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
Atmospheric Particulate Matter
Conventional pollutants
- A USA System for Water Pollution
- Conventional Pollutant
- Mainly PH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand
- Total Suspended Solids
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 Climate Change in large volumes, over long periods of time
- Same thing with other Greenhouse Gases (need to add This Concept to a page as well)
Methyl tert-butyl ether
- MTBE
Microganism
- Not too major, but water pollution with microorganism (parasites, ecoli...)
- Also medical / biological science waste
Microplastic
- Microplastic Pollution
- Not too major as far as we know (for now), can lead to more POPs
Nutrient Pollution
- Excessive fertilizer and runoff
- Can lead to (sometimes toxic) Algae Blooms and/or Red Tides
Nitrogen Oxides
Organochlorides
Persistent Organic Pollutants
Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins
- Bio-Accumulate
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
Volatile Organic Compounds
Treatment Technologies
Liquid Streams
Gas Streams
Solid Particulates Matter
- Cyclonic Seperation coarse to fine (need specifics)
- Electrostatic Precipitation
- Filters
- Wet Scrubbers this also typically treats gaseous chemicals
- Nearly all can be captured this way then processed and disposed of/stored/used
Gaseous/Volitile Liquid Pollutants
- See Gas Scrubbers for more in depth information
- Adsorbtion (often in Activated Carbon )
- Catalytic Conversion
- Wet Scrubbing
- Membrane Diffusion Seperation
- Pressure Swing Adsorbtion
Liquid Streams
- Adsorbtion (often in Activated Carbon )
- Anerobic Digestion
- Evaporation Ponds
- Incineration (to a certain degree, kind of just moves problems around, but may convert them into easily managable gases/solids)
- Precipitation/Settling
Internal Links
- Diesel Exhaust Pollutants
- Household Hazardous Waste small scale generation of all this, OSE/Microfactory etc level is a similar grade of pollutant generation
External Links
- The Wikipedia Page on Pollutants
- The Wikipedia Page on Pollution
- The Wikipedia Page on the National Ambient Air Quality Standards -a usa air quality system
- A Video by the Youtube Channel Healtcare Triage on the economic impact of Pollution (health effects -> economic effects)
