Problem lakes in the United States
1971
Ketelle, Martha J. | Uttormark, Paul D.
A survey of 452 eutrophic lakes was compiled based on responses from 40 states requesting information as to (a) Name, location, size, depth; (b) Description of the problem, including accounts of previous corrective treatments, if any; (c) Remedial action that might be appropriate; (d) A description of available background data, indicating whether sufficient data exists to document a change if rehabilitation were undertaken. Categories of the problems in the survey were: nuisance algal growth, nuisance aquatic vegetation, fishkills, bacterial contamination, toxic contamination, oil brines, unstable water levels, siltation, excessive dissolved solids, and unspecified eutrophic conditions. Sources contributing to these problems were classified in two general categories--concentrated sources and diffused sources. Indication is given, where available, whether progress has been made to eliminate the pollution source.

Histochemical and cytophotometric assay of acid stress in freshwater fish
1971
Anthony, Adam
The feasibility of using histochemical and histopathological changes in brook trout, longnose dace and fathead minnows as bioindicators of acid pollution was investigated. Laboratory studies entailed using a gravity flow diluter system. Field studies involved using net traps in polluted streams. Exposure durations were 4-5 days and 28-30 days. Histochemical and cytophotometric analyses were made of gills, Stannius corpuscle, blood, spleen, kidney and liver. The primary mode of acid toxicant action is gill damage which results in impaired respiratory, excretory and liver functions. Short term indices of acid stress include: colloidal iron and aminosalicylic acids (PAS) staining of gills and renal Stannius corpuscles. A useful bioindicator of prolonged acid exposure is decreased azure B-RNA staining of liver cells; this assesses the extent of liver impairment and reflects a reduced tolerance of fish to other toxicants.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Effect of geographical location on cooling pond requirements and performance
1971
Thackston, Edward L. | Parker, Frank L.
The energy budget approach to cooling ponds has been outlined and applied to cooling ponds. Monthly average weather data from 88 stations throughout the U.S. were used to calculate equilibrium temperatures, heat exchange coefficients, and amount of cooling in various sized ponds receiving the effluent from a standard power plant of 1000-mw capacity, both for average and extreme weater conditions. The data for each station is shown on a chart, and the variation of these results across the U S. is depicted by a series of 28 maps of the U.S. with contours connecting equal values of the parameters. The results may also be used to estimate cooling pond performance for other sized power plants. The maps disclose variations across the U.S., on a given date, of up to 55°F in equilibrium temperature, up to 100% difference in heat exchange coefficients, up to 50% difference in heat lost from a given sized pond, and up to 200% difference in the size of a pond necessary to produce an equal cooling effect.
