  1. Dumping Raw Sewage and its Relation to Oxygen/Thermal Pollution

  2. Getting rid of untreated wastewater by dumping it into waterways, therefore contaminating the water • Harms the environment Dumping Raw Sewage

  3. Wastewater • Contaminated water from residences, industries and commercial properties • Sewage • Contaminated with human waste • Disposed of using sewers and pipes • Raw sewage is untreated Raw Sewage

  4. Dumping raw sewage in rivers and other bodies of water contaminates the water and contains fecal matter, bacteria, viruses, parasites and toxic chemicals • Sewage contaminates shellfish beds, drinking water supplies and aquatic wildlife and leads too the rapid growth of algae Harmful Effects

  5. Sewage takes away the oxygen found in water so fish and shellfish die • Oxygen is used by bacteria decomposing the sewage Harmful Effects

  6. Releasing heated water into a body of water resulting in the temperature of the water increasing • Puts aquatic life in peril, organisms are not adapted to the warmer temperatures Thermal Pollution

  7. Change in temperature in water can cause a decrease in oxygen levels • Higher water temperatures can cause a boom in the algae population, which can also decrease oxygen levels for other aquatic life Thermal Pollution
