- 5. USEPA sets standards for arsenic emission from foundry so that the unit cancer risk is 0.015 (per ug/m3 of arsenic in the atmosphere over a lifetime period). Assuming the exposure to arsenic is 25 years, what should be the maximum concentration of arsenic in ambient air in a way that the real risk of getting cancer during these 25 years is 0.0001 (one chance in ten thousand)?For ( 0.138 tonnes/person/year ) waste generation per capita per year. What will be the amount of waste generated in year 2030? details is given in figures Note: only solve the above question if you want to solve other question then i will be thankfullEstimate the emissions of carbon dioxide from ethylene production using Tier 1 and Tier 2 approaches. The feedstock is naphtha and the quantity of secondary products are to be assumed based on default values provided in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

- Discuss in brief the potential use of microalgae in (a) reduction of microplastic pollution and water filtration, with respect to environment, global food security, and sustainability nexus.Define air pollution. Define combustion. What are the consequences of increasing CO2 in the atmosphere? Give 5 activities that you can do that may result to air pollution.MARGINAL ANALYSIS. This example problem goes over the degree of comfort experienced at different levels of clean air. The different dollar value amounts are shown for every 10% increase in clean air. We want to find the optimum amount of clean air that we should have in this area, and it is important to remember that there is an optimal amount of pollution. Having 100% clean air is probably never going to be the solution. As we would expect, the more clean air we have in our economy, the higher the benefit we receive (we prefer clean air over dirty air). However, as we produce (or clean) more of the clean air we also incur a cost. As more clean air is present, the higher our costs. Note that benefits here is the same as utility, % of Clean Air| Total Benefits Total Cost 0% 50 45 10% 20% 130 50 30% 205 58 40% 269 68 50% 319 81 60% 351 96 70% 371 115 80% 386 150 90% 398 200 100% 406 280 Find the MC and MB. At what % of Clean Air do we have the best option to be adopted? a) 20% b) 30% c)…

The town is considering whether the waste is landfilled or incinerated. For disposal of the waste generated in one year, which option is better to produce less volume of greenhouse gases (GHGs)? Which option is better to have less greenhouse effect? We assume that the waste has a chemical formula of C68H111O50 Decomposition of solid waste in incineration is shown in the following reaction. CaHbOcNd+4a+b+2d-c2O2=aCO2↑+b2H2O+dNO↑ 2) water produced from the reaction(s) is not GHG because it is liquid water).P2 Analyze the manner in which buildings are unsustainable and the industry's impediments to sustainability.
