INDUSTRIAL WASTES
Industries and factories give off various pollutants into the environment including
the land, air, and waters. It is estimated that about 50% of all pollution is as a
control board which resulted in mass scale pollution that affected lives of many
people.
(iv) Chronic pulmonary diseases like bronchitis and asthma are aggravated by
high concentration of SO2, NO2, particulate matter and photo-chemical smog.
(v) Certain heavy metals like lead may enter the body through lungs and cause
poisoning.
2. On animal health:
In case of animals, the pollutants enter in two steps.
(i) Accumulation of the airborne contaminants in the vegetation forage and prey
animals.
(ii) Subsequent poisoning of the animals when they eat the contaminated food.
In case of animals, three pollutants namely fluorine, arsenic and lead are
responsible for most livestock damage.
3. On plants:
Industrial pollution have been shown to have serious adverse effects on plants.
In some cases, it is found that vegetation over 150 Km. away from the source
of pollutants have been found to be affected. The major pollutants affecting
plants are SO2, O3, MO, NO2, NH3, HCN, Ethylene, Herbicides, PAN (Peroxy
Acetyl nitrate) etc. In the presence of pollutants, the healthy plants suffer from
neurosis, chlorosis, abscission, epinasty etc.
AGRICULTURAL WASTES
MUNICIPAL WASTES
The oxygen deficit D at any time in a polluted river stream is the difference
between the actual DO content of water at that time and the saturation DO
content at the water temperature.
Oxygen Deficit = DOsat–DOactual
In order to maintain clean conditions in a river stream, the oxygen deficit must
be nil and this can be found out by knowing the rates of deoxygenation and
reoxygenation.
