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.

Answer:

Herbert Samuel, a British Jew who served as the first High Commissioner of Palestine, placed restrictions on Jewish immigration “in the ‘interests of the present population’ and the ‘ absorptive capacity’ of the country.”1 The influx of Jewish settlers was said to be forcing the Arab fellahin (native peasants) from their land. This was at a time when less than a million people lived in an area that now supports more than six million.

The British actually limited the absorptive capacity of Palestine by partitioning the country.

In 1921, Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill rewarded Sherif Hussein’s son Abdullah for his contribution to the war against Turkey. As a consolation prize for the Hejaz and Arabia going to the Saud family, Churchill installed him as emir. Churchill severed nearly four-fifths of Palestine—some 35,000 square miles—to create a brand new Arab emirate, Transjordan.

The British went further and placed restrictions on Jewish land purchases in what remained of Palestine, contradicting the provision of the Mandate (Article 6) that stated “the Administration of Palestine...shall encourage, in cooperation with the Jewish Agency...close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not acquired for public purposes.” By 1949, however, the British had allotted 87,500 acres of the 187,500 acres of cultivable land to Arabs and only 4,250 acres to Jews.2

This made for Jewish aquistion of immigration certificates extremely difficult. As the world entered the second world war, requests for entry were difficult to accomdate to Jews all over the world. Correspondence between governing officials in Palestine and Greek Jewish authority demonstrate the sheer inflexibility.

John gets a weekly allowance of $20 from his parents. The only thing he has a real interest in buying is a big slice of pizza af
Darya [45]

The optimal amount of Pizza that John would be able to buy is 5.  

<h3>How to solve for the optimum</h3>

1. We can see that he has zero as his 6th consumption based on marginal Utility. This shows that he can consume 5 pieces of Pizza.

2. If he should purchase 8 slices, total utility is calculated as

20 + 12 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 0- 2 - 6

= 42

3. This is added as an attachment

4. Total amount that John can spend = $ 20. Given that he cannot make use of his savings, the total amount that he can consume would be what is less than 3 slices and 4 funnel cake.

5. The total utility that John is going to gain would be calculated as

Total utility = 20+12+50+40+32+20 = 32 + 142 = 174

This puts the total utility at 174
