Answer:

Air pollution harms human health and the environment. In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased substantially over the past decades, resulting in improved air quality across the region. However, air pollutant concentrations are still too high, and air quality problems persist. A significant proportion of Europe’s population live in areas, especially cities, where exceedances of air quality standards occur: ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM) pollution pose serious health risks. Several countries have exceeded one or more of their 2010 emission limits for four important air pollutants. Reducing air pollution therefore remains important.

Air pollution is a local, pan-European and hemispheric issue. Air pollutants released in one country may be transported in the atmosphere, contributing to or resulting in poor air quality elsewhere.

Particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, are now generally recognised as the three pollutants that most significantly affect human health. Long-term and peak exposures to these pollutants range in severity of impact, from impairing the respiratory system to premature death. Around 90 % of city dwellers in Europe are exposed to pollutants at concentrations higher than the air quality levels deemed harmful to health. For example, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air has been estimated to reduce life expectancy in the EU by more than eight months. Benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogenic pollutant of increasing concern, with concentrations being above the threshold set to protect human health in several urban areas, especially in central and eastern Europe.

"Air pollution is causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Large parts of the population do not live in a healthy environment, according to current standards. To get on to a sustainable path, Europe will have to be ambitious and go beyond current legislation."

Answer:

When the air pollution started, it caused acid rain, witch damaged, and destroyed forests. It also killed and made animals sick. The acid rain also ruined many animals home. The air pollution also made around 400,000 people die faster then they would without air pollution. use this if you want but i made a 100 on mines.

A group of researchers wanted to sort different white blood cell types (monocytes, lymphocytes, and granulocytes) apart from eac
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

C. placing cells in an environment with a lower solute concentration than that in the cells.

Explanation:

In pathological or diagnostic laboratories, to perform the differential leukocytes count (DLC) or white blood cells (WBC) count which are granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes we should first lyse the erythorcytes or red blood cells (RBC) with RBC lysis buffer. When RBC's lysis occur then only WBC's remain in the solution. Then, we add the hypotonic solution or lower solute concentration solution. By adding the hypotonic solution the cells will swell and increase in size.

So, the researchers used the hypotonic solution or lower solute concentration solution to increase the size of cells to differentiate between them.

Note:

In hypotonic solution the cells are increased in size or swell.

In hypertonic solution the cells are decrease in size or shrink.

In Isotonic solution the cells size remain same as normal.
