See link below: Answer: The popular image of polluted water is a stinking, black, septic fluid with bilious green foam and the odd dead fish or bird floating in it covering a bed of oozing sludge.. Wrong. Water hat is so polluted that you would become very ill if you drank it can be clear and cold with a neat sandy bottom. Iy all depends on the pollutant. Arsenic and other heavy metals, acids, alkalis, and microorganisms from sewage do not affect the appearance of water at all. This is why water must be analyzed to determine the presence or absence of pollution. Using your senses can give you very misleading information.
polluted water has some chemicals that are harmful to our bodies...if we drink that water,it may cause some diseases^^

What is water pollution and describe how concerns us?
Definition:
It is a phenomenon where the water gets mixed up naturally or by industrial or biological wastes and toxic gases.
Causes:
1. Industrial wastes
2. Washing clothes and bathing in the water bodies like lakes, rivers, etc.
Consequences:
1. The water gets polluted, so that the usage of that water for drinking causes formation of stones in kidneys.
2. If we use that water in dying industry, the shades of the clothes gets changed.
3. If that water is used in the pharmaceutical industry, then the composition of the medicines gets changed and results in the formation of undesired toxic products.
Conclusion:
The water from the seas, oceans and the brackish waters are saline and they are not pure water bodies. Where as the water from the rivers and lakes is purer than those of the saline water bodies. More over, Rain water is the purest form of water, which is 100% pollution free.

What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing?
What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing? Fluoride is found naturally in soil and water. However, because it is helpful in preventing tooth decay and in making teeth stronger, it is also added to water in most cities. Fluoride protects teeth from the demineralization that is caused by acid buildup in the mouth. Further, if there is already damage caused by this acid, fluoride will help strengthen the enamel and remineralize the teeth. Fluoride helps make tooth enamel more resistant to the acid that can damage the enamel and cause cavities.
How could energy conservation help to control or decrease air water and land pollution?
Conserving energy resources reduces the amount of fossil fuels that are burned, which reduces air pollution. Reductions in fossil fuel consumption would reduce the need for petroleum and natural gas drilling, as well as the need for coal mining. Reducing these activities would reduce water and land pollution.

What are the factors of land pollution?
Many things, including the following: Gas, factories, trash, cigarettes, and many more. I can explain them to the best of my thought. Gas, because it runs off cars, gas is very harmful to the air, and which is caused by land. Factories are just like gas, no need to re-explain myself. Trash. When we do trash, all we do is put it under the land to decompose. That's really bad for the soil, leaving us less available space to farm. Latly, cigarettes, they do gas and are left on ground.

Why is carbon monoxide such as dangerous form of indoor air pollution?
Your red blood cells in the blood stream have a larger attraction for carbon monoxide that they do for oxygen. This means that you can breathe carbon monoxide fine, but later on, it will eventually kill you. The reason it is so dangerous is because people may be breathing without knowing they are, and once they start breathing it, then there is no escape.
