I need solutions ASAP 43. Which ofthe following is NOT a reason to implement a Pollution Prevention (P2) program at a company? A. Reduced raw material purchases B. Potential to attract new customers C. Reduced liability for hazardous waste D. Decreased product quality 44. Which of the following in NOT considered a Pollution Prevention (P2) measure? parts, grinds the sprues and mixes the regrind with virgin plastic. parts, to a water-based biodegradable cleaner. C. A retal gocer collects all fthe cardboard boxes used for incoming produce, flatens A. A company that injection molds plastic parts separates the plastic sprues from molded B An automobile repair shop changed from using gasoline as a solvent to clean greasy them and ships them to a recycling company. D. A university sends out instructions to its employees about how to activate power 8 50, which of the following is an advantage of nuclear power over coal? A.Greenhouse gas emissions are higher B.A nuclear power plant requires more land area for the same amount of power output. C.It is safer to work in a coal-fired generating station than a nuclear generating station. D.The amount of fuel used daily is significantly less. Your company has a P2 approval process which states that projects must have a 2 year 51. (or less) payback period in order to be implemented. You are considering two projects, the first is to install automatic temperature setback equipment so that the temperatures can be turned down during off hours. This will cost $400 and will save $15/month in avoided energy costs. The second project is to replace old motors with energy efficiency models. This will cost S12000 and will save $350 a month. Which project(s) (if any) will be approved? A. Both projects B. Neither project C. Automatic temperate setbacks D. Energy efficient motor replacement 52. What does the expression "harvesting the Negawatts" mean? A. borrowing money to invest in new electricity generating plants B. auditing the nergy use in a factory to determne energy is being used C. investing in energy efficiency D. when an energy efficient technology is introduced, it sometimes leads t to avoid installing additional generating capacity use overall o greater energyExplanation / Answer
43. The following is not a reason to implement the Pollution Prevention (P2) program at a company:
Ans. D: Decreased product quality.
(A. Reduced raw material purchase: A company can save on raw materials by implementing the Pollution prevention program.
B. Potential to attract new customers: By promoting your company’s environmental practices, you can attract new customers, reinforce repeat /retain customers, and boost employee morale.
C. Reduced liability for hazardous waste: This can help to reduce the amount of toxic material used, handled and transported at facility which can further reduce its future liability cost.)
44. Following is not considered a Pollution Prevention measure:
Ans. D: A university sends out instruction to its employees about how to activate power
(A. A company that injection moulds plastic parts separates the plastic spruces from moulded parts, grinds the spruces and mixes the regrind with virgin plastic: One of the P2 program measure is that if the waste generation is unavoidable in a particular process then the best way out is to adopt recycling and reuse strategy in order to minimize the waste.
B. An automobile repair shop changed from using gasoline as a solvent to clean greasy parts, to a water-based biodegradable cleaner: This is Prevention (source elimination) method, where the process is modified to avoid /reduce the solvent use to have a minimal environment impact.
C. A retail grocer collects all of the cardboard boxes used for incoming produce, flattens them and ships them to a recycling company: Recycling and reuse is one of the measures of Pollution Prevention program which deals with waste that has been already generated.)
50. Following is an advantage of nuclear power over coal:
Ans. D. The amount of fuel used daily is significantly less (Nuclear power requires less fuel but offers more energy)
(A. Greenhouse gas emissions are higher: The greenhouse gas emissions are lower in case of nuclear energy as it requires lesser amount of fossil fuels and therefore reduces the CO2 emissions.
B. A nuclear power plant requires more land area for the same amount of power output: coal and nuclear power plant require almost similar land area.
C. It is safer to work in a coal-fired generating station than a nuclear generating station: In nuclear plant it is difficult to shield from radioactive radiations. )
51.
Ans. B: Neither Project
Payback period measures how long a project will take to return its original investment.
Payback period= $400/$15
= 26.67= 27 months > 2years.
Payback period= $12000/$350
= 34.29= 35 months > 2years.
Therefore neither projects will be approved as the P2 approval process states that projects must have a 2year (or less) payback period in order to be implemented.
52. The expression “harvesting the Negawatts” means:
Ans. D. when an energy efficient technology is introduced, it sometimes leads to greater energy use overall.
Negawatts is the unit of representing the amount of energy (in watts) saved as a direct result of energy conservation or increased energy efficiency.
