use, mining, recreational and industrialization. These activities have an effect on the water quality and quantity of the water such as, water contamination with waste produced from mining and industries, run off into the river of agriculture fertilizers (Claassen, 2010).
potassium and other nutrients mainly through run-off and erosion, which enrich the water body in terms of nutrients leading to luxurious growth of algae and other organisms and resultant eutrophication problems in ponds Ammonia Volatilization Volatilization of NH3 is not only a major loss of N but also a cause of environmental pollution. From the atmosphere NH3, is washed out by clouds and redeposit' on the terrestrial ecosystem In the atmosphere it is oxidized to N2O, which acts as a greenhouse gas and
In recent years, with rapid growth of global population hitting 7 billion in 2011, and expected to rise to 9 billion in the year 2050. With this, comes the increase in demand for food and water resources. The growing population leads to increased agricultural activities to feed the demands of the population. There has since been a controversy on the severity of the increase in agricultural activities, creating concern on freshwater pollution because these activities are inevitable. On one hand, this
erosion? Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problem in the world because it associated with agriculture in tropical and semi-arid areas. Erosion can lead to environmental damage through sedimentation, pollution and flooding. Furthermore, eroded soils may lose about 75-80% of the soil carbon content and this eventually will cause emission of carbon to the atmosphere (R.C.P Morgan, 2005). This environmental effect has been environmental concern such as in China, about one-third of the
like war weapons and which a times call for testing them at open places cause air pollution. The heavy duty engine use in manufactory companies which aid in the work of production of other machines pollutes the air often and thereby cause serious environmental issue that cause a lot of ill-health to human beings. The failure of Nigeria Government to produce or serve the citizens with the steady electricity light has virtually contributed to air pollution as the alternative power supply both at homes
division and expansion of new tissue. Potassium is important because it stimulate early growth; improve resistance to disease and insects. But use of excess fertilizers to agricultural soils leads to agricultural pollution which deteriorate the environmental quality. But here we will discuss about fate of nitrate fertilizers
anthropogenic activities and may cause adverse effects on human health and the environment. Increase combustion of fossil fuels in the last century is responsible for the progressive change in the atmospheric composition. The main sources of air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, Sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and ozone differ in their chemical composition, emission and ability to diffuse in long or short distances. The effects of air pollution on human health and environment
ocean. These significant changes occur when the carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by ocean and reacts with seawater which in return produces acids. This research is about how OA affects environmental conditions of marine ecosystem and global elemental cycles. Different research approaches are discussed to know the effects of OA to our environment, ecosystem and marine organisms. Objectives: • The main objective of this research is to know about the ocean acidification and its impacts on ecosystem and
even if not-touching water, the smell of wastewater could turn discouraging tourism in affected area. In general, wastewater components that should be of most concern are those that have the potential to cause disease or lead to detrimental environmental effects. The potential hazardous diseases related to wastewater include disease-causing viruses, parasites, and bacteria including “gastroenteritis”, hepatitis A, typhoid, polio, cholera, and
It forms at the foundations for sustainable development on the basis of the environmental health of our planet and the source of economic and ecological security for planet and the source of economic and ecological security for future generations. Microorganisms constitute an important component of an ecosystem and form a natural resource
