What could happen to the environment if there were no environmental scientists to monitor it?
a. decline in air, land and water pollution; no one to ensure proper disposal of toxic wastes; decreased destruction of habitats; increase in species extinction; b. great increase in air, land and water pollution; no one to ensure proper disposal of toxic wastes; increased destruction of habitats; increase in species extinction;
c. problems with enforcing the preservation of certain ecosystems and wildlife; great increase in air, land, and water pollution; decreased destruction of habitats; increase in species extinction
d. increased destruction of habitats, decrease in species extinction; problems with enforcing the preservation of certain ecosystems and wildlife; prevent the depletion of earth's natural resources

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.
