    Waste Water Treatment
  2. DDT, Atrazine, PCBs, Dioxins are all examples of these long lasting toxins
    POP
  3. A greenhouse gas emitted from landfills when anaerobic bacteria begin to decompose waste in the center of the pile
    Methane
  4. WHO's solution to the typhus epidemic in Borneo after the spraying of DDT to control Malaria
    Parachuting Cats
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Toxins that mimic he behavior of hormones
    Endocrine Disruptor
  8. A tool used to measure the trubidity of water
    Secchi Disk
  9. the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to the plentiful growth of simple plant life
    Eutrophication
  10. 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
  11. The vector for Malaria, West Nile, Yellow Fever & Zika
    Mosquitoes
  12. The most common type of trash disposal in the US
    Landfilling
  13. The largest bulk of material in US landfills
    Paper
  14. Toxins that are able to accumulate in the body becasue they are not removed by the excretory system
    Fat soluble
  15. 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
  16. Was banned in the US in 1972
    DDT
  17. a measure of the level of particles such as sediment, plankton, or organic by-products, in a body of water.
    Turbidity
  18. 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

  23. Used to line landfills in order to prevent leachate from contaminating groundwater
    Clay & plastic liner
  24. Look out ____ here come Jimmy Carter
    Guinea Worm
  25. a controlled, aerobic (oxygen-required) process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich, biologically-stable soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition
    Compost
