Question
Chapter 20, Problem 55SCQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The sources of given pollutants should be given.
Concept introduction:
Heavy metals: Elements having high atomic weight and the density will be multiple times that of water. The increase in concentration of these metals will lead to severe environmental problems.
Arsenic, chromium, mercury and lead are the top toxic metals known. They are considered to be carcinogens too.
The presence of heavy metals in the environment is due to industrial, agricultural, atmospheric and pharmaceutical sources.
