Water Quality and Contamination Research and its Importance Ursurla L. C. Waller SCI 207 Dependence of Man on the Environment Professor Wayne Davis 2014 September 20 Abstract This report analyses the ability of ordinary substances to pollute water sources‚ filtration techniques‚ as well as the quality of tap and bottled waters. This report discusses the availability of clean water sources‚ factors that affects the quality of water‚ agents of water contamination‚ and how the earth naturally filters

What is Soil..?? • Soil is the thin layer of organic and inorganic materials that covers the Earth ’s rocky surface. • Soil is composed of particles of broken rock that have been altered by chemical and mechanical processes that include weathering and erosion

enters the soil‚ and eventually makes its way into our river systems by filtering through the soil or by direct run-off‚ and finally ends up in the sea. When these pesticides get into water bodies they cause “eutrophication” which is the growth of excess algae in the water . These algae tend to compete with the living aquatic organisms in the water bodies for the available oxygen resulting to the death of some aquatic organisms. POPs do not readily break down; they pollute the air‚ soil‚ rivers and

Lead-Contaminated Soil in Different Soil Treatments” particularly studied the plants capability in extracting the heavy metal Lead (Pb) from contaminated soils collected by the river banks of the Marilao River in Bulacan. Prior to experimentation‚ we tested for the initial Pb content of the soil and found that there is a high level of Pb in the soil which is not surprising for the collection site is near a car battery smelter. In the experimentation proper‚ we used the plant and different soil amendments/treatments

Some of the major sources of these pollutants are mining‚ smelting‚ mellaurgical industries‚ sewage sludge treatment‚ fertilizers‚ warfare and military training‚ electronic industries etc. (Padmavathiamma and Li 2007). There are several ways to remediate the soil chemically‚ physically‚ or biologically. However‚ chemical and physical treatments may seem to affect the soil properties heavily‚ affect biodiversity‚ make soil less fertile for plant growth and can

Salt comes in many forms in the natural environment—calcium‚ magnesium‚ carbonate‚ sodium chloride‚ bicarbonate‚ and sulphate. Many landscapes are naturally saline‚ but secondary salinity isn’t so natural‚ occurring when salts from deep within the earth are dissolved and deposited into soil and water as a result of human activity. This can happen in one of two

This radioactive dust‚ consisting of material either directly vaporized by a nuclear blast or charged by exposure‚ is a highly dangerous kind of radioactive contamination. It can lead to the contamination of aquifers or soil and devastate the affected ecosystems years after the initial exposure.
