• One or more organic chemicals contaminate
about 45% of municipal groundwater supplies in
the US
• About 26000 industrial waste ponds in US do
not have liners
• Leaking undergraound storage tanks
• Nitrates, fluoride, arsenic
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants (degradable)
• Domestic sewage
• Fertilizers
• Some industrial wastes
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants
• Sewage/waste water;
• Fertilizers/Pesticides;
• Alien species
• Global Warming
• Atmospheric Deposition;
• Pathogens; from untreated sewage, storm
drains, septic tanks, runoff from farms
• Petroleum;
• Radioactive substances;
• Heat;
• Siltation/sediments;
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants
• Salinization- Increased salinization and salt
runoff from irrigated farms causes salinization of
major rivers.;
• Heavy metals cause unpleasant taste and odour
to drinking water;
• Suspended particles like sediments
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants
• Warm water from cooling towers (thermal
pollution)
• Floating debris
• Garbage
• Foam
• These physical pollutants interfere mainly with
the usability and/or aesthetic appeal of the
water. In certain cases, thermal pollution can kill
fish.
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants
• Industrial Effluents - This waste water may
contain acids, alkalis, salts, poisons, oils and in
some cases harmful bacteria.
• Mining and Agricultural Wastes Mines,
especially gold and coal mines, are responsible
for large quantities of acid water.
• Agricultural pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides
may wash into rivers and stagnant water bodies.
• Sewage Disposal and Domestic Wastes
Sewage as well as domestic and farm wastes
were often allowed to pollute rivers and dams.
Making earth little softer
Pollutants : Unsewered Towns
• Wastewaters and pollutants from unsewered
Towns
• 22% of wastewater (Class I cities) and 14% of
wastewater (Class II cities) is collected through
sewerage.
• Most cities / towns do not have sewerage
system.
Making earth little softer
Pollutant – Sewage & sullage
• Sewage, sullage and pollutants from Urban
Areas
• Only 40 – 50% of population of major metro
cities are served by sewer systems.
• Sewers often leak
Making earth little softer
Pollutants : Industrial
• Industrial pollutants from cottage / small scale
industries
• 3 million SME in the country
• Causes significant water pollution
Making earth little softer
The toxic industrial waste
• Industries release toxic waste heavy metals
(mercury as a fungicide; lead used in batteries),
Hydrocarbons & Chromium, in rivers and seas
• The metal oxides and other products of the
pharmaceutical industry.
• Hydrocarbons toxic (used to make insecticides -
DDT or processing of plastics and paints)
Making earth little softer
Pollutants : Industrial
• Industrial pollutants from large industries
• Installed Treatment and disposal
• Treated effluents having some pollutants get
leached and causes pollution.
• Waste dumping, ash-ponds, sludge-pits, etc.
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants
• Major water pollutants :
• Pesticides and biocides like BHC, DDT,
Alluminium phosphide, chlor benzilate, lindane,
nicotine sulphate which are highly pollutant so
such pesticide are restricted in India.
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants
• Cadmium and its compounds are used in
various industry they are cadmium acetate,
cadmium sulphide, cadmium oxide, cadmium
carbonate etc.
• The sulphate, chloride and acetate of cadmium
are soluble in water which leads toxicity.
• Floride is universally present in varing amount in
soil and water atmosphere, vegetation and
animal tissue.
• Toxic substance like cyanide, phenol, heavy
metals like mercury, lead, arsenic cause
damage to flora and fauna
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants-Heavy metal
• They are present in all the phase of
environment-air, water and land
• Metal pollutant is include copper, lead, zinc,
chromium, nickel, cadmium, mercury and
selenium.
• Lead is one of the heavy metal pollutant of both
atmosphere and ocean, which is mainly derived
from vehicle burning fuel.
• Mercury is the another very toxic pollutant
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants
• These pollutants enter waterways through
untreated sewage, storm drains, septic tanks,
runoff from farms, and particularly boats that
dump sewage.
• Though microscopic, these pollutants have a
tremendous effect evidenced by their ability to
cause sickness.
Making earth little softer
Water pollutants : Detergents
• Stories about particular pollutant forms:
Detergents
• The nitrates in fertilizers promote excessive
growth of algae and larger aquatic plants,
causing offensive algae blooms and driving out
sport fish.
• Phosphates are often thought to culprit, nitrogen
is the “limiting factor” in most aquatic systems.
Making earth little softer
Pollutant : Thermal pollution
• 26% of all water in U.S. is affected by this
• Up to a point of adding heated water, you can
get thermal enrichment
Adding more heat, You get
• Thermal pollution
Making earth little softer
Non-persistent (degradable)
• These compounds can be broken down by
