How chemical wastes are doing harm to our environment​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Hazardous, or toxic, waste is the potentially dangerous byproduct of a wide range of activities, including manufacturing, farming, water treatment systems, construction, automotive garages, laboratories, hospitals, and other industries. The waste may be liquid, solid, or sludge and contain chemicals, heavy metals, radiation, pathogens, or other materials. Even households generate hazardous waste, from items such as batteries, used computer equipment, and leftover paints or pesticides.

Explanation: In the past, many hazardous wastes were only loosely regulated, allowing substantial contamination of communities and the environment. In the U.S., toxic waste has been overseen by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1976, as well as state departments of environmental protection. The EPA now requires that hazardous waste be handled with special precautions and be disposed of in designated facilities. Many towns have special collection days for household hazardous waste.

Es un sistema mixto, creado por Sven A. Sölveborn, que combina el estiramiento pasivo y el estiramiento isométrico para lograr el máximo de flexibilidad estática

Answers

Answer:

El sistema se denomina facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva (FNP).

Explanation:

La facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva (FNP) se utiliza para ganar flexibilidad y en rehabilitación. Consiste en estimular los propioceptores presentes en los músculos, tendones y articulaciones para ganar flexibilidad. Podemos ver que integra al sistema muscular y al sistema nervioso para su fin, haciéndolo un sistema mixto. La FNP consiste en estirar el músculo de forma pasiva por unos 10 o 15 segundos, luego hay que contraer isométricamente por 10 o 15 segundos. El siguiente paso es relajar el músculo por 2 segundos  y por último realizar un nuevo estiramiento pasivo de unos 15 segundos nuevamente.

A rectangle has a width of 333 units. The rectangle's length is 555 times its width.

Answers

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 333 inch

Length of rectangle = 555 × Width

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

= 333 × 333 × 555 sq. inch

= 61543395 sq. inch

HELP!!! Long-term effects of alcohol on the body include:

Answers

Answer: A.) All the above

Explanation:  Drinking too much alcohol can cause abnormal activation of digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas. Alcohol puts the brakes on your immune system. Your body can't make the numbers of white blood cells it needs to fight germs. So for 24 hours after drinking, you're more likely to get sick. Long-term, heavy drinkers are much more likely to get illnesses.

Hope this helps :)

7. Very few people have a definite and pure somatotype

Answers

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

William H. Sheldon, PhD, MD, introduced the concept of body types, or somatotypes, in the 1940s. Since then, nutritionists, exercise physiologists, and even doctors have used it to help design effective, individualized fitness plans. The gist is that everyone falls, though not altogether neatly, into the three categories below. Keep in mind that these are generalizations, and that most of us have characteristics of two or even all three somatotypes.
