Matching each hazardous waste with its description is shown below :

<u>Hazardous waste description</u>

Asbestos : substance known to cause lung cancer; found in older landfills

Mercury : Substance found in computer monitors that causes brain damage

Cadmium: Hazardous cancer agent found in the batteries of many devices

Lead : Substance from thermostats known to cause reproductive issues

Too much exposure to these hazardous waste always leave a negative effect on the health of individuals, Asbestos are used in the roofing of older buildings and can be found in older landfills. the fiber from asbestos affects the Lungs ( alveoli ) of humans which might lead to lung cancer.

Mercury are used for PC's backlight and also in the mother board of modern computers too much exposure to mercury can lead to brain damage.

Cadmium are hazardous cancer causing agent used in making industrial batteries, prolonged exposure to lead poses several health risk which includes reproductive issues because lead can cut across placenta barrier between a pregnant woman and unborn child.

Hence we can conclude that matching each waste to its description is as

Asbestos : substance known to cause lung cancer; found in older landfills

Mercury : Substance found in computer monitors that causes brain damage

Cadmium: Hazardous cancer agent found in the batteries of many devices

Lead : Substance from thermostats known to cause reproductive issues

zaharov [31]

Answer:

A. Based on our results, students who do 1 hour of chores per night

have grades that are on average 0.2 points higher than students

who do no chores.

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment that employs the scientific method, series of steps should be followed. The steps involved in the scientific method include; making an observation/asking a question, formulating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, analyzing the result, drawing a conclusion etc.

From this step, we would notice that DRAWING CONCLUSION immediately follows the analysis of result, which means the conclusion is based on the result of the experiment. A conclusion in a scientific experiment should be factual and based on the measured result. It should either reject or accept the hypothesis.

The best representation of a conclusion is A. Based on our results, students who do 1 hour of chores per night have grades that are on average 0.2 points higher than students who do no chores. This statement has a conclusive content unlike other options that still seemed unlikely.
