Chapter 18 Pollution of Water - Class 8 Science Solutions

Class 8 Science Solutions – Chapter 18 Pollution of Water

In the previous article, Air Pollution, its effects, and prevention methods from Pollution of Air and Water of Class 8 Science were discussed. Now, we will discuss water pollution, its effects, and prevention.


Water Pollution

We are surrounded by water in the form of rivers, lakes, ponds, oceans and even in the air present in the form of water vapours. It is one of the most abundant and main compounds on the Earth. 75% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. The main sources of water supply are: –
  • Surface water from springs, waterfalls, rivers lakes, etc
  • Groundwater which is taken out from wells
  • Salty water
All living beings need water to carry out life processes. Therefore, it is called a supporter of the life but somehow due to human negligence, we are polluting water. The main causes of the water pollution are:-
  • Untreated industrial and domestic sewage in water bodies directly.
  • Draining of Inorganic pesticides and chemical fertilizers directly into the water by farmers. Some pesticides like DDT enter into aquatic animal bodies and eventually reach to human beings.
  • Animals bathing, washing clothes near water sources.
  • Leakage of oil from boats, ships etc pollute river and oceans.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
