Pollutants: Construction noise, railroads, roadway, concerts, fireworks, aircrafts, loud speakers, industrial machines, 

Impacts: Noise pollution adversely affects the lives of millions of people. Studs have shown that there are direct links between noise and health. Problems related to noise include stress related illnesses, high blood pressure, speech interference, hearing loss, sleep disruption, and lost productivity. 

Source:  Noise pollution is both a nonpoint and point source. It can be found easily and often from a single source however it is dispersed across a wide geographic area as many of the pollutants can be found in daily life. It is also a chronic source as symptoms appear after long term, low level exposure.

Pollutants: Drug waste. Contamination of the water supply by drug waste is an increasing problem, with residue from insecticides and recreational drugs finding their way into the system.

Impact: The concentrations were low but if they were higher, the compounds “might pose a risk to wildlife.” As well as posing risks to humans that might consume shrimps without them being tested. This also can contaminate marine food chains and shrimp life. 

Point/non point: point source pollution as this was in a specific area of Suffolk and was by caused by a contamination in the area. 

Persistent/biodegradable: these shrimps fall under the category of persistent as these chemicals and drugs have already entered their system and are no longer safe for humans to consume. 

Acute/chronic: This is acute pollution, as it was a contamination from drug waste. Despite the effects not necessarily having a long term impact for humans, if they are not biodegradable, it can go into the food chain and harm marine life long-term.

Carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide 

The sulfur dioxide originates from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. As well as the process of heating mineral ores. Additionally, nitrogen oxides come from the combustion of fossil fuels which also produces carbon dioxide in the process. These pollutants come from the large industrial sector where there's an accumulation of factories. 

This causes severe respiratory problems to develop such as bronchitis which can irritate the throat, lungs and nose and may cause asthma attacks. Whereas, environmental systems are damaged since air pollution can lead to climate change.

Identify if Point or Non-Point Source Pollution:
This is a non-point source of pollution because there are multiple different factors and sources that cause air pollution and are hard to regulate.

Identify if Persistent or Biodegradable:
pollution is persistent as it can be broken down by different trophic levels.

Identify if Acute or Chronic
This is chronic as it's caused by the release of pollutants over a long period of time and it is difficult to clean up as it can widely spread. 

It discusses the widespread presence of microplastic pollution in the oceans, including the deep sea, and its effects on marine organisms. It highlights the need to understand the extent of the problem and its ecological impacts.

persistent organic pollutants (e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls)

Microplastics can come from a variety of sources including larger plastic pieces that have broken apart, resin pellets used for plastic manufacturing, or in the form of microbeads, which are small, manufactured plastic beads used in health and beauty products. Persistent organic pollutants are fat-soluble compounds that bioaccumulate in individuals and bio-magnify in the food chain.

The downstream impacts at an ecosystem level on the physical and toxicological impacts of microplastic ingestion still remain unclear.

Identify if Point or Non-Point Source Pollution
non point source -  include atmospheric deposition of POPs from industrial emissions, runoff from contaminated land and rivers, and the general presence of POPs in water bodies due to their persistence and long-term environmental cycling.

persistent - Their long-lasting presence in their bodies can result in prolonged health effects and have significant ecological consequences in marine ecosystems.

chronic - when exposed to low levels of POPs over an extended period, typically through bioaccumulation in the food chain. POPs can accumulate in the fatty tissues of marine animals as they consume contaminated prey or come into contact with contaminated water. 

Pesticides are the cause of exponential decrease in bee population. 

Neonicotinoids - Synthetic insecticides

Imidacloprid

Produced by Syngenta and Bayer, synthetic insecticides are used very commonly by farmers globally as a way to protect their crops

Little doses of neonicotinoids can be fatal to bees, which causes a decrease in pollinators as well as less honey produced. Neonic pesticides can also be harmful to birds, butterflies, and water-borne invertebrates.

Identify if Point or Nonpoint Source Pollution:
This is a nonpoint pollution source due to its wide spread of pesticide users as well as other sources that are the cause of decline of the bee population. Also air pollution is also one of the contributing factors that lead to the lowered bee density, so therefore the sources that are causing this disruption cannot be traced, thus indicating that this is a nonpoint source.

Identify if Persistent or Biodegradable:
This really depends on the type of pesticides used as they can both be persistent and also biodegradable. 

Identify if Acute or Chronic:
Chronic. As the bee population dies out from insecticides, this can be extremely detrimental to food chains and ecosystems. Bees are responsible for pollination, without them there would be massive decreases in available plants, vegetables, and crops.
