प्रश्न
Why does water covered with excessive algal growth become polluted?
उत्तर
Due to the excessive growth of algae water contains a lot of phosphate due to the inflow of the fertilizers from the surroundings. The decomposition of algae leads to the bad smell and taste and even makes it unfit for drinking, bathing, washing, swimming, boating etc. and concentration of dissolved oxygen also decreases which may be harmful for aquatic life.

The main sources of noise pollution are various factories, mechanized construction and demolition Works, automobiles and aircraft, etc. There may be added periodical but polluting noise from sirens, loudspeakers used in various festivals, programmes associated with community activities. The level of steady noise is measured by sound level expressed in terms of decibels (dB). Of all these sources, the biggest nuisance is the noise produced by traffic, because its intensity and nature depend upon factors, such as the type of aircraft, vehicle, train and the condition of road, as well as, that of vehicle (in case of automobiles). In sea traffic, the noise pollution is confined to the harbour due to loading and unloading activities being carried. Industries cause noise pollution but with varying intensity depending upon the type of industry. Noise pollution is location specific and its intensity declines with increase in distance from the source' of pollution, i.e. industrial areas, arteries of transportation, airport, etc. Noise Pollution is hazardous in many metropolitan and big cities in India. |
