A Research on Ground Water Pollution - Examples of ground water pollutions

1. Decaying and Fungi material contamination
2. Iron Oxide Stain caused by reticulation
3. High concentration of Chromium
4. Others
  • Additional examples are given below for ground water pollution:
  • Love Canal, located in upstate New York were found a very high rates of cancer which we may say that is alarming number from birth defects. The reason of this was from the organic solvents and dioxins, which were wastages of Industrial Landfill built all over the state that produce contamination to the water supply and air.
  • Ganges Plain, located in northern India and Bangladesh, which was one of the most affected naturally from arsenic contamination of 25% affection of water wells. This pollution were adapted due to its aquifer sediments which contains organic matter (dead plant material) that scientifically generate an environment without oxygen (Anaerobic) conditions within the aquifer. Thus results of microbial dissolution of iron oxides in the sediments that release arsenic.
