Unit 8 : Aquatic & Terrestrial Pollution - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Was banned in the US in 1972
    DDT
  2. Most used to be sent to China for recycling, but no longer
    Plastic
  3. a rapid growth of microscopic algae or cyanobacteria in water, often resulting in a colored scum on the surface
    Algal Bloom
  4. WHO's solution to the typhus epidemic in Borneo after the spraying of DDT to control Malaria
    Parachuting Cats
  5. The vector for Malaria, West Nile, Yellow Fever & Zika
    Mosquitoes
  6. measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms for the process of decomposition of the organic matters in the water bodies. Clean water has low levels of this
    BOD
  7. a measure of the level of particles such as sediment, plankton, or organic by-products, in a body of water.
    Turbidity
  8. typically associated with the build-up of damaging or harmful chemicals in a living thing. These chemicals will not break down in the body or are not able to be excreted
    Bioaccumulation
  9. The largest bulk of material in US landfills
    Paper
  10. Cadmium, Mercury and Lead
    Neurotoxins
  11. Look out ____ here come Jimmy Carter
    Guinea Worm
  12. an intestinal infection that causes diarrhea containing blood or mucus. Symptoms can also include stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever. It can result from a bacterial or parasitic infection, often due to poor hygiene or sanitation
    Dysentary
  13. an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs and is caused by a type of bacteria. It spreads through the air when infected people cough, sneeze or spit
    Turberculosis
  14. Used to line landfills in order to prevent leachate from contaminating groundwater
    Clay & plastic liner
  15. Factory Effluent
    Point source Pollution
  16. those waters where oxygen concentrations are below two milligrams per liter
    Hypoxic
  17. higher-level predators-fish, birds, and marine mammals-build up greater and more dangerous amounts of toxic materials than animals lower on the food chain
    Biomagnification
  18. the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to the plentiful growth of simple plant life
    Eutrophication
  19. In the primary stage, solids are allowed to settle and removed from wastewater. The secondary stage uses biological processes to further purify wastewater
    Waste Water Treatment
  20. A positive test indicated the presence of mammalian feces in a water sample
