2 pathogens oxygen demanding wastes organic and inorganic chemicals sediment Plant nutrients Heat /thermal pollution Types & Sources of Water Pollution Types & Sources of Water Pollution © Brooks/Cole Publishing Company / ITP

3 What do these have in common? oxygen demanding wastes sediment Plant nutrients  Heat /thermal pollution  They reduce the amount of oxygen available in the water!

4 Dissolved oxygen (DO)  Aquatic organisms need it to do cellular respiration  C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2  ATP + CO 2 + H 2 0

5 How does DO get into water?  Photosynthesis  Physical churning  diffusion

6 Testing for Dissolved Oxygen

7 LAB TOMORROW! Where is there better water quality – upstream on Buffalo Bayou or downstream? DO Temperature Turbidity pH Phosphates Nitrates

8 What lowers DO? oxygen demanding wastes (leaves, sewage, manure decompose in water. Decomposers use up the DO)

9 What lowers DO?  Sediment (soil blocks sunlight – plants can’t do photosynthesis)

10 What lowers DO?  Heat /thermal pollution  Warm water holds less oxygen

11 What lowers DO?  Plant nutrients (eutrophication)

12 BRAINSTORM GAME – 1MINUTE

13 Eutrophication Obj #27  Each pair/tri needs a white board, 2 markers, and an eraser – send a runner now!  Page 137 Read the paragraph on artificial eutrophication.  List the steps of eutrophication on obj #27.  Compare your list with your neighbors  Use your notes to draw a cartoon of the process on the white boards.

14 Plant nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) cause eutrophication

15 Other sources of plant nutrients  Untreated sewage  Manure from livestock  Pet wastes  Leaking septic systems

16  Carry water from streets to local bayou/water way  ONLY WATER should go down these!  NO: ◦ Litter ◦ Leaves ◦ Pet poop ◦ Oil/paint Storm drains

17 What’s the difference between storm drains and the drains in your home?

18

19 Hypoxic zones “Dead zones” – form in the summer Gulf of Mexico

20 Eutrophication  Which pollutants are involved?  What are the sources of these pollutants?  Are these sources point or nonpoint sources?  What are the effects of eutrophication?  Why does the dead zone form in the Gulf near New Orleans?  Why does the dead zone form in the summer?
