Following are some pictures of disasters. Which precautions would you take during those disasters?

The countries which do not have oil reservoirs in their land import oil from other countries. But sometimes during transporting oil through sea routes, accidental oil spilling occurs. This oil spilled in the ocean may prove fatal and toxic to aquatic animals. Therefore, removel of this spilled oil is essential for protection of aquatic life. For removing this oil layer, certain microbes like Pseudomonas spp. and Alcanivarax borkumensis are used. These microbes have the ability to destroy the pyridines and other toxic chemicals. The hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB) are able to decompose the hydrocarbons and bring about the reaction carbon with oxygen resulting in formation of CO_(2) and water. Like oil spills cause damage to aquatic life. plastic forms the major part of the garbage on land. Plastics are difficult to degrade as they are made up of PET. By research, various species like Vibrio and Idenoella sakaiensis which can degrade PET have been identified. There are certain species of microbes which can decompose rubber from garbage. Based on the given paragraph answer the following question. Which type of chemical compounds are degraded by microbes used for clearing oil spills ?

State whether the following statement are True or False. Explain your statement : Though any amount of pollutants are added to the soil , the toxic substances do not leach into water.

Paragraph based Questions : Read the paragraph and answer the, questions given below: Sulphuric acid is present in the acid rain and materials coming out of mines . You know that erosion of metals present in statues, bridges and buildings occurs due to it. Sulphuric acid is a source of energy for some species of bacteria like Acidophilum spp. and Acidobacillus ferrooxidans Hence. these bacteria can control the soil pollution occurring due to acid rain water soluble salts of uranium are present in the wastes produced during electroplating and in effluent released in the environment from the atomic energy Plant. Geobacter convert these salts of uranium into insoluble salts and thereby prevent those salts from mixing with groundwater sources. What kind of pollution do these bacteria control?
