  1. author of Silent Spring, the book that many believe started the environmental movement
    Rachel Carson
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Factory Effluent
    Point source Pollution
  5. Toxins that are able to accumulate in the body becasue they are not removed by the excretory system
    Fat soluble
  6. A positive test indicated the presence of mammalian feces in a water sample
    Fecal Coliform Bacteria
  7. Most used to be sent to China for recycling, but no longer
    Plastic
  8. 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
  9. Look out ____ here come Jimmy Carter
    Guinea Worm
  10. Bacteria that require oxygen to decompose organic matter.
    Aerobic Bacteria
  11. a rapid growth of microscopic algae or cyanobacteria in water, often resulting in a colored scum on the surface
    Algal Bloom
  12. BLANK is caused by Blank-associated coronavirus , whileBlank is caused by Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus
    SARS/ MERS
  13. Was banned in the US in 1972
    DDT
  14. the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to the plentiful growth of simple plant life
    Eutrophication
  15. A greenhouse gas emitted from landfills when anaerobic bacteria begin to decompose waste in the center of the pile
    Methane
  16. 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
  17. Toxins that mimic he behavior of hormones
    Endocrine Disruptor
  18. a controlled, aerobic (oxygen-required) process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich, biologically-stable soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition
    Compost
  19. A common pest associated with landfills. That carry waste away and drop it on nearby neighborhoods.
    Seagulls
  20. The most common type of trash disposal in the US
    Landfilling
  21. The largest bulk of material in US landfills
    Paper
  22. occurs when runoff from rain and snowmelt carries pollutants into waterways such as rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, and even groundwater
    Non point source pollution
  23. The vector for Malaria, West Nile, Yellow Fever & Zika
    Mosquitoes
  24. 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
  25. those waters where oxygen concentrations are below two milligrams per liter
    Hypoxic
  26. 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
  27. a measure of the level of particles such as sediment, plankton, or organic by-products, in a body of water.
    Turbidity
  28. Used to line landfills in order to prevent leachate from contaminating groundwater

  31. DDT, Atrazine, PCBs, Dioxins are all examples of these long lasting toxins
    POP
  32. 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

    Biomagnification
  34. Cadmium, Mercury and Lead
    Neurotoxins
