pH by Sam Harrigan https://padlet.com/k_harrigan3/8eklutkm3b4f en-us 2016-10-05 12:47:15 UTC 2016-11-01 16:34:43 UTC hello@padlet.com Safe pH k_harrigan3 https://padlet.com/k_harrigan3/8eklutkm3b4f/wish/128487030 There are only certain pHs that are safe for humans and other animals can intake. Humans can ingest pH from 2-10. A pH of 2 is something like lemon juice. A pH of 10 is something like milk. So therefore the safe amount of pH in the water for the environment to flourish is 7.]]> 2016-10-05 14:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/k_harrigan3/8eklutkm3b4f/wish/128487030 Units k_harrigan3 https://padlet.com/k_harrigan3/8eklutkm3b4f/wish/128487149 pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. It ranges from 0-14. pH is recorded in "logarithmic units".

Neutral: Mixing acids and bases can cancel out or neutralized their extreme effects
Solubility: Amount that can be dissolved in the water
Alkaline:  pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic)

Another Human cause is chemical gas emissions such as sulfur and nitrogen. The main man made sources of these elements are  factories, power generations facilities, and automobiles.

These of the physical include water temperature and turbidity. Chemical factors include dissolved oxygen. pH dropping and rising significantly causes increases stress in animals, decreased hatching and survival rate, and makes toxic chemicals more "mobile" making it causes higher mortality rates.

The average levels of pH very from 6.5 - 8.5 depending on the environment and human causes.]]> 2016-11-01 16:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/k_harrigan3/8eklutkm3b4f/wish/134536749 pH k_harrigan3 https://padlet.com/k_harrigan3/8eklutkm3b4f/wish/134539004 pH is the abbreviation of "Power of Hydrogen". pH is a number representing the acidity or baseness of a substance on a logarithmic scale.

If pH changed it would cause high mortality rates in almost all species of animals, even humans; although humans do have a higher level of pH tolerance. But eventually it could cause most water sources to become extremely acidic.
