Sources of pollution of the hydrosphere. Basics of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

The main sources of pollution and contamination of the hydrosphere (reservoirs) is insufficient purification of wastewater from industrial and municipal enterprises, large livestock complexes, production waste during the development of ore minerals; water mines, mines; discharges of water and railway transport; pesticides, etc. Pollutants entering natural water bodies lead to qualitative changes in water, which manifest themselves in a change in the chemical composition of water, in the presence of floating substances on the surface of the water and their deposition at the bottom of water bodies.

Industrial wastewater is polluted with industrial waste and emissions. The quantitative and qualitative composition depends on the industry and its technological processes. Waste divided into two main groups: containing inorganic impurities (including toxic) and containing poisons. The first group includes wastewater from soda, concentrating factories for lead, nickel ores, which contain acids, alkalis, heavy metal ions, etc. Wastewater from this group mainly changes the physical properties of water. Wastewater of the second group is discharged by oil refineries, organic synthesis enterprises, etc.

Stocks contain various petroleum products, ammonia, aldehydes, resins, phenols, etc. The harmful effect of this group of wastewater lies in oxidative processes, as a result of which the oxygen content in water decreases, and the biochemical demand for it increases. Population growth, the emergence of new cities increase the flow of domestic wastewater into inland waters, polluting them with pathogenic bacteria.

All of the above factors lead to a failure of the biological and physical regimes of water bodies.

Used for wastewater treatment mechanical, chemical, physicochemical and biological methods. When they are used together, the method of purification and disposal of wastewater is combined. Mechanical method allows you to remove up to 60-75% of insoluble impurities from domestic wastewater, and up to 95% from industrial wastewater; chemical method - up to 95% insoluble impurities and up to 25% - soluble. Physico-chemical method allows you to remove finely dispersed and dissolved inorganic impurities and destroy organic and poorly oxidized substances. There are several types biological devices for wastewater treatment: biofilters, biological ponds.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

CoaXPress system 03.07.2014

PLDA, a renowned developer of PCIe IP cores, and KAYA Instruments, a company specializing in CoaXPress-enabled products, announced the release of a high performance and customizable CoaXPress system.

The system includes a Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA-based PLDA XpressK7 expansion card and a KAYA FMC daughter card with five CoaXPress channels. The bandwidth of each channel is 6,25 Gb / s, that is, the total figure exceeds 31 Gb / s.

CoaXpress is a new digital signal transmission standard that allows communication between a device, such as a camera, and a host, which can be a recording device. The CoaXPress line supports transmission up to 6,25 Gb/s, device control (20 Mb/s dedicated bandwidth) and power (up to 13 W). - all over one coaxial cable.

Lines can be combined to increase bandwidth. The communication range at maximum speed reaches 40 m, and at half speed (3,125 Gbps) exceeds 100 m.

The CoaXPress interface is primarily intended for machine vision systems.
