Basics
- This Page aims to Lay Out All the Chemical Pollutants (ie not Light Pollution , RF Signal Noise/Pollution etc
- This is to help mitigate them
List
Environmental Persistent Pharmaceutical Pollutants
- Can be problematic with some Composting Toilet Systems
Elements
- Heavy Metals
- Lead
- Mercury
- Ozone (if ground level, and in significant amounts)
- Radioactive Elements -and compounds
- Zinc
Indirect
- On their own, they do not cause issues, but they can effect other systems:
- CFCs banned in most use cases, react with the ozone layer making ozone generation slower, leading to ozone depletion
- CO2 directly inert, leads to Clcimate Change in large volumes, over long periods of time
- Same thing with other Greenhouse Gasses
Conventional pollutants
- A USA System for Water Pollution
- Conventional Pollutant
- Mainly PH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand
- Total Suspended Solids
Microganism
- Not too major, but water pollution with microorganism (parasites, ecoli...)
- Also medical / biological science waste
Nutrient Pollution
- Excessive fertilizer and runoff
- Can lead to (sometimes toxic) Algae Blooms and/or Red Tides
Methyl tert-butyl ether
- MTBE
Nitrogen Oxides
Organochlorides
Persistent Organic Pollutants
Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Radioactive Waste
- Some are in the elements section
- Some ores/ Tailings can be concentrated with reactive elements/compounds
- Equipment Exposed to Ionizing Radiation may become low level radioactive waste
- Various Radioactive Tracers
- Pharmecuticals used for Radiothearapy
