Question

A new development is being built on the outskirts of a city, near a stream. A parking lot is constructed on one side of the stream, and land is cleared for a playground on the other side. Cars in the parking lot sometimes leak oil adn antifreeze onto the pavement. What two types of pollution are demonstrated in this real world example?

Group of answer choices

Toxic

Sediment

Nutrient

Bacterial

Answer 1

Toxic and Sediment

Step-by-step explanation:

Toxic materials on the surface of the parking lot may runoff into the stream, causing toxic pollution. Sediment pollution may occur when land is cleared for the parking lot and playground

Answer 2

The two types of pollution that are demonstrated in this real world example are:

• Toxic pollution and
• Sediment pollution.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The new development that is being built is the main source that causes the pollution of stream through sediment process.
• Sediment is the process of carrying the waste through erosion and decomposition of plants and animals.
• Similarly the leaked oil antifreeze is highly toxic and hazardous to environment.
• The acid presence in the antifreeze onto the pavement is very harmful for the micro organisms as well.
