So that you can become a water pollution expert, first we'll investigate different kinds of water pollution. Conventional pollutants are solid particles and matter found in our water. Most of the pollution you can see is conventional. You can see conventional pollutants in the picture above.
Conventional pollutants cause a wide variety of environmental problems.
This process is vital to an aquatic food chain. Sometimes the solid pollution is so bad, the water becomes unusable to humans and animals. The best way to remove conventional pollutants is to run the water through a treatment plant. In treatment plants the water is skimmed, run through several filters, and settled. This removes about 60 percent of the pollutants.
