Hey guy,
I will buy a new car soon, and would like to know how can I reduce its fuel ammunition and pollution?
I heard something about filters and exhaust sytem, what this is about?
Thanks and I hope to hear from you guys soon 
I already decided the car I’ll buy, Jaguar XF but I need to know how can I reduce its pollution!
While there are some rare exceptions, most modifications to automobiles do not reduce pollution but actually increase it.
Most cars already have the pollution equipment that represents the time of manufacture. Tampering could disable what is there.
The best way to reduce pollution is probably to drive less.
How did pollution in England during the Industrial Revolution affect the survival AND evolution of the peppered moth?
The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light colouration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-coloured trees and lichens which they rested upon. However, because of widespread pollution during the Industrial Revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and The trees that peppered moths rested on became blackened by soot, causing most of the light-coloured moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-coloured, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees.
Since then, with improved environmental standards, light-coloured peppered moths have again become common, but the dramatic change in the peppered moth’s population has remained a subject of much interest and study, and has led to the coining of the term industrial melanism to refer to the genetic darkening of species in response to pollutants. As a result of this relatively simple and easy-to-understand circumstances of the adaptation, the peppered moth has become a common example used in explaining or demonstrating .
How does water pollution affect area businesses?
How does water pollution affect our government at the local, state, and national levels?
How does water pollution affect the rest of the world?
How does water pollution affect resources, goods and services, and finances?
First of all. Pollution is a negative externality. Negative externality is where production or consumption a item result in a external cost which is bared by a third party.
How does water pollution affect area businesses?
If local industry is farming, farmer would not be able to use the water for farming purpose. They would have to import clean water or install water filter to clean the polluted water. Therefore increasing their cost of production and making them less competitive.
How does water pollution affect our government at the local, state, and national levels?
Water pollution may cause illness and diseases. As a result, population will start getting ill. Therefore, productivity of workforce will decrease. As productivity decrease, national output (GDP) will decrease. Furthermore, in country such as the UK where government provides healthcare, the cost of providing health care will go up.
How does water pollution affect the rest of the world?
Similar situation as above. Water pollution means governments around the world will have to spend money cleaning up the pollution.
How does water pollution affect resources, goods and services, and finances?
As government divert funding to clean up the pollution. Opportunity cost will arise. I.e there will be a trade off between cleaning up pollution or reducing tax. Therefore, fund may be allocated to a more productive project like building roads or hospital rather than cleaning up a cost imposed by a third party.
Hope this helps.
What is the link between pollution and birth rate, why/how are they related? What happened to cause this?
Back then, hippies believed that
The more people, the more pollution.
The more babies, the more Pampers in the landfills.
Now that hippies are aging baby boomers
and wear Depends
they think….nah….it’s just
not that important.
I am finding this a difficult question to find the answer to but how much pollution is produced when an electric car is made? I mean the actual in factory production? Any help appreciated.
lets compare here:
these are the very basic steps on how the electric car is made
1: Lead (essential battery ingredient) is mined in africa (environmentalists scream bloody murder when its mined)
2: Nickel (essential battery ingredient) is mined in Canada (environmentalists scream bloody murder when its mined)
3: Nickel and Lead are turned into car batteries in the USA (fossil fuels were used to ship it there)
4: Batteries are flown to Japan, and put in Toyota’s Electric cars
5: Cars are distributed all over the world for purchase
6: buyer purchase’s his electric car from his local Toyota dealer, 50 km’s from his house.
7: due to the lack of range, he gets 20 km/s from his house, and runs out of electricity
8: He plugs it in an electric socket, and after the 16 hour charge cycle is complete, he goes home. Now, before you say thats a price worth paying, lets not forget that the electricity put in the "tank" is from a coal power plant, which the environmentalists want torn down.
Now, lets see how a gasoline powered car is made
1: engine is designed and built in Japan
2: engine is placed in car, which was made in Japan
3: Cars are distributed all over the world for purchase
4: buyer purchase’s his electric car from his local Toyota dealer, 50 km’s from his house.
