Which of the following is not listed as a major category of water pollution? Plastics Erosion Acid deposition Heat

True or false? Flooding tends to produce cleaner drinking water by flushing rivers and streams of debris and pollutants. True False

The oxygen sag curve is caused by: Inorganic wastes Oxygen-demanding wastes Sediments Plant nutrients

True or false? Since 1972, algal blooms in the Great Lakes have decreased.

Groundwater cannot cleanse itself of degradable wastes quickly because of all but which one of the following reasons? It has a high concentration of dissolved oxygen It flows slowly It has small populations of decomposing bacteria Cold temperatures slow down decomposing chemical reactions

Which of the following is a major groundwater pollutant in parts of India and Bangladesh? Fluoride Arsenic Selenium PCBs
