- 671: The Serious Problem of Acid Rain
- ... more pollutants to lakes and streams. Exterior paints, such as house and automobile paints have their lives reduced due to the pollution in the atmosphere which speeds up the corrosion process. In some communities the drinking water is laced with toxic metals freed from metal pipes by the acidic water flowing through them. As if urban skies were not already gray enough, typical visibility has declined from 10 to 4 miles ...
- 672: The Element: Chlorine
- ... Chlorine has many great uses. Chlorine is an excellent oxidizing agent. At first. The use of Chlorine was used as a bleaching agent in the paper, pulp, and textile industries and as a germicide for drinking water preparation swimming pool purification, and hospital sanitation has made community living possible.

- 673: Phosphates in Water Pollution
- ... oxygen, and causing sulfurous smells and plagues. Deprived of shelter and food, the fish larvae starve. The lake is well on the way to catastrophe. Without wetlands there would be a minimal amount of fresh drinking water due to the fact that wetlands filter the waters of our lakes, rivers and streams, sequentially reducing contamination of water. The plant growth in wetlands removes phosphates and other plant nutrients washed in from ...

- 675: The Cause and Effects of Acid Mine Drainage
- ... in an ecosystem. Plants uptake the metals and because plants are at the bottom of the food chain, these metals are passed on to animals. The animals become contaminated with the metals through eating and drinking. There are actually some types of algae that actually thrive in harsh metal environments because they are not affected by the toxicity and therefore they have no competition. These types of species are blue-green ...
- 676: Geothermal Energy
- ... pay for itself. Another factor to take into consideration is the disposal of the waste water. Some geothermal fluid consists of several toxic materials such as arsenic, salt, dissolved silica particles. These materials can pollute drinking water and lakes. When the waste water is reinjected back into the earth the previously dissolved silica particles precipitate out of the liquid and can block up the pores in the reinjection well. The cool ...
