    Water Pollution Sources Details

    Uploaded by

    Hitesh Parihar
    This document discusses the various types of water pollution including sewage, diseases causing agents, sediment pollutants, inorganic pollutants, organic pollutants, and radioactive pollutants. Sewage from drains and sewers contains human waste and chemicals that can deplete oxygen levels in water. Disease agents from human and animal waste can spread illness. Sediment accumulates from soil erosion and plant/animal decomposition. Inorganic pollutants like metals are increased by human production. Organic pollutants like DDT can decrease water quality and oxygen. Radioactive pollution stems from nuclear material mining, power, weapons, and medical procedures.

    WATER POLLUTION IN DETAILS

    1.SEWAGE :
    ►WASTEWATER FROM DRAINS OR SEWERS(FROM TOILETS ,WASHING MACHINE
    ,AND SHOWERS)INCLUDES HUMAN WASTE , SOAPS AND DETERGENTS.
    ►THE RELEASE OF SEWAGE INTO WATER CAUSES SEVERAL POLLUTION PROBLEM
    ►SEWAGE ALSO GENERATED TWO SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN
    WATER ,ENRICHMENT AND OXYGEN DEMAND.

    2.DISEASES CAUSING AGENT :


    ►DISEASES CAUSING AGENTS ARE INFECTIOUS ORGANISMS THAT CAUSE DISEASES THEY COME FROM THE
    WASTE OF INFECTED INDIVIDUALS.
    ►MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER USUALLY CONTAINS MANY BACTERIA, VIRUSES, PROTOZOA, AND OTHER
    INFECTIOUS
    AGENTS THAT CAUSE HUMAN OR ANIMALS DISEASES.
    3. SEDIMENT POLLUTANTS:

    ►SEDIMENT CAN COME FROM SOIL EROSION OR FROM THE DECOMPOSITION


    OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS.

    ►WHEN A RIVER FLOWS INTO A LAKE OR OCEANS ,ITS FLOW VELOCITY


    DECREASES ,AND THE SEDIMENTS OFTEN SETTLE OUT.

    ►OVER TIME, AS SEDIMENT ACCUMULATE, NEW LAND IS FORMED.


    4.INORGANIC POLLUTANTS :

    ►INORGANIC POLLUTION ARE THINGS FOUND NATURALLY BUT BECAUSE OF


    HUMAN PRODUCTION OF GOOD HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO DRASTICALLY
    INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF THEM IN ENVIRONMENT.

    ►THEY INCLUDE FINE PARTICLES OF DIFFERENT METALS, CHLORIDES,


    SULPHATES, OXIDES OF IRON, CADMIUM ACIDS AND ALKALIES.
    5. ORGANIC POLLUTANTS :
    ►ORGANIC POLLUTION IS A TYPE OF CHEMICAL POLLUTION CAUSED BY CARBON
    POLLUTANTS SUCH AS ORGANIC MATTER, ORGANOCHLORIDES (DDT) ETC.

    ► IN THE CASE OF ORGANIC MATTER POLLUTANTS CAN INCREASE WATER


    TURBIDITY AND CAUSE EUTROPHICATION WITH A DECREASE IN THE QUANTITY
    OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN.

    6. RADIOACTIVE POLLUTANTS:

    ►THE RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION IS DEFINED AS THE PHYSICAL POLLUTION


    OF LIVING ORGANISMS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT AS A RESULTS OF RELEASE
    RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
    ►THE SOURCES OF RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION INCLUDE MINING FOR NUCLEAR
    MATERIAL, NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, NUCLEAR WEAPONS, AND THEIR
    TESTING, AS WELL AS MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT PROCEDURES.
