Environmental Measurements

Question 1

Is any data collection, activity, or investigation involving the assessment of chemical, physical, or biological factors in the environment which affect human health or the quality of life.

Answer 1

Environmental MEASUREMENT

Question 2

Refers to tools and techniques designed to observe an environment, characterized its quality, and established environmental parameters, for the purpose of accurately quantifying the impact an activity has on an environment.

Answer 2

Environmental MONITORING

Question 3

The air pollutant indicator assesses pressures from specific pollutants on atmospheric air across individual countries, but also identifies pressures from particular national sectors like energy, transport, industrial processes, agriculture, and waste management.

Answer 3

AIR monitoring

Question 4

Air/atmospheric levels can be monitored using a variety of sensors

Answer 4

Lahat may sensor sa dulo:

1. Temperature
2. Humidity
3. Carbon dioxide
4. Oxygen

Question 5

Monitoring not only helps manage soil moisture and plants health, but the soil is also related to many natural processes and helps us understand water resources both locally and regionally.

Answer 5

SOIL monitoring

Question 6

Measuring the ph: as many factors such as pollution, climate, and the environment can affect the ph in soil, measuring the ph of soil also helps us understand soil environment.

Answer 6

SOIL monitoring

Question 7

Can be defined as repeated with (a defined frequency) analysis of water quality in permanent points data processing and prognosis of trends to support actions focus on interception and remediation of adverse anthropogenic impact on the aquatic environment.

Answer 7

WATER monitoring

Question 8

Looks at production and consumption. for waste management contributes to climate change and air pollution directly impacting the environment and exposing humans to harmful substances, putting pressure on human health systems

Answer 8

WASTE monitoring

Question 9

Waste monitoring five stages, least to most harmful

Answer 9

1. Prevention
2. Reuse
3. Recycle
4. Recovery
5. Disposal

Question 10

Refers to any gas that has the property of absorbing infrared radiation (net heat energy) emitted from earth’s surface and the radiating it back to earth’s surface thus contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Answer 10

Greenhouse GAS

Question 11

Have a profound effect on the energy budget of the earth system despite making up only a fraction of all atmospheric gases.

Answer 11

Greenhouse GASES

Question 12

Major greenhouse gases

Answer 12

1. Water vapor
2. Carbon dioxide
3. Methane
4. Nitrous oxide

Question 13

Is the most potent greenhouse gas in earth’s atmosphere, but its behavior is fundamentally different from that of the other greenhouse gases.

Answer 13

Water vapor

Question 14

Is not as a direct agent of radiative forcing but rather as a climate feedback - that is as a response within the climate system that influences the systems continued activity.

Answer 14

Water vapor

Question 15

Is the most significant greenhouse gas. Natural sources of atmospheric co2 include outgassing from volcanoes, the combustion and natural decay of organic matter, and respiration from aerobic organisms.

Answer 15

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Question 16

This sources are balance on average by a set of physical chemical or biological processes called - - - that tend to remove CO2 from the atmosphere

Answer 16

Sinks

Question 17

Is the second most important greenhouse gas. It is more potent than co2 because the radiative forcing produced per molecule is greater.

Answer 17

Methane (CH4)

Question 18

Is an odorless, colorless, flammable gas. It is used primarily as fuel to make heat and light it is also used to manufacture organic chemicals it can be formed by the decay of natural materials and is common in landfills, marshes, septic systems, and sewers.

Answer 18

Methane

Question 19

Is emitted during agricultural land use and industrial activities combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste as well as during treatment of wastewater.

Answer 19

Nitrous oxide (N2O)

Question 20

The gas is also used as a propellant in food aerosols. In automobile racing it is injected into an engine air intake the extra oxygen allows the engine to burn more fuel per stroke.

Answer 20

Nitrous oxide

Question 21

It is a pain relief method or laughing gas as something used to help relax the patient.

Answer 21

Nitrous oxide
