Water Pollution
What primary treatment in a sewage plant is designed to remove
Solids
This type of ozone is beneficial, while this type is dangerous
Stratospheric is beneficial
Tropospheric is dangerous
This is the largest component of MSM in the U.S.
Paper
This historical disease is caused by bacteria carried by rodents
Plague
Eutrophic areas are typically created because of this
Increase concentration of nitrates and phosphates (fertilizer)
This is what makes mercury especially dangerous to the general public
Its accumulation as it moves up the aquatic food chain (Small fish --> Bigger fish --> Humans)
This is one of the biggest reasons why carbon monoxide is dangerous to our health
CO bonds with hemoglobin in blood and interferes with oxygen transfer (This is why CO poisoning often kills people by putting them to sleep...Their brain is not getting enough oxygen)
Sanitary landfill
ED50 can be described as this
Human wastewater deposition into bodies of water can cause this
Cultural eutrophication
Pathogen increase in water supply
Presence of fecal coliform bacteria in a lake indicates this
That a more harmful microorganism is in the water
These are the two main HUMAN sources of carbon dioxide
Deforestation
Combustion due to fossil fuels
These are several problems associated with disposal of waste in open dumps
Attraction of pests
Physical hazards
Water pollution
Chemical hazards
The Innocent-Until-Proven-Guilty priniciple states this
Chemicals can enter the marketplace until scientific data definitively demonstrates harm
The Clean Water Acts DOES NOT protect this
Groundwater
Negatives of sediment pollution include these 3 things
Increase in turbidity (cloudiness) of the water
Reduction of sunlight
Clogging of fish gills
These are several methods used to reduce particulate matter emissions
Smokestacks
Filters
Electrostatic precipitators
Scrubbers
This act protects human health and the environment by reducing source hazardous waste
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
The following shows how a chemical can travel through a food chain by this process
Phytoplankton --> Zooplankton --> Small fish --> Large fish
Biomagnification
Affected aquatic systems
Lower pH of lakes
Erosion of marble monuments
Erosion of paint
These are all methods of cleaning oil spills
Bacteria that can consume oil
Chemicals that break up and disperse oil
Plastic barriers
Vacuums
This can cause the breakdown of stratospheric ozone
Emission of CFC's
Free chlorine atoms in atmosphere
These are several reasons why recycling aluminum is beneficial
Reduces effects on land from mining
Reduces effects of leaching
Reduces energy required to transport mind ore
HIV and AIDS cannot be spread by this method
Airborne pathogen
SO2 can come from what sources
Human activities like combustion of fuels
Volcanic eruptions- large quantities
Forest fires-smaller quantities
