Lead pollution can have detrimental effects on ecosystems. Lead disposed of in soil where people live, work and grow crops may eventually enter the body leading to lead poisoning. This affects the central nervous system and causes mental issues in young children. Both adults and children suffer from nausea, and brain and kidney damage from high levels of lead poisoning which may result in death. 
To reduce the impact of lead individuals who work in landfill areas should lake special measures such as wearing protective clothing. One can also avoid using products such as paints that may contain lead.

"You are safe to have sex; you can resume sexual relations when you desire" responses by the nurse is most appropriate.

Option C

<u>Explanation</u>:

A person's sexual intercourse is based on his desire. If the sexual intercourse is absent or limited, it is because he is in depression, the desire for the sexual intercourse has decreases/diminished, and he has fears or anxiety, having an issue with his partner or fatigue. There is no scientific or physiologic basis to refrain the sexual intercourse. If you have problem with "retrograde ejaculation", then it is not because of the myocardial infarction because diabetes can cause the retrograde ejaculation but MI is not  reason for it.

Write 8 sentences about how we can reduce pollution and wildfires.
jekas [21]

Answer:

We can help reduce pollution by reuseing things that we can and by recycleing those that we can't.  We can also help by picking up trash that we see around us and throwing it away.  It will also help to use public transportation, bike, or walk whenever possible.  On the other hand we can also help reduce wildfires by extinguishing cigarettes properly.  Don't throw cigarette ends on the ground or out of car windows.  Only use barbeques in suitable and safe area, never leave them unattended.  and last never leave fires unattended and make sure they are fully extinguished after.  We can help make this world a more safer place to live with just these and other easy, simple steps.

Explanation:

Hope this helped and have a nice day

viktelen [127]

All of the above. Haiti is located near a major fault zone, half of its population at the time lived in densely populated urban areas; their weak government, which is a remnant of colonial impact, is very poor for the same reason and therefore did not have buildings up to code regarding earthquakes.

Not sure about poor soil but it probably didn't help if that is true. Islands aren't exactly famous for a lot of quality soil (large amount of sand which is unstable).
