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.
