Contamination is the presence of an unwanted impurity in a material.Contaminated water can be a source of deadly diseases, such as cholera and dysentery. Cholera an infectious disease that can cause severe watery diarrhea, dehydration, and death. Dysentery is an inflammation of the intestines, especially the colon, that often causes severe diarrhea with blood or mucus in the feces.
Impurity is the quality or condition of being impure.
particle is a minute fragment or quantity of matter.
Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas,
liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface. This process creates a film of the
adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent.
pathogen or infectious agent is a biological agent that causes disease …show more content…
Biological processes are the processes vital for a living organism to live, they are made up of any number chemical reactions or other events that result in chemical transformation. In this science project, you will experiment with a water filter column kit and see how it works to find out how effective it is at filtering color and visible particles from different kinds of liquids. The water filter column that comes in the kit has four sections: gravel, fine sand, activated carbon, and paper filter. The gravel allows water to pass through, but traps large particles. A particle is a minute fragment or quantity of matter.The sand allows water to pass through and traps smaller particles. The active carbon removes unwanted chemicals in the water through a process called adsorption, Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface. The last stage is a paper filter, which is effective at trapping oils. Many cities use water filters that are similar to the filter column you'll use in this science project. The additional step they take, however, is adding chemicals to the water to kill any pathogens, is anything which could make you sick.The presence of contaminants in water can lead to adverse health effects, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders.

Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. Infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people whose immune systems are compromised because of AIDS, chemotherapy, or transplant medications, may be especially susceptible to illness from some contaminants. Giardia is a microscopic parasite that causes the diarrheal illness it is found on surfaces or in soil, food, or water that has been contaminated with feces (poop) from infected humans or animals.When you have diarrhea, your bowel movements (stools) are loose and watery. It’s very common and although it feels bad, it's usually not serious, you also get dehydrated. Three tools to clean water are filters they take the murky substances out of the water they also make it clarity the quality of water being clear to drink, boiling water and SOLAR DISTILLATION Not to be confused with solar sterilization or disinfection, solar distillation purifies even muddy, salty or otherwise undrinkable water through evaporation and condensation.Disinfection and sterilization are both decontamination processes. While disinfection is the process of eliminating or reducing harmful microorganisms from inanimate objects and surfaces, sterilization is the process of killing all microorganisms.That is the main difference between sterilizing and disinfecting. Some different types of water filters are Activated Carbon Filters, Reverse Osmosis ,
