The teachers buried a red-colored pollution source in one layer of the model; when they added water, it moved through the layers of soil, eventually carrying the contaminant into the small lake which town residents would use for recreation. The Massachusetts teachers were attendees at an environmental science course taught by two MIT professors. Photo by Denise Brehm CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Science teachers from schools around Massachusetts were at MIT this month learning how pollution travels through groundwater and surface water, and performing environmental science experiments they can adapt to suit their own classroom needs. The 12 teachers, who preside in classrooms from kindergarten through high school, were participants in "Pollutant Transport in Natural Water Systems," a two-day course taught by MIT professors
TEACH: Water Pollution In The Great Lakes
water pollution in the Great Lakes water pollution is defined as a change in the chemical,physical and biological health of a waterway due to human activity.
http://www.great-lakes.net/teach/pollution/water/water1.html

Extractions: The pollution of our waterways became a national issue in June of 1969, the day that the Cuyahoga River, flowing through Cleveland, Ohio, on its way to Lake Erie, caught on fire because it was so polluted. Although this was not the first time that the Cuyahoga River had been in flames, the 1969 fire caught the attention of the nation and the fight began for increased water pollution controls, which eventually led to the Great Lakes Water Quality Act and Clean Water Act in the 1970s. Water pollution is defined as a change in the chemical, physical and biological health of a waterway due to human activity. Ways that humans have affected the quality of the Great Lakes water over the centuries include sewage disposal, toxic contamination through heavy metals and pesticides, overdevelopment of the water's edge, runoff from agriculture and urbanization, and air pollution.

Extractions: David A. Gillam, Susitna Elementary, Anchorage, AK WATER POLLUTION Appropriate for grades K-6. OVERVIEW: There are a wide variety of pollutants that can affect water and the plants and animals that live in the water. This pollution can be divided into three groups: chemical pollution, thermal pollution, and ecological pollution. Since not all pollution is human produced students need to understand that there are sometimes "natural" reasons for some pollution. PURPOSE: These activities will help students' understanding of water pollution and its potential effects on human and wildlife habitats. OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to: 1. Identify 2 or more pollutants in a bog, marsh, stream or other wetland area. 2. Relate a pollution prevention message through words and art. 3. Understand that some pollutants can not be seen. ACTIVITIES: 1. Taking student a wetland area helps them become more aware of the water around them. Take with you paper, pencils, clipboards, rubber gloves, plastic garbage bags and extra adults. When you get to your wetland site divide students into groups of 3 or 4. Each group is to look around the wetland area and find as many sources/types of pollution as possible. On their paper a designated recorder for each group will record the different types of pollution found. After 5-7 minutes, come together as a whole group and discuss the pollution that is seen. Since the visible pollution is often in the form of litter, discuss with your students the pollution that may be present, but not seen. When the group discussion is over, pass out gloves and bags. Divide students into groups and assign an adult to each group. Then have the students pick up the litter pollution and take back to school and put in dumpsters. Repeat throughout the year. 2. For this activity you will need paper, crayons, markers, crayon pastels and other art supplies. Review with the students the types of pollution that they know about. Talk about the ways people can help prevent certain kinds of water pollution. List them on the chalk board. Have students draw a picture showing how to prevent pollution of a wetland of other water source. Encourage students to think about the source of the pollution and ways to either prevent or ways to dispose of some pollutants. 3. To help students understand that clear water isn't necessarily free of pollutants, place 5 clear liquids in portion cups. Things to include should have a definite taste that students would recognize. Use sugar water, white vinegar, salt water, water mixed with citric acid, and tap water. Using cotton swabs, have students taste each liquid (dispose of swab after each taste) and record what they taste after each. After students have all had a chance to taste, discuss that some kinds of pollution can't be seen. If you have local creeks, streams, or other water ways that are unsafe for human use, this is a good jumping off point to discuss the problems these bodies of water have. RESOURCES/MATERIALS NEEDED: All resources are available in most areas. TYING IT ALL TOGETHER: Environment concerns can be understood by even the youngest school children. Providing them with a background of information and an opportunity to actively use that information, they will begin to develop a feeling of stewardship for their world. Using activities that develop environmental stewardship in students will hopefully become a basis for action in their future lives.

It is also useful to a highly skilled technical audience looking for information on understanding water issues, said Gail Glen, Environmental Outreach Coordinator for the Water Pollution Control Plant. In addition to describing the plants operational processes, the site also explains how the plant is organized, funded, and regulated. In addition, specific tips on water pollution prevention for businesses and residents are included. There are links to regional coordination efforts with other organizations engaged in protecting local creeks and South San Francisco Bay. An extensive environmental education section describing materials and presentations available and tours of the plant is also offered. To access the site directly, go to

Abandoned Mines -- Pennsylvania's Single Biggest Water Pollution Problem
Abandoned Mines Pennsylvania's Single Biggest water pollution Problem.By. Walter Rossman President Western Pennsylvania Coalition
http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/DEPUTATE/MINRES/BAMR/MINING_012397.htm

Extractions: Department of Environmental Protection The single biggest water pollution problem facing Pennsylvania is polluted water draining from abandoned coal mining operations. Over half of the streams that don't meet water quality standards more than 2,400 miles don't meet standards because of mine drainage. Pennsylvania has more than 250,000 acres of abandoned mine lands, refuse banks, old mine shafts and other relics of past mining in 45 of our 67 counties more than any other state in the nation. One estimate of the cost of cleaning up pollution from these old coal mines is $15 billion, but it's probably more. So why is the federal government holding back funds that could be used right now to clean up abandoned mines and our streams? That's the question we and other states with mine drainage problems would like answered.

Extractions: Noise is technically the most complex and least understood form of pollution. Although by listening we detect noise with a great sensitivity, we have often difficulties to describe it and we certainly cannot define it in technical terms - we usually know when noise is excessive, but we cannot predict the required noise reduction and, more important, we cannot determine how to effectively reduce the excessive noise . The proper noise pollution assessment and control require: c. extensive practical experience. Having all the above, we provide outstanding, all-inclusive services in noise pollution measurement, assessment and engineering control, viz.
