Pollution Mangement

Pollution management focuses on detecting and monitoring of pollution it may be divided as followed:



Directly or indirectly

• Directly
• Measuring the concentration of pollutants
• Acidity on rain
• Amount of gas(ses)
• pH of soil
• Presence/concentration of nitrates/phosphates/sulfates/etc.
• Amount od organic matter in soil/water
• Amount of bacteria
• Concentration of (heavy) metals
• BOD: used to determine the pollution in water (>BOD, more pollution)
• Direct sampling
• In situ
• Reliable but instruments may be hard and costly to transport
• Ex situ
• Wider variety of methods and instruments
• May be repeate
• Indirect

• Indicator Species
• Biodiversity
• BOD
• Spectroscopy
• Chromatography
