The Effects of Air and Water Pollution Produced by Canadian Industries

end up causing certain diseases such as bilharzia. The release of certain nutrient elements in water may cause the growth of algae and other aquatic plants that may block or clog streams and drainage systems. Wastewater containing some biodegradable organic matter discharged in water sources with insufficient dissolved oxygen may cause the water to be dark and turbid. Exposure of certain toxic chemicals released by industries in water sources may be a health concern for both plants and animals depending the water source for survival (Novotny 140). Toxic chemicals have been proved to reduce growth reproductive output survival and disease resistance of most plants and animals. Wastewater discharges can be controlled through discharge permits to industries in Canada and ensuring effluent standards. Water pollution causes inequity and inefficiency as some people or industries requiring water from the polluted water sources will find it hard obtaining water from other sources. Air pollution...
