Introduction Fluorescence is a type of photoluminescence spectroscopy. Fluorescence occurs when a photon is emitted from a molecule as it moves from a higher excited state to a lower excited state with in the same spin. A molecule normally is in its ground state energy. When a light source puts off an electromagnetic energy‚ the molecule can move to a higher more excited energy. When the molecule transitions down in energy‚ it usually is released as heat. Conversely‚ if the molecule is subject to

being the most susceptible. Persons with lowered immunity such as those with AIDs or children who are malnourished are more likely to experience a severe case if they become infected. Transmission People harvest oysters in waters infected with sewage‚ as vibrio cholera accumulates in zooplankton and the oysters eat the zooplankton. Cholera has been found in two animal populations: shellfish and plankton Waste from people contaminated with cholera when discharged and allowed to get into waterways

Clean water is extremely essential for a healthy living. It is life’s most important basic necessity while dirty water is one of the deadliest killers. UN has estimated that 10 people die every minute from contaminated water. The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of all sickness and disease in developing countries is due to unsafe water. As water pollution is one of the most widespread problems and it has deadly effects‚ I chose this topic. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies

Brikowski Spring 2012 file:waterQuality.tex‚v (1.33‚ November 14‚ 2011)‚ printed March 30‚ 2012 Water Pollution 1 Introduction Water pollution is the “degradation of water quality as measured by biological‚ chemical‚ or physical criteria.” Common sources of groundwater pollution are listed in Keller [Table 14.3‚ 2011]. Typical pollutants include: • Oxygen-demanding waste: materials that produce a high BOD [Fig. 11.2‚ Keller‚ 2000]

This generally means the reclamation of water from domestic sewage effluent or municipal wastewater. These waters may be recycled from bathroom and laundry effluents (grey water)‚ from the entire domestic sewage stream (black water) or from municipal wastewater Recycling of water from

affect the environment by our activities‚ by consuming its natural resources and producing pollution. Pollution is the mixing of undesirable elements in any of the natural resources. For example when we mix the human excreta with water and produce sewage and dispose it in the river we pollute the river. There are many indices of designating and measuring this pollution like Biochemical Oxygen Demand‚ etc. Now this pollution degrades the quality of water. Water‚ fit for drinking is the second most