chemical reactions or by natural bacteria into
simple, non-polluting substances such as
carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
• if the pollution load is high, this process can
lead to low oxygen levels and eutrophication.
• This damage is reversible.
Making earth little softer
Persistent Water pollutants
• Some pesticides (e.g., DDT, dieldrin)
• Some leachate components from landfill sites
(municipal, industrial)
• Petroleum and petroleum products
• PCBs, dioxins, polyaromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs)
• Radioactive materials such as strontium-90,
cesium-137, radium-226, and uranium
• Metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium
Making earth little softer
Persistent Water pollutants
• This is the most rapidly growing type of pollution
• This includes substances that degrade very
slowly or cannot be broken down at all;
• They may remain in the aquatic environment
for years or longer periods of time.
• The damage they cause is either irreversible or
repairable only over decades or centuries
Making earth little softer
Pollutant : Detergents
• The nitrates in fertilizers promote excessive
growth of algae and larger aquatic plants,
causing offensive algae blooms and driving out
sport fish.
• Phosphates are often thought to culprit, nitrogen
is the “limiting factor” in most aquatic systems.
Making earth little softer
Pollutant : Sediments
• The largest form of water pollution
• Erosion is source – we’ve sped up rate of
erosion, e.g. during urban construction can lose
up to 43 tons of topsoil/acre/year
• Natural rates of erosion: leads to aquatic
succession
Making earth little softer
Organic Pollutants
• Three classes of compounds
• Pesticides and Herbicides
• Materials for common household and industrial
use
• Materials for industrial use
Making earth little softer
Inorganic Pollutants
• Examples:
• Pb in gasoline
• Radionuclides
• Phosphorus, nitrogen (Great Lakes)
• Other heavy metals
Making earth little softer
Inorganic Pollutants
• 3 groups
• 1) Produce no heavlth effects until a threshold
concentration is exceeded—e.g., NO3 –ook at ,
50mg/liter; at higher levels:
methaemoglobinaemia
• 2) No threshold—e.g.—genotoxic substances:
some natural and synthetic organic compounds,
microorganic compunds, some pesticides,
arsenic
• 3) Essential to diets: F, I, Se—absence causes
problems, but too much also causes problems
Making earth little softer
Inorganic trace contaminants
• Mercury—methyl Hg and dimethyl Hg in fish—
probably most significant path to humans—
Minamata Bay, Japan, 1950’s
• Rhine River drains 185,000 sq km—heavily
polluted by 1970’s
• Lead—toxicity has been known for a long time
• 1859 book
• Tetraethyl lead—anti-knowck additive for gas,
1930-1966
Making earth little softer
Radionuclides
• Bikini Atoll in South Pacific: > 20 tests, 1946-
1958
• Inhabitants evacuated before 1946 tests; their
descendents are still exiled
• Atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons is now
banned
• National labs…now trying to clean up (Hanford)
Making earth little softer
Phosphates and Nitrates
• Phosphates—mostly a result of sewage outflow
and phosphate detergents
• Additional phosphate grows excess algae…
oxygen depletion, Lake Erie…1972 phosphate
management plant…$7.6 billion
• Nitrates—sewage and fertilizers
Making earth little softer
Pesticides
• Pesticides are one of the most significant
causes of water pollution.
• Farmers spraying large crop fields with chemical
pesticides
• The lawn products that everyday residents
apply to their home lawns results in a higher
pollution per square foot than the farms
• In-ability to remove specific pesticide
contaminants in the water purification process
Making earth little softer
Scale of Pesticide Use in US
• Since 1959: 50-fold increase in pesticide use
• Most present pesticides are 10-100 x more toxic
than those used in 1050’s
• About 25% of pesticide use in US is in houses,
gardens, lawns, parks, swimming pools, and
golf courses
• Average lawn receives 10x more pesticides than
equivalent area of cropland
• 2.4 million tons of pesticides are used per year
• 600 active chemicals mixes with 1200 solvents,
‘inactive’ ingredients
• About 25000 commercial pesticide products
Making earth little softer
Pesticides
• Each year about 250,000 people are admitted to
hospitals and/or emergency rooms with
pesticide poisoning
• Broad spectrum vs narrow spectrum
• Persistence
Making earth little softer
Pesticides
• Chlorinated hydrocarbons
• DDT, heptachlor, etc—2-15 years
• Organophosphates
• Malathion, methyl parathion—1-2 weeks
• Carbamates

Alar, glyphosate (create excess growth
hormones)
• Soil sterilants
• trifluralin, dalapon (kill soil microorganisms)
Making earth little softer

Notas do Editor

  1. Pesticides are one of the most significant causes of water pollution.  Many think this only applies to farmers whom spray large crop fields with chemical pesticides.  The reality is, the lawn products that everyday suburban residents apply to their home lawns results in a higher pollution per square foot than the farms.  In some regions, the ability to remove specific pesticide contaminants in the water purification process is an investment that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
