Contaminants in Water

Water is a Solvent Some substances in water are good!

Contaminants contaminant: an undesirable substance in a mixture Where do they come from?

Types of Contaminants Chemical Biological Fertilizers Herbicides Pesticides Salt Minerals Acid Rain Other chemicals Biological Micro-organisms Organic Matter

Check Your Learning 1. Name two parts of the water cycle in which contaminants can be introduced. 2. (a) What are the two main categories of contaminants in water? (b) Why are they a problem? 3. Choose two chemical contaminants that could be found in a freshwater source. For each one, (a) identify a source of the contaminant (b) describe how the contaminant got into the water 4. Briefly describe how a biological contaminant was able to get into groundwater wells at Walkerton.
