Chapter 14 Water Pollution

Water Pollution Water pollution- the contamination of streams, rivers, lakes, oceans, or groundwater with substances produced through human activities and that negatively affect organisms. Point sources- distinct locations that pump waste into a waterway. Nonpoint sources- diffuse areas such as an entire farming region that pollutes a waterway.

Human Wastewater Water produced by human activities such as human sewage from toilets and gray water from bathing and washing clothes or dishes.

Three reasons scientists are concerned about human wastewater: Oxygen-demanding wastes like bacteria that put a large demand for oxygen in the water Nutrients that are released from wastewater decomposition can make the water more fertile causing eutrophication Wastewater can carry a wide variety of disease- causing organisms.

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) BOD- the amount of oxygen a quantity of water uses over a period of time at a specific temperature. Lower BOD values indicate the water is less polluted and higher BOD values indicate it is more polluted by wastewater.

Eutrophication Eutrophication is an abundance of fertility to a body of water. Eutrophication is caused by an increase in nutrients, such as fertilizers. Eutrophication can cause a rapid growth of algae which eventually dies, causing the microbes to increase the BOD.

Common Diseases from Human Wastewater Cholera Typhoid fever Stomach flu Diarrhea Hepatitis

Treatments for Human and Animal Wastewater Septic systems- a large container that receives wastewater from the house.

Treatments for Human and Animal Wastewater Sewage Treatment Plants- centralized plants in areas with large populations that receive wastewater via a network of underground pipes.

Treatments for Human and Animal Wastewater Manure lagoons- large, human-made ponds line with rubber to prevent the manure from leaking into the groundwater. After the manure is broken down by bacteria, it is spread onto fields as fertilizers.

Heavy Metals and Other Substances that can threaten human Health and the Environment Lead Arsenic Mercury Acids Synthetic compounds (pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and hormones)

Oil Pollution

Ways to Remediate Oil Pollution Containment using booms to keep the floating oil from spreading. Chemicals that help break up the oil, making it disperse before it hits the shoreline. Bacteria that are genetically engineered to consume oil

Other Water Pollutants Solid waste pollution (garbage) Sediment pollution (sand, silt and clay) Thermal pollution Noise pollution

Water Laws Clean Water Act- (1972) supports the “protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water”. Issued water quality standards that defined acceptable limits of various pollutants in U.S. waterways.

Water Laws Safe Drinking Water Act- (1974, 1986, 1996) sets the national standards for safe drinking water. It is responsible for establishing maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for 77 different elements or substances in both surface water and groundwater.
