Effects of Environmental Pollution
Aim: To study the effects of water pollution on the environment. Introduction: A wide range of human activities affect water availability and quality especially in areas with a high population density, concentrated industrial activity and intensive agriculture. Water pollution is any chemical, physical or biological change in the quality of water that has a harmful effect on any living thing that drinks or uses or lives (in) it. When humans drink polluted water it often has serious effects on their health. Water pollution can also make water unsuited for the desired use.
Chemicals released by smokestacks (chimneys) can enter the atmosphere and then fall back to earth as rain, entering seas, rivers, and lakes and causing water pollution.
Objective: Water pollution monitoring has been implemented by the national government, prefectures, factories and business establishments to examine the water quality of public water areas and waste waster discharged from factories and establishments. The data collected by water pollution monitoring may also be used
as reference data to examine the pollution cause by volcanic eruption and factory explosion. Water pollution monitoring is classified into "public water area monitoring" and stationary pollution source monitoring" according to the locations to be monitored.
