Causes Ecosystem Disruption :

The most common of these is Escherichia coli (E. coli). Many strains of bacteria are normal symbionts in mammals, but some, such as Shigella, Salmonella, or Lysteria, can cause fatal diseases.

MAJOR CATEGORIES OF WATER POLLUTANTS:

Detecting specific pathogens in water is difficult, time consuming, and costly; thus, water quality control personnel usually analyze water for the presence of coliform bacteria, any of the many types that live in the colon or intestines of humans and other animals.

The main source of these pathogens is untreated or improperly treated human wastes.

The most serious water pollutants in terms of human health worldwide

Pathogenic Organism

Organic waste, such as sewage, paper pulp, or food waste, is rich in nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus.

Oxygen is removed from water by respiration and chemical processes that consume oxygen

Oxygen is added to water by diffusion from the air, especially when turbulence and mixing rates are high, and by photosynthesis of green plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.

OXYGEN LEVELS

Water with less than 2 ppm oxygen will support mainly worms, bacteria, fungi, and other detritus feeders and decomposers.

Water with an oxygen content of 6 ppm will support game

The amount of oxygen dissolved in water is a good indicator of water quality and of the kinds of life it will support

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)

Dissolved Oxygen (DO)

Oxygen Sag

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)

It is the oxygen decline downstream. Upstream from the pollution source, oxygen levels support normal populations of clean-water organisms. Immediately below the source of pollution, oxygen levels begin to fall as decomposers metabolize waste materials.

OXYGEN LEVELS

Content directly, using an oxygen electrode. The DO content of water depends on factors other than pollution.

It uses a strong oxidizing agent (dichromate ion in 50% sulfuric acid) to completely breakdown all organic matter in a water sample.

It is the amount of dissolved oxygen that must be present in water in order for microorganisms to decompose the organic matter in the water

Further downstream, the water may become so oxygen-depleted that only the most resistant microorganisms and invertebrates can survive. This is called the “dead zone”.

OXYGEN LEVELS

Calumpang River with Eutrophication

It appears that fish and other marine species die in these polluted zones not only because oxygen is depleted but also because high concentrations of harmful organisms.

Extensive dead zones often form where rivers dump oxygen depleting nutrients into estuaries and shallow seas

The largest algal bloom ever recorded in China has turned the Yellow Sea green.

The water often becomes cloudy or turbid and has unpleasant tastes and odors.

Eutrophication has undesirable results.

As with BOD, nutrient enrichment sewage, fertilizer run-off, even decomposing leaves in street gutters can produce human-caused increase in biological productivity called cultural eutrophication.

Eutrophic (eu + trophic = truly nourished) – waters that are rich in organisms and organic materials.

Oligotrophic (oligo = little + trophic = nutrition) – rivers and lakes that have clear water and low biological productivity

EUTROPHICATION

Inorganic Chemicals that Causes Water Pollution

INORGANIC POLLUTANTS

• Mine drainage and leaching of mining wastes are serious sources of metal pollution in water.

• Currently the most widespread toxic metal contamination problem in North America is mercury released from coal-burning power plants.

• Metals are highly persistent; therefore, they can accumulate in food webs and have a cumulative effect in top predators – including humans.

METALS

Inorganic Chemicals that Causes Water Pollution

ARSENIC

SELENIUM

• In 1980s there is a widespread chronic arsenic poisoning in Bengali village. The symptoms include watery and inflamed eyes, gastrointestinal cramps, gradual loss of strength, dry skin and skin tumors, anemia, confusion, and eventually death.

• The largest human population threatened by naturally occurring arsenic in groundwater is in West Bengal, India, and eastern Bangladesh.

• Salts, such as sodium chloride, that are non-toxic at low concentrations also can be mobilized by irrigation and concentrated by evaporation, reaching levels that are toxic for many plants and animals.

NONMETALLIC SALTS

Inorganic Chemicals that Causes Water Pollution

• Increased acidity may result in leaching of toxic metals, especially aluminum, from soil and rocks, making water unfit for drinking or irrigation, as well.

