrid vehicles contribute in reducing pollution?

Posted by admin on January 24th, 2010 and filed under pollution | 5 Comments »

Hybrid vehicles are produced with the help of electrolysis, and if Ethanol is used in the process, then the electricity generation is still less & hence, these vehicles are taken as helpers in reducing pollution. I need a few examples of hybrid vehicles & how do u think they can further reduce pollution? Please use simple terms, and kindly answer my question.

Hybrid vehicles are a new product of the automobile industry. Such vehicles are becoming more illustrious as they are very efficient and reduce pollution

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Environmental Impacts

Air Quality:
Hybrid vehicles offer a great improvement on the air quality emissions for vehicles that are powered by gasoline. According to The Green Car Club, hybrids reduce health-threatening tailpipe emissions by 90% and evaporative emissions to almost zero. (The Green Car Club) The hybrid vehicle does contribute to green house emissions just at a reduced rate because the fuel that powers the hybrid comes from a petroleum based fuel.

Fuel Production:
The pollution associated with the production of fuel for hybrids is the same as the pollution created in the production of fuel for gasoline vehicles because they both use gasoline. The pollution is somewhat reduced for a hybrid vehicle because the vehicle has greater fuel efficiency. There is considerable pollution related to the production of gasoline. Gasoline contains MTBE which is a known cancer causing agent and can cause birth defects if a pregnant mother is exposed to it. Petroleum extraction and transportation has led to some of the worst ecological disasters that the planet has seen. When the Exxon-Valdez capsized it released millions of gallons of petroleum onto pristine coastlines. The environmental damage was monumental. The destruction of the rainforest is rarely associated with petroleum extraction. However the discovery of vast oil reserves and the subsequent drilling of these reserves in Venezuela and other Latin American countries near the equator, has led to the destruction of tropical rainforests.

Vehicle Production Pollution:
The production process for the hybrid vehicle is very different than the production process of a gasoline vehicle. There are similarities especially in regards to the production of the gasoline powered engine. Thus the production of the gasoline powered engine in the hybrid is similar to that of a gasoline powered vehicle however the addition of the electric engine increases the environmental impact of the production of the hybrid vehicle. The greatest environmental impact comes from the pollution caused by the elaborate battery system that powers the electric engine. The battery pollution is substantial because the creation of the batteries requires destructive mining to produce the batteries and the caustic substances that power the batteries must later be disposed of. The caustic substances that power the batteries are very poisonous and when released into the environment leech into the waterways and poison groundwater.

How much less pollution does solar power produce?

Posted by admin on January 22nd, 2010 and filed under pollution | 2 Comments »

I know the solar cell is not producing pollution but making the cell will. I am looking to compile a pollution cost per kilowatt.

the production of electricity from solar is almost zero. The production of the solar equipment is high, and the solar farm requires a very large area. Add that the solar panels need to be cooled with fresh water, so the water needs to be cleaned and circulated.

How much pollution can water take before it becomes unsafe?

I Have A Science Fair Project coming up and i have never done a science fair project so this would really help. My question is How much pollution can water take before it becomes unsafe? I do not have a hypothesis yet or the data =[

How bright is the night sky without light pollution?

Posted by admin on December 25th, 2009 and filed under pollution | 5 Comments »

I am going on a cruise soon and it came upon me that in the middle of the ocean at night there would be no light pollution whatsoever excluding the minute amount of light the crusie liner would emit but i doubt that would have any effect. So i wanted to know, people who have been on cruises or live far from large cities( unlike myself) how bright is the sky at night with no human interference. I could only imagine it being considerably brighter and beautiful.

I am afraid OmeniFighter is correct about the cruise ships being big light polluters, but you should ask if they will be having any night sky programs. Some cruise ships have these programs, and will black out certain areas or for short durations so people can enjoy the night sky in a way it so rarely be enjoyed these days.

Learn more about night sky awareness from the International Dark Sky Association — or any local astronomy club! I am not an astronomy person, but have had a lot to do with night-friendly lighting projects, and night-friendly lighting is not just about astronomy, but about health, good neighbors, improving safety, and even wildlife conservation! No need to wait for your cruise to learn more ;-)

What is the most tangible evidence of pollution you see?

Posted by admin on November 22nd, 2009 and filed under pollution | 7 Comments »

What do you see in your daily life (in the real world, not on tv or cpu screens) that is evidence of pollution?

Well I live in New York City, so there’s definitely visible land population. There’s always crap on the sidewalks whether it’s cigarette butts, newspapers, or gum wrappers. The air and light pollution is so bad, there are no stars in the night sky. And the water pollution? -_-;;. The fishes have moved on to better things.
