Water Pollution And Paper Manufacturing
[ send me this research ]
8 pages in length. The pulp and paper industry produces a significant amount of chemical waste by way of its manufacturing processes. These toxic substances, which include inorganics for pulping and bleaching to slimicides and polymers for retention and wet and dry strength, have caused a great deal of water pollution having been allowed to freely run into potable supplies. This runoff effect has caused growing concerns with regard to the overall negative impact pulp and paper mills have upon the environment. As a means by which to address these concerns, countries worldwide have begun to focus upon the implementation of regulatory and monitoring programs, with recycling representing just one element. Still, there exist water pollutants from recycling methods, however, government regulations are expected to address these issues by mandating the use of special chemicals made to control and remove the contaminants. The writer discusses water pollution as it relates to the paper manufacturing industry. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Apalachicola Bay / The Threat Of Pollution From Inadequate Sewage Treatment
[ send me this research ]
6 pages in length. Florida's Apalachicola Bay is in grave danger. The fact that raw sewage and toxic chemicals are floating around in its waters, contaminating the ecosystem that depends upon its flow for life-giving components, has played a significant role in rendering the bay a health hazard. The reason for this perpetual contamination is that the existing sewage treatment program is woefully inadequate, having little effect on the massive amounts of contaminants present within the water. In economic terms, such contamination means a considerable threat to the various seafood products acquired from the bay, including its well-known oysters, fish, shrimp and crab supply. The waters that flow in the Apalachicola Bay are essential for sustaining these entities, as well as providing nourishment to the valuable seal life that represents the area's biodiversity. The writer discusses how inadequate sewage treatment is threatening the Apalachicola Bay. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

[ send me this research ]
A 10 page overview of the factors which contributes to nonpoint pollution. Emphasizes the impact of nonpoint pollution to acid rain and in turn to water pollution. Discusses the impact of nonpoint pollution to vegetation and, in turn, the role of vegetation in buffering the effects of acid rain. Devises a simple study designed to access the degree of this phenomena using data which has already been collected by state and federal agencies and correlating this data to vegetative types identified using aerial photographs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
