H21H:
Anthropogenic Impacts on Water Pollution and Water Quality in Rivers I

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 16932

Session Description:
Anthropogenic activities result in water pollution and degrade water quality in rivers. 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), bacteria (fecal coliform, E.Coli., enterococcus), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), dioxin, pesticides, as well as other inorganic/organic pollutants have been discharged into the river, caused water pollution and degraded water quality, threatening fish consumption safety and public health. Any topic relates to water pollution and water quality; environmental ecosystem restoration; fish consumption; land use impact; environmental health is welcome to this session.
