Occupational Safety and Health Administration b. Environmental Protection Agency c. Better Business Bureau d. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety

The answer is c. Recycle and compost

Incineration involves burning waste materials, which can lead to air pollution and is generally less preferred due to environmental concerns.

Energy recovery involves converting waste materials into usable heat, electricity, or fuel. While it is a beneficial process, it is not as sustainable as recycling and composting.

Recycling and composting are considered the most environmentally friendly methods for managing a product's end-of-life waste. Recycling helps conserve resources and reduce pollution, while composting returns organic materials to the soil, enriching it.

Reuse is highly preferred as it extends the life of a product, but it is not always applicable to all types of waste, making recycling and composting more universally applicable.

The answer is a. permanent and preventable

Noise-induced hearing loss is indeed permanent because once the hair cells in the cochlea are damaged, they do not regenerate. However, it is preventable through measures such as using ear protection and reducing exposure to loud noises.

This is incorrect because noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented with proper precautions.

This is incorrect as noise-induced hearing loss is permanent.

This is incorrect because there are effective measures to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.

The answer is d. type of music

Sound level is a critical factor affecting hearing loss; higher sound levels can cause more damage.

Distance to the sound source affects the intensity of the sound reaching the ear, influencing the risk of hearing loss.

Longer exposure times to loud sounds increase the risk of hearing loss.

The type of music itself is not a factor affecting hearing loss; rather, it is the volume and duration of exposure that matter.
