Not put pollutants in in the first place....
On a more serious note: bacteria that will feed off the pollutants is usually your best bet. It is infinitely harder to remove pollutants than it is to put them in.
Probably, awareness and regulations, legislation, perhaps fines for people that don't behave themselves.
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is caused by the presence of organic pollutants in water, such as sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial effluents. These organic pollutants provide a food source for bacteria, which consume oxygen as they break down the pollutants, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels in the water.
When careless human activities decrease the amount of plant life, the amount of runoff usually increases. Without sufficient vegetation to absorb water, runoff carries more pollutants and sediment into water bodies, leading to water pollution and sedimentation, which can harm aquatic ecosystems.
no, but it might make it die
YES BECAUSE some pollutants are evaporated with water
Dispersing pollutants in larger volumes of water is called dilution.
Urbanization near the Catskills can lead to increased runoff of pollutants such as sediment, chemicals, and nutrients into water bodies, which can decrease water quality in the region. The impervious surfaces in urban areas can prevent natural filtration processes, leading to more contaminants reaching water sources in the Catskills. Proper land use planning and management practices are essential to help mitigate the impacts of urbanization on water quality in the Catskills.
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.
Industry, Animals, Agriculture, and Runoff from roads
If you exercise and drink no water you decrease the amount of water in your body. You become dehydrated. This is not healthy.
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.
Pollutants. This is in my science homework also :)
