A non-point pollutant is a pollutant which has a source that is not readily apparent. Unlike pollution from sewage plants which is easy to indentify, non-point pollution is often caused by rain, or snowfall which causes pollutants to run off and empty in body of water and such. They carry away pollutants from their sources or points, which is why this effect is called Nonpoint source pollution

What is different of collinear point from non collinear point and coplanar point from non coplanar point?

Three or more points are collinear if they are all in the same straight line. They are non collinear if at least one of them is not on the same line as the rest. Four or more points are coplanar if they are all in the same plane. They are non coplanar if at least one of them is not on the same plane as the rest.


Non concentric circle?

Non concentric circles are circles that do not share the same center point.


What is non colinear point?

non collinear point or points? no collinear points are points not on the same line. keep in mind that you have to have at least 3 points to make that happen.


Is non-terminating decimal is a rational or irrational number?

Either. If it is non-terminating but recurrent (after some point) it is rational. If it is non-terminating AND non-recurrent then it is irrational.


What is 2 thirds in a decimal point?

A decimal point is just a point - a full stop. It separates place values with non-negative powers of ten from negative powers of ten. A decimal point has no numerical value.A decimal point is just a point - a full stop. It separates place values with non-negative powers of ten from negative powers of ten.

Is diesel exhaust a point source pollutant?

Diesel exhaust is typically considered a non-point source pollutant. Unlike point source pollutants, which are discharged from a single, identifiable source (like a factory or wastewater treatment plant), diesel exhaust is emitted from numerous vehicles and machinery across various locations. This widespread distribution makes it more challenging to regulate and monitor compared to point source pollutants. However, specific diesel exhaust emissions from a single vehicle can be classified as a point source in localized contexts.


Is argon considered a pollutant?

Argon itself is not considered a pollutant as it is a naturally occurring non-reactive gas that makes up about 1% of the Earth's atmosphere. However, if it is released in excessive amounts due to human activities, it could displace oxygen and pose a safety hazard in enclosed spaces.

This organic compound cannot decompose by microorganism


Is argon a pollutant?

No, argon is not considered a pollutant. It is a naturally occurring inert gas that does not react with other substances in the atmosphere to form harmful pollutants. Argon is non-toxic and is used in various applications such as welding and lighting.
