Q

Chemical Characteristics of inorganic matter is caused by

A

seawater pollution/leaching of chloride-containing rocks or soil

20
Q

Inorganic matter chemical characteristics

A

Chloride > 250mg/L, taste is noticeable
Domestic water must contain<100mg/L

21
Q

Essential to the growth of algae and other organisms, should be within MW- 4-16mg/L

A

Phosphorous

22
Q

Forms of Phosphorous

A

Orthophosphate
Polyphosphate
Organic Phosphate

23
Q

Required in the synthesis of proterin, released in its degradation. Reduced significantly under anaerobic conditions which can result to h2s formation and eventually become corrosive

A

Sulfur

24
Q

Common gases in Wastewater

A

N2, O2, CO2, H2S, NH3 and CH4

25
Q

Formed by anaerobic decomp of organic matter containing sulfur or from the reduction of mineral sulfites or sulfates (is toxic)

A

H2S

26
Q

Principal byproduct from the anaerobic decomp of organic matter in wastewater

A

Methane

27
Q

Most of these are necessary for growth of biological life, many are considered as priority pollutants, toxic in excessive quantities, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Hg, Mn, Ni, & Zn

A

Metals

28
Q

chemicals present in inorganic matter

A

Chloride, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Sulfur, H2S, Methane, Metals

29
Q

Chemical Characteristics of Organic Matter

A

Principal Group: Protein, Carbs, Fats & Oils
Small Amounts: Surfactants, Pesticides, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

30
Q

Laboratory Methods used to meassure gross amounts of organic matter >1mg/L

A

BOD
COD
TOC

31
Q

These are used to determine the appropriate quantity of oxygen that will be required to biologically stabilize the organic matter present, measure of efficiency of treatment process

Tested at 20C for 5 days as standard test

A

BOD

32
Q

Higher than BOD and can be completed under 2.5 hours

A

COD

33
Q

Measures biodegradable and nonbiodegradable organics, uses strong chemical agent, Accuracy +/-2%

A

COD

34
Q

Measures biodegradable organics, uses oxidizing microorganism, affected by toxic substance and temperature, accuracy +/- 10%

A

BOD

35
Q

Test methods use heat and oxygen, ultraviolet radiation, chemical oxidants to convert organic carbon to carbon dioxide which is then measured with an infrared analyzer

A

TOC

36
Q

Stoichiometric amount of O2 required to oxidize completely a given compound, can be evaluated when chemical formula is available

A

ThOD

37
Q

General Classification of microorganisms found on surface waters and WW

A

Prokaryote & Eukaryote

38
Q

Degree to which a substance is able to damage an exposed organism,

A

Toxicity

39
Q

Indicates whether pollutant levels in air may cause health concerns (0-500)

A

Air Quality Index

40
Q

5 Major Air Pollutants (Forms smog altogethe)

A

Carbon Monoxide
Sulfur Dioxide
Nitrogen Dioxide
Particulate Matter
Ground Level Ozone

41
Q

Colorless, odorless, produced when carbon does not burn fossil fuels, deprives body of O2, causes fatigue, headaches, and impaired vision

A

Carbon Monoxide

42
Q

Produced when coal and fuel oil are burned, present in power plant exhaust, narrows airway, causes wheezing, shortness of breath

A

Sulfur Dioxide

43
Q

Reddish, brown gas, produced when nitric oxide combines with oxygen, present in car exhaust, affects lungs, increases chance of respiratory infection

A

Nitrogen Dioxide

44
Q

Particles of different sizes and structures that are released into the atmosphere, can build up in the respiratory system, aggravates heart and lung disease

A

Particulate Matter

45
Q

Formed from car, powerplant exhaust, irritates respiratory system and reduces lung function by inflaming and damaging the lining of the lungs

A

Ground Level Ozone

46
Q

Forms when heat and sunlight react with gases

A

Smog
