12 Slide 12 Fig. 19.11, p. 489 Industry Nitrogen oxides from autos and smokestacks; toxic chemicals, and heavy metals in effluents flow into bays and estuaries. Cities Toxic metals and oil from streets and parking lots pollute waters; sewage adds nitrogen and phosphorus. Urban sprawl Bacteria and viruses from sewers and septic tanks contaminate shellfish beds and close beaches; runoff of fertilization from lawns adds nitrogen and phosphorus. Construction sites Sediments are washed into waterways, choking fish and plants, clouding waters, and blocking sunlight. Farms Run off of pesticides, manure, and fertilizers adds toxins and excess nitrogen and phosphorus. Red tides Excess nitrogen causes explosive growth of toxic microscopic algae, poisoning fish and marine mammals. Healthy zone Clear, oxygen-rich waters promote growth of plankton and sea grasses, and support fish. Oxygen-depleted zone Sedimentation and algae overgrowth reduce sunlight, kill beneficial sea grasses, use up oxygen, and degrade habitat. Toxic sediments Chemicals and toxic metals contaminate shellfish beds, kill spawning fish, and accumulate in the tissues of bottom feeders. Closed shellfish beds Closed beach Oxygen-depleted zone

17 Slide 17 Fig. 19.16, p. 495 Effluent from Secondary treatment Alum flocculation plus sediments Activated carbon Desalination (electrodialysis or reverse osmosis) Nitrate removal Specialized compound removal (DDT, etc.) 98% of suspended solids 90% of phosphates 98% of dissolved organics Most of dissolved salts Recycled to land for irrigation and fertilization To rivers, lakes, streams, oceans, reservoirs, or industries

18 Slide 18 Fig. 19.17, p. 497 (1) Raw sewage drains by gravity into the first pool and flows through a long perforated PVC pipe into a bed of limestone gravel. (3) Wastewater flows through another perforated pipe into a second pool, where the same process is repeated. (2) Microbes in the limestone gravel break down the sewage into chemicals, that can be absorbed by the plant roots, and the gravel absorbs phosphorus. (4) Treated water flowing from the second pool is nearly free of bacteria and plant nutrients. Treated water can be recycled for irrigation and flushing toilets. 45 centimeter layer of limestone gravel coated with decomposing bacteria First concrete poolSecond concrete pool Sewage Wetland type plants Wetland type plants Treated water
