四、课文填空:UNIT13的第一部分(1、Pollution of streams and rivers) PoHution of Streams and Rivers
When sewage is discharged into a freshwater stream ,the stream becomes pollution 。This does not mean that the oxygen content drop instantaneously。But the potential for oxygen depletion exists wherever there is sewage。The measure of this potential is the BOD, which rises as soon as the sewage goes in。Now follow the water downstream from "Polutionville." There processes are going on, all at the same time. Process1. The bacteria are feasting on the sewage. because of this action ,the amount of sewage in the water is decreasing,so the BOD is going down。
Process2. As the bacteria consume the sewage, they also use dissolved oxygen,so that concentration,too ,start to decrease。
Process3. some of the lost oxygen is being replenished from the atmosphere and form photosynthesis by the vegetation in the stream。
For the first 50km or so downstream, the natural ability of the river to recover its oxygen (process3)simple cannot keep up with the feasting bacteria(process2),so the dissolved oxygen concentration goes down。The fish begin to die,but it is not the sewage that is killing them。(In fact,the sewage provides food.)Instead ,the fish die from lack of oxygen,beginning when the dissolved oxygen concentration falls below about 4mg per liter,depending on the particular species。
The fish kills start about 15km downstream from the introduction of the raw sewage。In time ,as the sewage is used up by bacteria,the BOD goes down (process1),the consumption of oxygen also slows down,and the natural ability of the river to recover(process3)becomes predominant。The river then begins to repurify itself 。About 90km downstream the fish begin to survive again,and at about 140km the oxygen content has increased to its former,unpolluted level。
Of course,if additional sewage is discharged before recovery is complete,as shown in the illustration at 160km,the river becomes pollution again。When sources of pollution are closely spaced,pollution becomes practically continuous。Rivers in such a condition,which unfortunately can be found near densely polluted areas all over the world ,support no fish ,are high in bacterial content (usually including pathogenic organisms ),appear muddily bluegreen from choking algae ,and ,in extreme cases,stink from putrefaction and fermentation。
