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. 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
  2. The vector for Malaria, West Nile, Yellow Fever & Zika
    Mosquitoes
  3. a rapid growth of microscopic algae or cyanobacteria in water, often resulting in a colored scum on the surface
    Algal Bloom
  4. 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
  5. The most common type of trash disposal in the US
    Landfilling
  6. A greenhouse gas emitted from landfills when anaerobic bacteria begin to decompose waste in the center of the pile
    Methane
  7. the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to the plentiful growth of simple plant life
    Eutrophication
  8. 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
  9. Toxins that are able to accumulate in the body becasue they are not removed by the excretory system
    Fat soluble
  10. Cadmium, Mercury and Lead
    Neurotoxins
  11. 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
  12. Used to line landfills in order to prevent leachate from contaminating groundwater
    Clay & plastic liner
  13. author of Silent Spring, the book that many believe started the environmental movement
    Rachel Carson

    Parachuting Cats
  16. Look out ____ here come Jimmy Carter
    Guinea Worm
  17. a controlled, aerobic (oxygen-required) process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich, biologically-stable soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition
    Compost

    Seagulls
  20. Was banned in the US in 1972
    DDT

    Biomagnification
  22. The largest bulk of material in US landfills

  24. those waters where oxygen concentrations are below two milligrams per liter
    Hypoxic
  25. A tool used to measure the trubidity of water
