Pollution Sources Engineering

Natural: rivers, precipitation

create silt

necessary: nothing is 100%

efficient

increased standard of living

increases waste production

Alternatives Engineering

Pollution can’t be eliminated:

 Change to less objectionable forms
 Reduce the volume - concentration
 Control location and conditions
 Accelerate naturally occurring
reactions
 Problematic when nature’s
balancing
 capacity is exceeded
