Document Summary

Certain uses of the rainforests by people cause pollution to the wider environment the rainforest here acts as a pollution source a. ii. Integrated pes management (ipm) seeks to reduce the use of chemical pesticides by relying on other methods of pest control, such as natural predators and breeding pest resistant plants. Aeration: chemical processes such as the microbes in water that purify and inorganics, list the variety of effects that pollutants have of water. In the effects it has on the health of people, other organisms, and ecosystems. In the economic damage it inflicts on industries including agriculture: describe some of the major sources of groundwater pollution. Physical isolation or chemical treatment of sediments c. iii. Aeration: reversing the damage ground water d. i. Activated charcoal: compare the effects of remediation to source reduction, remediation includes separating hazardous chemicals from other materials, then treating them so that they"re no longer hazardous or concentrating them for safe disposal, source reduction b. i.