5: he gets home safely, has dinner, then goes and shows off his new car to his friends.
As well, top gear took a toyota prius (granted, its a hybrid, but the technology is very similar) and a BMW 3 series, and drove the prius at its grip limits (which are highway speeds, and put the beamer behind it, at the exact same pace. the prius ran out of gas 15 minutes before the BMW
as well, the best electric car (which is a prototype right now) can only do 100 km’s, and as mentioned, needs 16 hours to charge, where the electricity is from the already heavily strained coal powered electricity system.
also, as a side note, the audi quattro won the WRC rally championship in 1984, and gets 30mpg. Most of 2011 electric cars get 34mpg, (if the math is done accurately & precisely) and the people are stunned by the incredible savings, and fuel economy?????? yyyyyeeeeeaaaaah. ok then.
conclusion: not only are electric cars harder on the environment than gas cars will ever be, but they have terrible mileage at the end of the day
Why do economists believe that pollution taxes and effluent permits are a more efficient way to curb pollution than laws mandating across-the-board cutbacks?
it hurts their pocketbooks. It’s ALWAYS about the $.
I’ve scoured the internet, and I can’t seem to find this anywhere. The question in full: What factors of radon pollution are partially or completely under human control? What can we do to control this problem?
You may not have searched for radon abatement. You check your home with a radon test kit, send it in, and get a reading back. Then, based on the reading, you either have to take action or not. If you do, the abatement consists of putting a pipe under your basement or slab and putting that pipe under slight negative pressure with a blower fan. What this does is allows the radon to migrate to the pipe, where it is then vented away from the home.
Anyway, that is what I did for my home. The approved contractors are licensed, and follow strict regulations.
Me and my group in school are doing a project on climate change, pollution, etc and we would really like to know some super interesting facts. Thanks.
I made a whole speech about this so here is something.
‘40% of earth’s population’ die because of pollution. Asthma, cancer, bronchitis, and disruptions of immune systems are just some of the causes that are caused from air pollution. Also with pollution, growing crops and finding clean water are also very hard, leading to even more deaths, from starvation and poisoning. The World Health Organization says 3 million people’s deaths worldwide are caused by outdoor air pollution each year, from vehicles and industrial emissions. Polluted waters are common in developing countries and are responsible for ‘80%’ of illnesses and deaths in developing countries, and polluted land, caused by contamination from factories, fertilizers and pesticides, cause crops to fail and livestock to be sick. With polluted air, water, and land, animals get sick, and as the chemicals causing this rise up the food chain, they eventually come to us, and we actually consume the chemicals. About 70,000 chemicals are currently on the market. About 30,000 are thought never to have been tested for their effects to people.
I wanted to know for my project, but everywhere I look, theres only one paragraph saying the same thing about humans being affected by it and a whole page on wildlife. Any good books would also be helpful. I know that deformities occur in children that eat the polluted fish, but I’m trying to find specifics on all medical issues with pollution. OCEAN pollution.
Many things found in the ocean may cause seafood to be dangerous to human health. The effect on humans from contaminated seafood may include birth defects and nervous system damage. Medical waste found in the ocean is being tested to see if swimmers have a chance of developing Hepatitis or AIDS. Other waste has been known to cause viral and bacterial diseases. This type of pollution can be stopped by watching what pollution we are letting into the ocean. People are trying to decrease the amount of waste in the oceans by recycling as much garbage as they can so there is a smaller amount of very harmful materials in the ocean.
Some people are more sensitive, less resilient and therefore more vulnerable to health problems associated with EMF pollution. As a result, those more sensitive to EMF pollution can be more vulnerable and susceptible to some of the major diseases of our time, such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer and diabetes. Epidemiologic studies (study of factors affecting the health and illness of populations) relate electromagnetic fields to birth defects, psychosis, childhood leukaemias and to other cancers, especially brain and reproductive tumours. I am thinking maybe this could be why there are so many cases of autism?

It has the added bonus of disrupting alien mind control.
However it does cause the voices in my head to echo.
