EESA10H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Climate Change Mitigation, Overfishing, Bald Eagle
Document Summary
Due to increased exposure to ddt, this reduces the reproductive abilities of bald eagles, and can even destroy their habitats. In more severe cases, they could even have their entire habitat wiped out. Evaporation and condensation can also occur in terms of the volatility of these chemicals, as well as the vapor pressure. This means that the higher the vapor pressure, and the smaller the molecules are, there is a greater chance of evaporation and condensation to cause these chemicals to travel. Larger chemicals stay in the water and are unable to evaporate, so they move slowly. It is difficult to manage, prevent, and remove mobile toxins from the environment because many factors cannot be controlled. One of these factors could be the frequency of factory emissions into the air. From an environmental and chemistry perspective, latitude and volatility of molecules are some factors to consider as well.
