Frage Antworten
What's the difference between non-point and point pollution? Non-point - wide input and impact over a large area Point - single identifiable source
How can you measure the effect of pollution? LD50 LC
LD50 Single dose of a chemical test, when fed/applied dermally kills 50% of that group
LC Lethal concentration concentration of pollutant in air/water that will kill half of all test animals with a single exposure
How may the effects of pollutants differ? Additive antagonistic Synergistic
Additive Add-on effect
Antagonistic effect effect of one pollutant may be negated or reduced by impact of another
Synergistic effect Combine in a way that the enviro impact is far greater than if they were just additive
What sort of sources of pollution exist? (4) Point source Multi-point source Seeping (fertiliser run-off) Spreading (volatiles in air)
What's the difference between acute and chronic pollution? Acute is usually a point-source or one accident, afterwards an ecosystem can being to recover Chronic pollution is a constant low-level input into that environment, occurs either continuously or in frequent pulses. Environment is under light stress
