being rich in nutrients and minerals and therefore causing an excessive growth of algae and diminished oxygen content
Eutrophic
6 of 10
a localised or stationary source of pollution
Point Source
7 of 10
the tendency of a material, such as metal, to lose strength after acoustic stress
Acoustic Fatigue
8 of 10
the prediction of the routes that an effluent will take in the environment, to assess pollution risk- used to predict the movement of pollutants + to plan monitoring programmes
