CVL100:Environmental Science (2-0-0) : Introduction To Water Pollution Lec1: Jan 04,2022

The document discusses a lecture on water pollution from an environmental science course. It introduces the course instructors and provides an overview of various water pollutants found in surface water, groundwater, and seawater. It then discusses the fate and transport of pollutants in the environment, including processes like adsorption, biodegradation, and oxidation-reduction. It also explains concepts like bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and how pollutant concentrations vary and are interrelated between different environmental media like wastewater, surface water, and drinking water.

Q: Name water pollutants

• In surface water
• In groundwater
• In sea water

January 4, 2022 5
Ans: Name water pollutants

• In surface water (ammonia, organic matter,


suspended solids, rotavirus, metals-lead, silver
nanoparticles, tetracycline,etc.)
• In groundwater (arsenic, tetracycline, silver
nanoparticles, calcium, iron, manganese,
rotavirus, pesticide, etc.)
• In sea water(bisphenol A, microplastics, tio2
nanoparticles, polycyclic hydrocarbon)

Fate of pollutants in environment

• Processes during fate: adsorption,


biodegradation, settling, desorption, ion
exchange, UV-based inactivation of
microorganisms, UV-based degradation,
oxidation-reduction

January 4, 2022 8
Transport of pollutants in
environment
• Transport:
• (a)Wastewater effluent  surface water raw
source water  drinking water  wastewater
influent
• (b) leachate during land application of sludge 
percolation to subsurface  adsorption with soil
and retardation  contamination of groundwater
 tube well water  source drinking water

Bioaccmulation versus biomagnification

• Bioaccumulation: accumulation of contaminants in


organisms over time
• biomagnification: transfer of contaminants from
lower order specie to higher order species

• (example: Mercury transfer; DDT transfer)

January 4, 2022 11
Example: develop relationship between C0
and other concentration in species

C1 in specie

Relationship of concentration in
different water media
• How are C0, C1…C5 are interrelated?

January 4, 2022 14
C0 versus C1

• C0 is converted to C1 by factor (f1) which


indicates removal of contaminants in
wastewater treatment plant(i.e., removal in
wastewater treatment plant; unit=%).
• =>C1=f1*C0

January 4, 2022 15
C1 versus C2

• C1 is converted to C2 by factor (f2) which


indicates removal of contaminants during
mixing of wastewater effluent with stream
water and concentration at steady state
(unit=%).
• =>C2=f2*C1

January 4, 2022 16
C3 versus C2

• C2 is converted to C3 by factor (f3) which


indicates removal of contaminants during
drinking water treatment plant (unit=%).
• =>C3=f3*C2
