Every chemical that goes to rivers and lakes are water pollutants.
Rain water does contain salts but not those which are found in sea water. Rain contains salts which are usually obtained from atmospheric pollutants such as nitrates, sulphates, and so on.
Bioremediation mostly involves the use of microorganisms and plants to revome pollutants from water and soil. Some microorganisms like archea, bacteria, fingi etc are capable of metobilsm pollutants and in the process degrading them into less harmful byproducts thereby reducing their levels in the environment. Others through some metabolic pathways can alter the form of certain pollutants into less harmful ones. eg some bacteria are capable of altering the oxidation state of certain metal ions to less toxic forms. Also some plant species have specialized tissues that enable them absorb certain pollutants like heavy metals etc and thus reduce the levels of such pollutants in the environment. After absorbing the pollutants, the plant material could be harvested and incinerated.
hazardous waste
A substance discharged into the air
Virtually all types of rock will sink in water. The only rock that can float on water is pumice.
There are many types of pollutants, and they are classified by the parts of the environment they pollute. The most common are water pollutants and air pollutants.
Secondary pollutants. Secondary pollutants are pollutants caused by man. Which consider smog, chemical pollution,ect.. Primary pollutants. primary pollutants are pollutants that are caused by nature. Volcano's eruptions etc. pollution can be caused in the air water sound and any where in the environment
water vapor, oxidized
Pollutants are energy or substances that have adverse or undesired effects when introduced into the environment. In nature, pollutants include stock pollutants and notable pollutants.
things that cause pollution (ie noise, air, water)
YES BECAUSE some pollutants are evaporated with water
There are too many possible pollutants to give a satisfactory answer to your question. Salt is not a pollutant in cooking, but it is in drinking water. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant when we breathe it in and out, but it is a serious pollutant in the atmosphere.
It depends upon the types of pollutants, but a common result is acid rain.
Dispersing pollutants in larger volumes of water is called dilution.
Precipitation can carry pollutants in water whereby when moisture rises and mixes with gases from industries thereby condensing and falling back as acid rain may carry the pollutants into water.
Some of the major types of water pollutants are chemical pollution, nutrient pollution, and microbial pollution. Ways to reduce microbiological pollution are by having facilities to clean the water. To reduce nutrient pollution stop using fertilizers and to reduce chemical pollution monitor companies more closely to stop them from dumping chemicals into the water.
Different pollutants may harm the water cycle. It can make the water acidic.
