Studies show that one in four wells in the U.S. will test positive for coliform bacteria.
This alarming statistic underscores the importance of proper disinfection and
accurate, periodic water testing. Ultraviolet (UV) light has been used since the early
20th century to disinfect water, but increased consumer awareness about
waterborne pathogens has led to a rising demand for UV systems in private homes.
Below are some of the advantages and disadvantages of residential UV systems.
Advantages:
Unlike other disinfection methods, such as chlorination, UV does not require
the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
Easy maintenance. If the proper pretreatment is employed a sediment
filter or reverse osmosis system, for example UV systems only require
users to replace the lamp once per year.
Disadvantages:
4

(a)

The water being treated must be adequately free of colour and turbidity to
allow sufficient penetration.
Areas with extremely hard water are not ideal for UV systems because scale
build up can negatively affect the lamps ability to disinfect.
Inadequate treatment utilizing UV lights may only damage the
microorganisms, rather than disrupt them. To ensure an effective treatment
of the water, the dosage of UV treatment has to be sufficient enough to
disinfect the water.
Do we need to boil the water which was filtered from the UV lights?

Water pollution occurs when water is dirtied by waste thrown into it. Polluted
water is no longer suitable for living things. Industrial wastes, chemical
substances used in
agriculture and domestic waste are called water
pollutants.
As a concerned student, suggest three steps that can be taken to reduce
water pollution.

When a gas is placed under a sufficiently high pressure, it condenses and

becomes a liquid.The liquid will become a gas again when the pressure is
released from a container.this property is used to store gases under high
pressure in gas tanks and aerosol cans.
