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