Question 1: The welding process in the automobile repair shops is anticipated to generate waste that can be classified as hazardous waste. The solid waste that emanates from the welding process includes slag from arch welding, spatter from the arching process, and the stubs from used welding electrodes. The gaseous wastes that emanate from the welding process include the poisonous fumes from melting metal at high temperatures. Other emissions that constitute hazardous wastes include air emissions and sparks from burning oxyacetylene gas. The solid and gaseous wastes are regarded as hazardous owing to the fact that they cause shocks, environmental pollution, potential fires and eye damage, among other hazards.

Overhauling the engine may be perceived to be expensive at the reconditioning instance. Nonetheless, once accomplished, it saves oil that could be wasted through being burnt by the worn engine, which would otherwise be costlier than the cost incurred in overhauling the engine. With respect to the environment, overhauling is better than adding oil to a worn engine. This is because the higher the amount of oil added to a worn engine, the higher the waste oil emanating from burning, thus the higher the rate of oil-related pollution. Additionally, the higher the amount of oil added to a worn engine, the higher the consumption of oil, and thus the higher the rate of depletion of natural resources used to prepare the …show more content…
This also serves as a means of minimizing the amount of oils that goes to waste, thereby minimizing rates of adding oil to the equipment, which would be costly in terms of obtaining the oil and depleting the natural resources used in synthesizing the oil.
Question 6: Reconditioning equipment that leaks oil is related to sustainability in the sense that it helps in maintaining a clean environment through pollution minimization in the workplace and the broader external environment as well. Besides protecting the environment from harm from pollution, the practice ensures that natural oil resources are conserved through over-exploitation reduction. Consequently, this promotes sustainability, where continuous availability of these resources as well as a clean environment is guaranteed for current and future generations.
Question 7: The big concern in repairing a car with fiberglass filling is the generation of residues of fiberglass dust that collects on the workshop floor during the sanding process. This necessitates the presence of refuse dumpsters into which the residue material majorly consisting of fiberglass dust is collected and
