Now a day’s water pollution is a major and most important problem due to discharge of untreated industrial effluents into nearby water bodies [36, 37]. Water pollution problem is present in both developing and developed countries. Human activities are major contributors to water pollution. The polluting substances include pathogenic organisms, plant nutrients that stimulate algal blooms, inorganic and organic toxic substances [38]. Water used in every industry and effluent is disposed to the environment
Industrial Wastewater Pollution In recent year due to the development in many industries such as light and heavy industries, it bring the higher potential effect to the environment. Even thought, these industries can give the benefits to the economy around the world, but the creation of the pollutant from these industries will produce the large amount of waste that harmful to human and environment. There are many kind of pollution likes water, air, noise and soil pollution that come out from the
Pollution is a term applied to any environmental state or manifestation which is harmful or unpleasant to life, resulting from failure to achieve or maintain control over the chemical, physical or biological consequences or side effects of human scientific, industrial and social habits (Feugo, 2008; Anderson et al., 2005). From another perspective, water pollution refers to any physical, biological or chemical change in water quality that adversely affects living organisms and makes water unsuitable
Introduction An adequate supply of safe drinking water is one of the major prerequisites for a healthy life (Harrison, 2014). Here in the United States we are blessed with many environmental resources, however we do not realize the importance of those resources let alone how to use them correctly. For example, the water quality in countries like India is greatly affected by the pollution of their rivers, lakes and seas. The main reason for this pollution is due to the excessive industrial, agriculture
EFFECTS OF WATER POLLUTION. There are numerous effects of water pollution. Some of these effects can be recognized immediately, whereas others are not recognized immediately, thus may show up for months or years. Some of these effects of water pollution include: The damage in food chain. When the water is toxicated, the toxins will move from the water to animals who drinks the water and when humans also eat the meat of these animals the toxic is transferred to them which is definitely going to cause
Water pollution is an epidemic in China. Most of the pollution comes from companies that try to recycle the waste, but all they end up doing is more harm to the environment. China recycles everything from plastic to electronic parts. More cancer is popping up in villages due to the contaminated water. From the water they drink to the water they use to wash their clothes, all of it has harsh chemicals in it. China takes in so much trash that they don’t know what to do with it. Thus, it has resulted
Despite their different sources, both mining waste and agro-chemical waste pollute the water in Guyana. Agricultural activity has always been an important economic driver in Guyana, most significantly along the low coastal plain, alongside the coastline bordering the ocean and in between large rivers and waterways. It can be said then, that agricultural activity is very closely intertwined with the water environment. Pesticides, weedicides and fertilizers have been used in all agricultural activity
Water pollution is one of the biggest threats to the environment today. There are several sources of water pollution ranging from sewage and fertilizers to soil erosion. The impact of water pollution on wildlife and their natural habitat can be immense. One of the main causes of water pollution which I am going to talk about in this paper is using chemical in agricultural land. For growing good crops often we used chemical fertilizer which can be harmful for environment. The use of chemical in
of various water-borne diseases, such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery, hepatitis, jaundice, etc. The presence of acids/alkalis in water destroys the Microorganisms, thereby hindering the self-purification process in the rivers or water bodies. Agriculture is affected badly due to polluted water. Marine ecosystems are affected adversely. The sewage waste promotes the growth of phytoplankton in water bodies; causing reduction of dissolved oxygen. Poisonous industrial wastes present in water bodies affect
2018 The Negative Effects of Water Pollution The majority of all marine ships dispose of their waste by throwing it into the sea (Wroble 41). If they are caught doing this they can be charged for littering and be given anywhere between a three hundred to a two thousand dollar fine (this fine can be more or less depending on where it occurred). Furthermore, if what is being dumped is considered hazardous to the environment a jail sentence can be given to the perpetrator (“How Can Water…”). As you can
