9.9 WATER POLLUTION Pollution of water originates from human activities. Through different paths, pollution reaches surface or ground water 1. Easily identified source or place of pollution is called as

point source, e.g., municipal and industrial disclharge pipes where pollutants enter the water-source. 2. Non-point sources of pollution are those where a source of pollution cannot be easily identified, e.g, agricultural run off (from farm, animals and crop-lands), acid rain, storm-water drainage (from streets, parking lots and lawms) etc. (Table 9.1).

9.9.1 CAUSES OF WATER POLLUTION 1. Pathogens: The most serious water pollutants are the disease causing agents called pathogens. Pathogens include bacteria and other organisms that enter water from domestic sewage and animal excreta. Human excreta contain bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Streptococcus faecalis which cause gastrointestinal discases. 2. Organic wastes: The other major water pollutant is organic matter such as leaves, grass, trash etc. They pollute water as a consequence of run off. Excessive phytoplankton growth within water is also a cause of water pollution. These wastes are biodegradable. The large population of bacteria decomposes organic matter present in water. They consume oxygen dissolved in water. The amount of oxygen that water can hold in the

solution is limited. In cold water, dissolved oxygen (DO) can reach a concentration up to 10 ppm (parts per million), whereas oxygen in air is about 200,000 ppm. That is why even a moderate amount of organic matter when decomposes

in water can deplete the water of its dissolved oxygen. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in water is very important for adequate life. If the concentration of dissolved oxygen

of water is below 6 ppm, the growth of fish gets inhibited. 3. Oxygen reaches water either through atmosphere or from the process of photosynthesis carried out by many aquatic green

plants during day light. However, during night,

resulting in reduction of dissolved oxygen. The dioes

whereas

17 ppm or more.

5. Chemical pollutants: Water is an excellent solvent, water soluble inorganic chemicals that include heavy metals such as Cd, Hg, Ni etc. constitute an important class of pollutants. All these metals are dangerous to humans because our body cannot excrete them. a. These metals then can damage kidneys, central nervous system, liver etc. Acids (like sulphuric acid) from mine drainage and salts from many different sources including raw salt used to melt snow and ice in the colder climates (sodium and calcium chloride) are water soluble chemical

pollutants. b. The organic chemicals are another group of substances

that are found in polluted water. Petroleum products many sources of water e.g., major oil spils n

stop the growth of unwanted organisms. They adversely affect the health of human beings. These are further

classified into the following different categories.

9.11SOME DEVELOPMENTS ABOUT WASTE RECYCLING

i. Herbicides: These are the compounds used to

control weeds. Earlier inorganic compounds, namely, sodium chlorate (NaC10,) and sodium arsenite (Na,AsO,) were commonly used as herbicides but arsenic compounds, being toxic to mammals, are no

longer preferred. Instead, organic compounds such as triazines, are now considered as better herbicides especially for the corn-fields. i. Insecticides: These are the chemicals that are used to kill the insects which destroy the crop. They also help to control malaria and yellow fever. The most common insecticides in use since 1950 are the

chlorinated hydrocarbons like DDT (dichlorodiphneyl trichloroethane), BHC (benzene hexachloride), etc. As they are not much soluble in water, they stay in the soil for long time and are absorbed by the soil and contaminate root crops like raddish, carrot etc. Anew series ofproducts, namely, organophosphates and carbamates have been introduced. These are more biodegradable. But these chemicals are nerve toxins and hence more harmful to humans and have caused even deaths. Thus, insecticide industry is engaged in developing new insecticides. ii. Fungicides: These are the chemicals used to stop the

Due to recent developments made in chemical and textile

industries, clothes will be made from recycled plastic waste. These will be available soon in the global textile market. Fuel obtained from plastic waste has high octane rating t contains no lead and is known as "green fuel". Technology has now been developed to produce electricity from the garbage. A pilot plant has been set up, where after removing ferrous metal, plastic, glass, paper etc. from garbage. it is mixed with water. It is then cultured with bacterial species for producing methane, commonly known as biogas. The remaining

product is used as manure and biogas is used to produce electricity

9.12 STRATEGIES TO CONTROL

used, e.g., Sunlight, microwave, sound waves and enzymes. 1. Use of sunlight and microwaves: The use of sunlight and ultraviolet light in chemical reactions is called

Photochemistry. In photochemical reactions sometimes the products are such that they cannot be obtained by usual chemical methods. In these reactions no toxic solvents are used but only the reactants in proper ratios are mixed on a solid support such as alumina and exposed to microwaves. The reaction is complete within minutes and yields are also higher.

. Burning and

incineration: Some combustible waste

materials such as dried plant leaves etc. can be burnt to get the heat energy.

Many combustible wastes including household wastes, chemical wastes and biological wastes e.g. from hospitals which occupy large volume can be incinerated, i.e., reduced 1o ash which can be used as a land-filing materials. This is

one of the best methods for the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) as the high temperature produced breaks the C-Cl bonds. But incomplete combustion of PCBs results in the production of highly toxic chloro compounds. Moreover, the ash produced consists of very fine particles which can enter into lungs and cause serious problenms. 3. Digesting: This method is used to degrade a number of toxic organic wastes. The method consists in degrading the waste by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen (called anaerobic digestion). The main products formed are CO, and CH4

2. Use of sound waves: The branch of chemistry in which sound waves are used in chemical reactions is called Sonochemistry. Efforts are being made to develop conditions to achieve the desired results. 3. Use of enzymes: Enzymes are environmental friendly reagents and they work at ambient temperature in aqueous solutions since water has high specific heat and low volatility. Water is cost effective, non-inflammable and devoid of any carcinogenic effects. By using enzymes many biochemical methods have been developed to prepare precursors and intermediates of certain medicines and antibiotics. For

exmaple, semi-synthetic pencillins such as amphicillin and amoxycillin have been prepared using enzymes.
