H33H:
Water Quality and Water Contamination in Rivers III Posters


Session ID#: 7788

Session Description:
Anthropogenic activities as well as hydrological and biogeochemical processes impact water quality. Combined sewer overflows (CSOs), stormwater runoff and effluents from wastewater treatment plant are the primary sources of contamination in rivers and estuaries.  Nutrients (phosphorus, nitrogen, ammonia), heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead), pathogens (fecal coliform, E.Coli., enterococcus), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), dioxin, pesticides, as well as other organic/inorganic pollutants discharged into the river, degrade water quality, threatening fish consumption safety and public health. Any topic related to water contamination/water quality; environmental ecosystem restoration; fish consumption; land use impact; environmental health are welcome to this session.
