    This document contains a T-chart with information about various chemicals and properties that can be found in water supplies. The left column lists chemicals/properties such as pesticides, nitrates, phosphates, coliform bacteria, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, heavy metals, sediments, and temperature. The right column describes the causes of how each chemical/property gets into the water supply and the potential effects if levels are increased, such as algae growth, fish deaths, cancer, and global warming impacts.

    7.2 Water Quality T-Chart
    Fill in the Following T-Chart with:
    (1) Causes (How does this get into the water supply?)

    and

    (2) Effects (What are the effects of the increased chemical/property)?


    Chemical/Property

    Causes
    Pesticides

    Nitrates
    Phosphates

    Sewage, manure,
    fertilizer runoff
    animal waste

    Coliform Bacteria
    Dissolved Oxygen

    Diffusion from air,


    aeration,
    photosynthesis
    ions

    Effects
    Shortness of breath in
    humans
    Algae rapidly grows in water
    systems, choking up
    waterways and using up
    large amounts of oxygen
    Do not usually cause
    disease, but can cause
    serious illness in humans
    Large amounts of it in water
    result in large numbers of
    fish deaths
    Drying of skin

    Alkalinity
    Heavy Metals

    Pesticides

    heavy metals dumped


    into water
    Runoff containing
    pesticides, water
    containing pesticides
    seeping into
    groundwater
    erosion

    Sediments
    Global warming
    Temperature
    Changes

    Many diseases including


    cancer, organ damage,
    nervous system damage,
    and death
    Can cause some diseases

    Mud deposits during floods,


    pollutant carrying
    sediments can cause
    disease
    Increase in ocean water,
    polar ice caps melting
