this act was carried out to control, supervise and regulate activities on toxic chemicals and hazardous waste
R.A. 6969 or Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990
Often closely related to conductivity, salinity, alkalinity and hardness measures
Total dissolved solids
It is a metabolic disease associated with magnesium deficiency
Grass Tetany
Refers to feces and urine prior to any changes due to dilution, water addition, drying, volatilization, or other physical, chemical or biological process
Excreted
This causes eye irritation to cows exposed to 65 ppm-150ppm
Ammonia
It promotes, propagates, develops further and implements the practice of organic agriculture in the country
RA 10068 or Organic Agricuture act of 2010
It is the measure of how much oxygen is dissolved within a body of water
Dissolved Oxygen
the process of nutrient enrichment in lakes and the subsequent increase in biomass is called
euthrophication
These are residues from the production and processing of raw agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, dairy, and crops
Agricultural Wastes
the capture and subsequent breakdown of manure particles in the soil matrix is referred to as
Filtration
Aerobic decomposition of this material can reduce dissolved oxygen levels if discharged into rivers or waterways
Fecal Bacteria
It can interrupt the activity in soils, as it negatively influences the activity of microorganisms and earthworms
Copper
Cattle that have disease generally have a restricted intestinal tract
Fat Necrosis
______ is an electrochemical process that plants use to get many of their nutrients from the soil
Cation Exchange
It is a slow pyrolysis process in which biomass is converted into a highly carbonaceous, charcoal-like material
Carbonization
refers to the nonorganic portion of the total solids
Fixed solids
it is a comprehensive air quality management policy and program which aims to achieve and maintain healthy air for all Filipinos
R.A 8749 or Clean Air Act of 1999
This is colorless and highly flammable which is formed from the microbial degradation of organic matter under anaerobic conditions
Methane
The replacement or interchange of ions bonded electrostatically to exchange sites on soil particles and soil organic components with similarly charged ions in the soil solution is known as
Ion exchange and adsorption
It is the principal nutrient leached to groundwater and is highly soluble, mobile and not readily degraded under aerobic conditions
Nitrate
All organic matter contains nitrogen in combination with one or more other elements
FALSE
High level of alkalinity and pH inhibits seed germination
FALSE/BONUS
The rate at which dissolved oxygen is consumed increases as K increases
TRUE
The quantity of wastes produced by the agricultural sector is substantially higher than wastes generated by other industries
FALSE
A filtration system that is poorly constructed or operated can overload the soil ecosystem with high levels of suspended particles from wastewater, clogging soil pores and reducing soil hydraulic conductivity
TRUE
Charcoal filtration gives better result than sand filtration
TRUE
Most freshwater fish and bugs cannot tolerate high values of total suspended solids because they are not adapted to saline water
FALSE
Water health can deteriorate if too many nutrients flow into the water
TRUE
