5.suspended solids like sand , silt and minerals erroded from land 
6.oil and radioactive substances like oil and oil wastes enter from oil refineries and storage tanks , radioactive metals enter from uranium refineries etc 
inorganic impurities forms solutions , the suspended impurities forms suspensions , oil, synthetic organic compounds , plant nutrients etc forms colloids.vv
