  1. Bacteria that require oxygen to decompose organic matter.
    Aerobic Bacteria
  2. The vector for Malaria, West Nile, Yellow Fever & Zika
    Mosquitoes
  3. 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
  4. author of Silent Spring, the book that many believe started the environmental movement
    Rachel Carson
  5. 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
  6. Look out ____ here come Jimmy Carter
    Guinea Worm
  7. Used to line landfills in order to prevent leachate from contaminating groundwater
    Clay & plastic liner
  8. The largest bulk of material in US landfills
    Paper
  9. Factory Effluent
    Point source Pollution
  10. 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
  11. BLANK is caused by Blank-associated coronavirus , whileBlank is caused by Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus
    SARS/ MERS
  12. A tool used to measure the trubidity of water
    Secchi Disk
  13. 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
    Cholera
  14. DDT, Atrazine, PCBs, Dioxins are all examples of these long lasting toxins
    POP
  15. occurs when runoff from rain and snowmelt carries pollutants into waterways such as rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, and even groundwater
    Non point source pollution
  16. A common pest associated with landfills. That carry waste away and drop it on nearby neighborhoods.
    Seagulls
  17. Most used to be sent to China for recycling, but no longer
    Plastic
  18. the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to the plentiful growth of simple plant life
    Eutrophication
  19. Toxins that mimic he behavior of hormones
    Endocrine Disruptor
  20. 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
  21. a curve which sags initially due to the increased oxygen demand and recovers asymptotically downstream due to the increased rate of oxygen replenishment.
    Sag Curve
  22. a measure of the level of particles such as sediment, plankton, or organic by-products, in a body of water.
    Turbidity
  23. WHO's solution to the typhus epidemic in Borneo after the spraying of DDT to control Malaria

  24. Cadmium, Mercury and Lead
    Neurotoxins
  25. 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
  26. A greenhouse gas emitted from landfills when anaerobic bacteria begin to decompose waste in the center of the pile
    Methane

    Landfilling
  28. A positive test indicated the presence of mammalian feces in a water sample
    Fecal Coliform Bacteria
  29. a controlled, aerobic (oxygen-required) process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich, biologically-stable soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition
