Define the terms potable and pathogens as related to water treatment?
Potable means water that is safe and fit to drink. Pathogens are disease causing organisms, such as bacteria. Water that contains living pathogens is not potable, That water would need to be treated to kill the pathogens or remove them- chlorination, filtration, etc.
Why are coliforms selected as the indicator of water potability?
Coliforms are used as an indicator of water portability because they may be associated with the sources of pathogens that contaminates the water and they can be easily cultured and detected.
What organ system blocks the entrance of pathogens into the body and prevents the loss of water from the body?
The integumentary system (skin) blocks the entrance of pathogens and prevents the loss of water.
Where are pathogens found?
catiminatd food or water
Is there a list of pathogens which can be observed with staining.?
There is no index of pathogens which are observable with or without staining. Pathogens can now be detected in flowing fluids, but cannot be identified. The signals now received indicate the size of the cluster only. This represents a major advance as it means that drinking water can be interogated for presence of bacteria.
Does water provide a habitat in which pathogens breed?
Yes
What is the solution for waterborn diseases?
water born disease are generally occur due to contaminated water i.e. contamination of some kind of pathogens or some harmfull compounds now the contamination of pathogens can be removed or over come by boiling water before use, and of dissolve harmfull or toxic compound we have to fillter water some time ultra fillteration is required.
What is the introduction of chemical physical or biological agents into water that degrade the water called?
Pathogens.
Which source of natural water is free from pathogen?
Subterranean water is generally free from pathogens
If pathogens are present in drinking water what will happen?
If pathogens are present in drinking water, they can cause waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid fever when consumed. It is important to treat contaminated water to eliminate these pathogens before consumption to prevent illness.
How effective is UV light water treatment in eliminating harmful bacteria and pathogens from water sources?
UV light water treatment is highly effective in eliminating harmful bacteria and pathogens from water sources. UV light damages the DNA of microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing and causing illness. This method is widely used for water disinfection due to its efficiency and ability to target a wide range of pathogens.
Why is sewage dangerous water pollutant?
It contains pathogens which can spread disease.
