Science 9, Unit #3 Project, Environmental Chemistry
Your task will be to analyze a community provided to you for types of pollution and toxicity. |
|
Each of the 12 points below you have to complete, each of them is associated with an outcome on the rubric! To do the best job possible I recommend using the screen capture or snipping tool to take pictures of what you are going to explain for each point, then insert into a wolf apps word document and explain what is asked for in detail!
1. Identify how food sources being grown in the community are meeting the needs for organic and inorganic nutrients for the larger town and city populations in the community.
2. Find an example of pesticides being used in the community, explain how they are being used, how could biomagnification be a concern along with how the process works. Also propose an alternative to this action.
3. Find two possible sources of pollution within this community that would lead to acid rain. Create two realistic ways to solve the issue within the community.
4. Water samples were taken from the river in this community. in a 2 liter sample there were 5 mg of mercury found. Allowable levels of mercury in drinking water is 1 ppm. Is the water in this community safe to drink?
5. Find two examples of a pollutant on this poster that have an acute toxicity. Be sure to explain how the pollutant fits this definition.
6. Find two examples of a pollutant on this poster that have a chronic toxicity. Be sure to explain how the pollutant fits this definition.
7. Find an example in this community of where you find a pollutant at level where you would see LD50.
8. Find two examples of persistent pollutants on this poster and explain how they fit into that definition.
9. Find two examples of non-persistent pollutants on this poster and explain how they fit into that definition.
10. Find two examples of point source pollutants on this poster and explain how they fit into that definition.
11. Find two examples of non-point source pollutants on this poster and explain how ?they fit into that definition.
12. State whether this community would have a sanitary or secure landfill. explain why.
