Study Notes
Air Pollutants Measurement
- Air pollutants are measured to understand and monitor levels of harmful substances in the air.
Water and Soil Pollutants
- Water and soil pollutants include pathogens (disease-causing organisms), solid wastes (garbage and debris), and various chemical compounds.
Environmental Toxicology
- Environmental toxicology studies the harmful effects of pollutants on living organisms and ecosystems.
Noise Pollution Measurements
- Noise pollution measurements focus on the impact of sound and vibration on health and well-being.
- Sources of noise pollution include communities (e.g., traffic, concerts) and industries (e.g., machinery).
