Presentation transcript:

Pollution Pollution can be anything that is added to the environment that hurts it Pollution can cause people, animals, and plants to get sick or die

Types of Pollution There are four major types: Water pollution Air pollution Land pollution Scenic pollution Noise pollution

NIMBY - Not In My Backyard For eight years, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), along with other wealthy Cape Cod NIMBY residents have stymied the development of an offshore wind project called Cape Wind. The NIMBY Smackdown: Cape Wind Project Gets its First Go-Ahead RFK Jr. and other prominent enviros face off over Cape Cod wind farm

How does pollution get into the stream? Put there on purpose = POINT SOURCE Factories Sewage Treatment Acid Mine Drainage Not on purpose, run-off = NONPOINT Fertilizer on lawns Sediment Pesticides

Kinds of pollution Dirt/sediment Fertilizers (nitrates) Soap (phosphates) Oil or Gasoline Bacteria Heat Pesticides, Chemicals, Metals Trash or Litter

Where does it come from? Dirt/Sediment Bare areas with exposed dirt Fertilizer Gardens, yards, plants and farms Illegal biowaste - Seelyville, PA Soap Washing cars, grey water, soap used outside

Where does it come from? Oil or Gasoline Parking Lots, Driveways Bacteria Animal wastes

Where does it come from? Heat Power plants Pesticides, Chemicals, Metals Farm fields, Landfills, Acid Mine Drainage Trash or Litter Landfills Humans

What are we doing about these problems? Dirt/Sediment Why do we need good soil? It takes 1,000 years to make 2 inches The world has to eat! Soil Conservation Plowing techniques can prevent soil erosion Strip Cropping Contour Farming Terracing

What are we doing about these problems? Dirt/Sediment Rock-lined Ditches (Rip Rap) Retention Basins Siltation Fences

Get the Pollution Solution! Fertilizers (nitrates) Limit amount used Manure Storage Facility Only apply during prime time for absorption Use as much natural vs. artificial

Get the Pollution Solution! Soap (Phosphates) Use none or less Dilute whenever possible Combine partial bottles Phosphate free detergents

Get the Pollution Solution! Oil or Gasoline Recycle (Wal-mart) Fix leaky cars Use alternate energy resources

Get the Pollution Solution! Bacteria Heat/Sterilize contaminated substances Sanitary Landfills - Cover landfills with dirt Wash your hands

Get the Pollution Solution! Heat Cooling Towers for Power Plants Use river water to cool within plants Mix household water with cooler water

Get the Pollution Solution! Pesticides, Chemicals, Metals Dilute pesticides Only use the correct ones Dilute chemicals poured down the drain Acid Mine Reclamation Avoid fracking for Natural Gas Metal Replacement

Get the Polution Solution! Trash or Litter Composting Bioremediation Tanks Incineration Reduce Source Reduction Biodegradable Reuse Recycling
