Do you connect on a regular basis, occasionally, or hardly at all?

There is this pretty big pond near my house where I sometimes go fishing but not often. Today I went there and I could smell something terrible from about 100 feet away once I got near the pond I realised that there were 100's maybe even close to 1,000 dead fish lining the edges, bass, sunfish, pumpkinseed, catfish etc. Just a few days ago it wasn't like that! What on earth could have happend? Please help. Alsoe is a pond near that one which is connected barely by a tiny stream which sometimes never has water. Plus on the dead pond there are always fish jumping and frogs croaking but today it was totally dead what could have happend ?

I'm thinking some kind of chemical chain reaction that would either change the chemical nature of the CO2 to something inert, or perhaps bind to it to make it heavier, so it would descend...

If so, what that may be and how do outlooks differ too as well.

I know the garbage truck probably takes the trash to a central location, but what then? Do they burn it, do they throw it into the ocean, what? The garbag truck comes to my apartment 2-3 times a week. That's just one apartment building in the whole state not to mention counrtywide...just think of all that accumulated trash, where does it go?

I'm interested in finding a website that can tell me what pollutants are in the air in Lafayette, IN. I know that Tate and Lyle is responsible for most of the pollution, but I'd like to know what exactly is in the air.

I need help indentifying various ways to reduce the forms of pollution that have been identified. Determine whcih approach would be most feasible in the community.

Water and Air Analysis of Home
Living in a small town where the major businesses are the local supermarket and the Dairy Queen restaurant, the people of Cooper, TX, may not believe there is a need to be concerned with pollution forms the water and air. Since this is a small town, there are limits to the type of monitoring of pollutants available. When people think of the word pollution, they associate it with chemical factories, manufacture companies, and waste management businesses. Pollution in the water and air can still exist in a community without the reality of these types of companies. With limited tracking methods for pollutants in this community, there are potential risks that the community needs to become aware of.
There are not any industrial companies, but farming is a chief source of income for the town. Smog and soot are not high factors for reducing the air quality of the town. “According to research conducted by Scoreboard.com, Cooper ranks amount the cleaner 30% of all counties in the United States in terms of pm-10 emissions” (Scoreboard.com ). Fugitive dust from road traffic and construction are the leading containments for decreasing air quality. In rural communities, while commercial waste management companies pick up trash on a weekly and bi-weekly basis, open burning of trash is very common. Wildfires and open trash burning represent half of the town’s air pollution sources. There have not been any harmful effects from air pollutants detected or linked to causing illness, diseases, or cancer. The economy is affected when open burning gets out of control and results in wildfires. There is only a volunteer fire department that consists of volunteers from surrounding communities in the county.
There are two different entities that provide water to the town. The local water company supplies people who live inside the city limits, and the county supplies water to the people who live outside of the city limits. Cooper uses rivers, streams, creeks, and lakes for water usage. Cooper also receives water from a watershed, Sulphur Headwaters, located in the county. (Scoreboard.com 1999) The Sulphur and South Sulphur River and the Big Creek Lake, two of Cooper’s water reservoirs, did not meet all requirements for certifying the safety of the water. The county is required to test the water for over 97 containments and notify the community in writing with an annual report. The report lists tests for lead and copper, total organic carbon, cryptosporidium, and coliform. “As of 2006, Turbidity was found as a result of soil runoff. While it does not have any health effects, it can disrupt disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth that can cause nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and headaches.” (Delta County MUD 2006)
The community of Cooper may not have to worry themselves with smog in the air or stock up on bottle water, but they do need to be aware of potential effects from the air and water. Elderly, infants, cancer patients and others with immune problems are vulnerable to contaminants. By staying alert of the risks of water and air pollutants and how they are introduced into the atmosphere, will help to maintain a safe environment and decrease illnesses.

I live in Wisconsin and I found berries growing on a tree that look like rasberries. They look edible and normal. My friend ate 4 of them and I didn't even eat one(I tasted it though).

Are they poisonous?

Thank you very much! =)

I live in downtown Manhattan. My room faces an extremely busy street directly and there are many heavy trucks back and forth even after mid-night. Even worse, there is many pubs and clubs around. And directly beneath me is a pizza shop, which plays the hard rock&roll for the whole night and tends to increase the volume after mid-night. I don't think the new NYC noise code will help much. In sum, there is zero time that the place is quiet. I've bought foam ear plugs, but they don't help much, esp. for the rock&roll and disco type. I read the previous Q&As and thought I might have the following options: (1) military ear plugs; (2) musician ear plugs; (3) gun shooting ear plugs; (4) try more foam plugs from different manufactures. Is there a place in NYC that I can try all of the above options all at once. Specifically, which type of ear plugs is the most effective on rock&roll&disco type noise? Please give links so I can buy. I am directly sleeping on their high-vibrating sound systems.
