This course explains how water pollution standards are expressed, what the standards are for certain pollutants, and where many pollutants come from. The course also discusses how industrial facilities keep their discharges of potential pollutants below the standards set for them and describes some of the techniques and types of equipment that industry uses to prevent the discharge of pollutants into the environment.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify some potential sources of water pollution and discuss how wastewater is monitored for contamination
  • Define methods for containing polluted water, including barriers, chemical sewers, and retention ponds
  • Describe methods and processes for treating polluted water
  • Discuss waste disposal methods, including burning and burial, and disposal of hazardous wastes