• Aquatic damage due to acid precipitation has been reported in about 200 lakes in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State and in several thousand lakes in eastern Quebec, Canada.

• Coal mining is the most significant source of acid water pollution.

• released as by-products of industrial processes

ACID AND BASES

Inorganic Chemicals that Causes Water Pollution

Include drugs, pesticides, and other industrial substances

Countless other organic compounds also enter our water. People simply dump unwanted food, medicines, and health supplements down the toilet or sink. More often we consume more than our bodies can absorb, and we excrete the excess, which passes through sewage treatment facilities relatively unchanged.

The two most important sources of toxic organic chemicals in water are improper disposal of industrial and household wastes and runoff of pesticides from farm fields, forests, roadsides, golf courses, and other places where they are used in large quantities.

ORGANIC POLLUTANTS

On July 3, 2020, an oil spill from a power barge in Iloilo City due to an explosion and the oil reached Guimaras.

The release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially the marine ecosystem, due to human activity

According to the Smithsonian Institution, by far the greatest amount of oil leaked into the ocean every year comes from routine, intentional oil dumping.

Oil spills from shipwrecks and well blowouts, such as the 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, can be disastrous for ecosystems and local economies.

OIL SPILLS

A fine-grained particles like silt and clay, generally occurring as a result of soil erosion. As rainfall washes away bare soil or a stream erodes a muddy bank, sediment makes it into waterways.

SEDIMENTS

How to prevent sedimentation:

turbidity curtains

sediment barriers

storm drain filters

Occur where power plants and other industries use water in their cooling systems and then discharge the warm water into a lake or river.

Raising or lowering water temperatures from normal levels can adversely affect water quality and aquatic life.

Water Quality Today

China's surface water is unsafe for human consumption

70%

Source Reduction

• The cheapest and most effective way to reduce pollution is usually to avoid producing it or releasing it to the environment in the first place.

• Elimination of lead from gasoline has resulted in a widespread and significant decrease in the amount of lead in surface waters in the United States.

• Industry can reduce pollution by recycling or reclaiming materials that otherwise might be discarded in the waste.

Water Quality

Controlling Nonpoint Sources

• Among the greatest remaining challenges in water pollution control are diffuse, nonpoint pollution sources.

• Unlike point sources, nonpoint sources have many origins and numerous routes by which contaminants enter ground and numerous routes by which contaminants enter ground and surface water.

Urban runoff

Agriculture

Pollutants carried by runoff from streets, parking lots, and industrial sites contain salts, oily residues, rubber, metals, and many industrial toxins.

The EPA estimates that 60% of all impaired or threatened surface waters are affected by sediment from eroded fields and overgrazed pastures; fertilizers, pesticides, and nutrients from croplands; and animal wastes from feedlots.

Main Causes of Nonpoint Pollution

Land Disposal

Construction Sites

certain kinds of industrial waste, sewage sludge, and biodegradable garbage can be a good way to dispose of unwanted material. Some poorly run land disposal sites, abandoned dumps, and leaking septic systems, however, contaminate local waters.

New buildings and land development projects such as highway construction affect relatively small areas but produce vast amounts of sediment, typically 10 to 20 times as much per unit area as farming.

Main Causes of Nonpoint Pollution

Municipal Sewage Treatment

• Over the past 100 years, sanitary engineers have developed ingenious and effective municipal wastewater treatment systems to protect human health, ecosystem stability, and water quality

The first step in the municipal waste treatment.

Primary Treatment

Aerobic digester tank

Trickling filter

Consists of biological degradation of dissolved organic compounds.

Secondary Treatment

Constructed wetlands

Effluent Sewage

water is passed through fine filters or membranes to screen out dissolved impurities.

FILTRATION

02

DISTILLATION

Two basic methods used to purify water of dissolved minerals

involves heating or boiling water full of dissolved minerals.
