Integrated Pest Management
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment. Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.

15. Nuclear Power
There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power.
The radioactive material must travel from its place of manufacture to the power station. Although the power station themselves are solidly built, the container used for the transport of the materials are not. There are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with the public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.
Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power station produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these waste nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily crack the containers open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards, this is not very likely, so that it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of risks are not great cause for concern. On the whole through, the probability of disaster is still high.
All the statements are correct, except ……
A. It is not impossible to make these waste nonradioactive.
B. The probability of disaster of nuclear power is still high.
C. All nuclear power will produce waste.
D. The methods found by the scientists do not solve the problem

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments.
