There could be many factors that cause water pollution such as:
- Human Trash ( wrappers, plastic garbage, etc.)
- Human Waste
- Chemicals dumped by hospitals and other companies ( hospitals dump test chemicals into a river)
- Runoff of chemical fertilizers and pesticides from farm fields
What else can I help you with?
What are the examples of pollutants?
Some examples of pollutants include carbon monoxide (carbon emissions into the air) and lead emissions into water sources. Most of the lead and metallic substances that end up in the river streams are from industrial processes.
What type of pollutant Fertilizers such as nitrates and phosphates are examples of?
Fertilizers such as nitrates and phosphates are examples of water pollutants known as nutrient pollutants. These nutrients can cause eutrophication in bodies of water, leading to excessive algae growth and oxygen depletion, which can harm aquatic ecosystems.
What are some Ill-effects of different pollutants?
chemicals and waste products are examples of pollutants
What is qualitative pollutants?
Qualitative pollutants refer to pollutants that can be observed directly through sensory experiences, such as odor or color. These pollutants may not necessarily have specific numerical measurements associated with them but can still pose health and environmental risks. Examples include foul odors, discoloration of water bodies, or visible particulate matter in the air.
Dust and pollen in the air are examples of what?
They are suspensions and pollutants.
What are examples of liquid pollutants?
Examples of liquid pollutants include industrial discharges such as heavy metals, oils, and chemicals that enter waterways from factories. Agricultural runoff containing pesticides and fertilizers also contributes to water pollution. Additionally, sewage and wastewater from households can introduce pathogens and nutrients, leading to harmful algal blooms. These pollutants can severely impact aquatic ecosystems and human health.
When water evaporates and condensates does it still contain pollutants?
YES BECAUSE some pollutants are evaporated with water
What is dispersing pollutants in larger volumes of water referred to as?
Dispersing pollutants in larger volumes of water is called dilution.
Any foreign material added to air or bodies of water is called?
Foreign material that is added to air or bodies of water are called pollutants. Examples would be smog, oil, smoke, and trash.
Precipitataions that can carry pollutants into water?
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.
What are examples of physical pollutants?
Examples of physical pollutants include litter, industrial waste, plastic debris, and sediment runoff. These pollutants can harm ecosystems, clog waterways, and impact wildlife by disrupting their habitats.
Types of water pollutants?
Industry, Animals, Agriculture, and Runoff from roads
