Study Notes
Air Pollutants
- Measurement of air pollutants is crucial for understanding and managing air quality.
Water and Soil Pollutants
- Pathogens: Microorganisms causing diseases.
- Solid wastes: Discarded materials.
Environmental Toxicology
- Study of harmful effects of various pollutants on living organisms.
Noise Pollution
- Measurements: Determining noise levels.
- Sources:
- Communities (e.g., traffic, concerts)
- Industries (e.g., machinery, construction)
- Noise pollution needs to be measured to assess impact and enforce regulations.
Measurement of Water/Soil Pollutants
- Physical, Chemical, and Biological Determinations: Different methods to analyze water and soil. Physical properties, chemical composition, and presence of biological organisms are examined.
