Solutions to Plastic Pollution in our Oceans The Basics We ’re treating the oceans like a trash bin: around 80 percent of marine litter originates on land‚ and most of that is plastic. Plastic that pollutes our oceans and waterways has severe impacts on our environment and our economy. Seabirds‚ whales‚ sea turtles and other marine life are eating marine plastic pollution and dying from choking‚ intestinal blockage and starvation. Scientists are investigating the long-term impacts of toxic pollutants

Carbon oxide and Nitrogen oxide are one of the many air pollutants this world is having problems with. As for carbon oxide and nitrogen oxide they fall into the category of a primary pollutant‚ or as so I believe. The reason for why I believe this is because when nitrogen oxide is let out and exposed into the air it can harm the growth of our plants and crops which results us to lose quantities of our food being grown. Also if nitrogen oxide is inhaled it can cause health complications such as asthma

DENITRIFICATION OF CONTAMINATED WATER INTRODUCTION:- This is an eco-friendly and economical project. In this we want to show how to reduce the harmful effects of nitrogen which gets mixed with water by natural hazard or else by man-made hazards. With the help of two types of bacteria like thiobascillus and rod shaped bacteria of bacillus species‚ we want to reduce the adverse effects of the dissolved nitrogen in the water bodies. HYPOTHESIS:- Nitrate-rich water containing denitrifying bacteria

Water Pollution Part II Amanda Norris Groundwater Pollution pg. 502: Describe : Groundwater is the water we drink. Few countries go to the great expense of locating‚ tracking‚ and testing aquifers. Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) contaminate 90% of the U.S. aquifers‚ but 2% of samples had unsafe VOC levels. The US found that ⅓of the 26k industrial waste ponds didn’t have liners to prevent toxic liquid wastes from seeping into aquifers. The EPA had completed the cleanup of 297k of the 436k underground
