EFFECTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY

Microorganisms such as bacteria are responsible for decomposing organic waste. When organic matter such as dead plants, leaves, grass clippings, manure, sewage, or even food waste is present in a water supply, the bacteria will begin the process of breaking down this waste. When this happens, much of the available dissolved oxygen is consumed by aerobic bacteria, robbing other aquatic organisms of the oxygen they need to live.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources -meet the effluent standards for biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) or the emission standard

Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)

- is a measure of the oxygen used by microorganisms to decompose this waste. If there is a large quantity of organic waste in the water supply, there will also be a lot of bacteria present working to decompose this waste. In this case, the demand for oxygen will be high (due to all the bacteria) so the BOD level will be high. As the waste is consumed or dispersed through the water, BOD levels will begin to decline.

BOD Level

Water Quality Very Good There will not be much organic waste present in the water supply. Fair: Moderately Clean Poor: Somewhat Polluted Usually indicates organic matter is present and bacteria are decomposing this waste. Very Poor: Very Polluted Contains organic waste.

How do we prevent air and water pollution? Wastewater treatment

- process of removing contaminants from wastewater and household sewage, both runoff (effluents) and domestic. It includes physical, chemical and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce a waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste or sludge suitable for discharge or reuse back into the environment.
