Question

A new wastewater treatment plant opens in an area where raw sewage used to be dumped directly into a bay. Which two types of pollution will be reduced the most by the new plant?

Answer 1

Bacterial and nutrient

Step-by-step explanation:

Raw sewage contains large amounts of bacteria as well as nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. Drinking water that is contaminated by bacteria can cause outbreaks of typhoid fever, dysentery and a variety of other deadly diseases. The nutrients present in raw sewage can cause excess algal growth and oxygen depletion. Treatment of wastewater removes both dangerous bacteria and excessive nutrients.
