In modern age environmental contaminants are increasing day by day(specially on source of fresh water) how
Answers
Answer:
In the modern age environmental contaminants are increasing day by day because of the following:
1. Overpopulation: Overpopulation leads to more pollution and thus the excess pollution is drained into the waterbodies. This causes the groundwater to be contaminated, which is a good source of drinking water.
2. Urbanisation: Due to rapid urbanisation, water bodies or wetlands are gradually decreasing. This causes the pollution pressure on fresh water bodies causing the growth of contaminants.
3. Eutrophication: Due to agricultural commodities, all the agricultural wastes are drained to the nearby waterbody causing the growth of algae, bacteria etc. So eutrophication occurs causing the death of aquatic organisms. It causes the water body to be abandoned.
Acid rain: Due to acid rain, water is polluted and it is no more capable of drinking.
