84
Q

Stratified sampling

A

sampling area is divided according to its geographical features, nature of contamination and other spatial factors. Each sub-area can be treated as an individual sampling site for different samples

85
Q

Haphazard sampling

Often used for preliminary screening to identify the pollutants before conducting full scale sampling

87
Q

Grab sample, composite sampling

A

Types of samples

88
Q

Grab sample

A

111
Q

Domestic, commercial noise, and noise in streets

A

Types of noise pollution

112
Q

Domestic noise

A

this includes loud music, barking dogs, burglar alarms and late-night parties

113
Q

Commercial noise

A

this includes factory noise, fan noise, chiller noise, delivery noise, construction site noise and music from pubs and clubs.

114
Q

Noise in streets

A

this includes car alarms, ice cream chimes, machinery operating in the road and the use of loudspeakers - but excludes traffic

115
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

It decreases the efficiency of a man: - A study by Sinha & Sinha in India suggested that reducing industrial booths could improve the quality of their work. Thus, human efficiency is related with noise.

116
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

Lack of concentration: - For better quality of work there should be concentration

117
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

Noise causes lack of concentration. In big cities, mostly all the offices are on main road.

118
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

Fatigue: - Because of Noise Pollution, people cannot concentrate on their work. Thus, they have to give their more time for completing the work and they feel tiring

119
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

Abortion is caused: - There should be cool and calm atmosphere during the pregnancy. Unpleasant sounds make a lady of irriative nature. Sudden Noise causes abortion in females

120
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

It causes Blood Pressure: - Noise Pollution causes certain diseases in humans. It attacks on the person’s peace of mind.

121
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

Temporary or permanent Deafness: The effect of noise on audition is well recognized

122
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

EFFECT ON VEGETATION: poor quality of crops

123
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

EFFECT ON ANIMAL: -Noise pollution damages the nervous system of animals. Animal loses control of its mind. They become dangerous

124
Q

Impacts of noise pollution

A

EFFECT ON PROPERTY: - Loud noise is very dangerous to buildings, bridges and monuments. It creates waves which struck the walls and put the building in danger condition.

125
Q

Noise pollution prevention

A

The technique or the combination of techniques to be employed for noise control depend upon the extent of the noise reduction required, nature of the equipment used and the economy aspects of the available techniques.

126
Q

Noise pollution

A

Reduction in the noise exposure time or isolation of species from the sources form part of the noise control techniques besides providing personal ear protection, engineered control for noise reduction at source and/or diversion in the trajectory of sound waves.

127
Q

Thermal pollution

A

It is a harmful increase in water temperature in streams, rivers, lakes, or occasionally, coastal ocean waters.

128
Q

Thermal pollution

A

caused by either dumping hot water from factories and power plants or removing trees and vegetation that shade streams, permitting sunlight to raise the temperature of these waters

129
Q

Thermal pollution

A

A temperature increase as small as 1 or 2 Celsius degrees (about 2 to 4 Fahrenheit degrees) can kill native fish, shellfish, and plants, or drive them out in favor of other species, often with undesirable effects

130
Q

Impact of thermal pollution

A

All plant and animal species that live in water are adapted to temperatures within a certain range.

131
Q

Impact of thermal pollution

A

When water in an area warms more than they can tolerate, species that cannot move, such as rooted plants and shellfish, will die

132
Q

Impact of thermal pollution

A

Species that can move, such as fish, will leave the area in search of cooler conditions, and they will die if they cannot find them.

133
Q

Impact of thermal pollution

A

Typically, other species, often less desirable, will move into the area to fill the vacancy.

134
Q

Preventing thermal pollution

A

Thermal pollution from power plants and factories is relatively easy to control

135
Q

Preventing thermal pollution

A

Instead of discharging heated water into lakes and streams, power plants and factories can pass the heated water through cooling towers or cooling ponds, where evaporation cools the water before it is discharged.

136
Q

Preventing thermal pollution

A

Alternatively, power plants can be designed or refitted to be more efficient and to produce less waste heat in the first place.

137
Q

Preventing thermal pollution

A

In a process called cogeneration, the excess heat energy from generating electricity can be used in another manufacturing process that needs such energy.

138
Q

Sources of thermal pollution

A

The major sources of thermal pollution are electric power plants and industrial factories

139
Q

Sources of thermal pollution

A

In most electric power plants, heat is produced when coal, oil, or natural gas is burned, or nuclear fuels undergo fission to release huge amounts of energy

140
Q

Sources of thermal pollution

A

Streams and small lakes are naturally kept cool by trees and other tall plants that block sunlight. People often remove this shading vegetation in order to harvest the wood in the trees, to make room for crops, or to construct buildings, roads, and other structures

141
Q

Sources of thermal pollution

A

the removal of vegetation far away from a stream or lake can contribute to thermal pollution by speeding up the erosion of soil into the water, making it muddy.

142
Q

Sources of thermal pollution

A

Muddy water absorbs more energy from the sun than clear water does, resulting in further heating.

143
Q

Sources of thermal pollution

A

Finally, water running off of artificial surfaces, such as streets, parking lots, and roofs, is warmer than water running off from vegetated land and, thus, contributes to thermal pollution

144
Q

Aesthetic pollution

A

It is the term given to unattractive or unnatural (human-made) visual elements of a vista, a landscape, or any other thing that a person might want to look at

145
Q
