Definition
• A reference electrode is an electrode which has a stable and well-known
electrode potential. The high stability of the electrode potential is usually
reached by employing a redox system[clarification needed] with constant
(buffered or saturated) concentrations of each participant of the redox
reaction.
Types of Reference electrode
There are 4 types of water pollutant
• Organic pollutants
• Inorganic pollutants
• Microbiological pollutants
• Radioactive pollution
Organic pollutants
These include dead and decaying plants and animals
remain.some synthetic compounds also act as organic
pollutants.e,g pesticides,CCl4
Inorganic pollutans
It includes mineral acid,alkalies,inorganic
salts(MgBr2,NaCl),metals and theire compound
Microbiological pollutants
These include micro-organism like becteria,protozoa,algae
viruses etc
Radioactive pollution
These included radioactive material arising from nuclear
power plants,radioisotopes,e,g uranium,radium,thorium
Types of Water
Pollution
Nutrients Pollution
Nutrient pollution occurs when too many nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus ,flow into
water bodies and act like fertilizers, causing algae to grow excessively. This phenomenon is
also known as nutrients pollution.
Oxygen Depleting
Microorganisms that live in water feed on biodegradable substances. When too much
biodegradable material is added to water, the number of microorganisms increase and use up
the available oxygen. This is called oxygen depletion.
When oxygen levels in the water are depleted, relatively harmless aerobic microorganisms
die and anaerobic microorganisms begin to thrive.
Groundwater Pollution
Groundwater pollution occurs when harmful substances (pollutants) enter the groundwater.
These pollutants are practically limitless but can range from motor oil to chemicals from
agriculture to untreated waste.Groundwater is a major natural resource in Ireland providing
between 20-25% of the drinking water supplies.
