A degradable pollutant is a pollutant which can be broken down by microorganisms and causes soil pollution. A non-degradable pollutant can not be decomposed or would take an extremely long time to be broken down.
Substances that are brocken down by biological processes are called biodegradable subtances.
ex:food materials,clothes,paper etc.
Substances that are not brocken down in this way are called non biodegradable substances.
ex:metals,plastics etc.
Biodegradable substances are those substances which decomposes by the action of micro-organisms. e.g.:- vegetable peel,tea leaves,etc.
Non biodegradable substances are those substances which do not decomposes by the action of micro-organisms. e.g.:- plastic bottle,plastic bags etc.
man made artificial material such as plastic is non biodegradable
those pollutant,likemost of clothes,dead bodies,etc.,that can be decompose by microorganism in due period are called biodegradable pollutant....non-biodegradable pollutant are vise-versa
Ugh, I wish I knew I have to find one for a project. All I know is that sewage is one. So I guess, things that are in sewage? Maybe some foods?
Potentially polluting chemical that is broken down completely or reduced to acceptable levels by natural physical, chemical, and biological processes.
Non-biodegradable substances can last forever. Some substances are slow to degrade, but they still degrade over time. Those that are non-biodegradable should not degrade, even over long periods of time.
yes. as a matter of fact it is one of the most non-biodegradable substances on Earth.
Examples are plastics, metal and glass. Dangerous chemicals and toxins are also non-biodegradable, as are plastic grocery bags, Styrofoam (polystyrene), and other similar materials.
Nondegradable wastes cannot be assimilated and rendered harmless by the environment.
If a substance can be broken down by biological action, it is considered "biodegradable". A good example of biodegradable material is anything you would put in a compost heap: egg shells, fruit remains, etc.
Non biodegradable substances are those which do not decay over a period of time when buried in the soil.
Non-biodegradable substances can last forever. Some substances are slow to degrade, but they still degrade over time. Those that are non-biodegradable should not degrade, even over long periods of time.
Aluminum is non biodregradable because it cannot be broken down into simpler substances
A non-biodegradable substance cannot be decomposed by microorganisms, whereas biodegradable substances can.
yes. as a matter of fact it is one of the most non-biodegradable substances on Earth.
Not all organic substances are biodegradable. CFCs are terribly stable.
Biodegradable substances are waste substanses that can decompose after a peirod if time whether short or long e.g basically food, paper, etc While non biodegradable substances are waste products that can not decompose even after a long period of time e.g glass, metal cans, cups, plastic and the have to be recycled.
The most time it takes for biodegradable substances to disintegrate is 180 days.
Biodegrable are the substances that are coumsumed by decomposers.. non biodegrable substances are cannot be consubed by decomposers...
Quelles matières ne sont pas biodégradables - which substances are not biodegradable?
Many food scraps like orange peels and banana peels are biodegradable. Also wood leaves, grass clippings, straw, corn, plants, animals, cotton, wool, and other earthen materials are biodegradable. Generally plastic, building materials, and other manmade substances are not biodegradable.
some various biodegradable substances areCottonPaperWoodDead animals or plants
