水污染之意義與類別
一、水污染之意義
於地表水或地下水水質所發生之物理、化學或生
物性變化，而會對有機物之生存產生不良影響
或使水質污濁不堪使用之謂。
二、水污染之類別
（一）定點來源（point sources）：
污物集中放流至固定地區，有跡可循，管制、
處理較易。如：下水道
（二）非定點來源（nonpoint sources）：
污物分散放流至廣大地區，無跡可循，管制、
處理較難。如：農、工逕流

三、水污染的來源
• The leading sources of water pollution are
agriculture, industries, and mining.水污染的主要來
源是農業，工業和採礦業。
• 1. Agricultural activities are the leading cause of
water pollution from erosion, overgrazing,
fertilizers and pesticides, and excess salt from
irrigated soils.農業活動是水污染的主要原因，這些來
自於：侵蝕，過度放牧，化肥和農藥，灌溉土壤中過量
的鹽。
• 2. Industrial facilities are another large source of
water pollution, and mining is a third source. 大型
工業設施是另一個主要的水體污染源，採礦則是第三個
來源。
A. Water is polluted by infectious bacteria,
inorganic and organic chemicals, and excess
heat.
水污染是因細菌感染、無機和有機化學品、多餘的熱
• 1. Water pollution is any chemical, biological, or physical
change in water quality that has a harmful effect on living
organisms.水污染是指水質產生化學、生物或物理變化，
此對生物體有害的影響。
• 2. Table 19-1 lists the major classes of water pollutants
and their major human sources and harmful effects.表191列出了主要水污染物類別及其主要人類來源和有害影響。
• 3. The WHO estimates that 3.4 million people die
prematurely each year from waterborne diseases.世衛組
織估計，每年從飲水傳染疾病而過早死亡有340萬人，。
• 4. In the U.S., an estimated 1.5 million people a year
become ill from infectious agents(傳染媒介). 在美國，估
計有150萬人因傳染媒介而生病。
四、主要的水污染物質
（一）傳染源-INFECTIOUS AGENTS
• Examples: Bacteria(細菌), viruses(濾過性病
毒), protozoa(原生動物), and parasitic
worms(寄生蟲)
• Major Human Sources: Human and animal
wastes(人畜廢棄物)
• Harmful Effects: Disease(疾病)
measuring the number of colonies菌落 of fecal
coliform bacteria (大腸菌)present in a water
sample. （EX美國菠菜遭水污染事件）
（二）耗氧性廢污
OXYGEN-DEMANDING
WASTES
• Examples: Organic waste such as animal
manure(堆肥) and plant debris(殘枝) that can
be decomposed by aerobic (oxygen-requiring)
bacteria(由需氧菌分解)
• Major Human Sources: Sewage下水道污物,
animal feedlots(畜養場), paper mills造紙廠,
and food processing facilities(食品加工廠)
• Harmful Effects: Large populations of
bacteria decomposing(細菌分解) these
wastes can degrade water quality by depleting
減少 water of dissolved oxygen(溶解氧). This
causes fish and other forms of oxygenconsuming aquatic life(水生物) to die.
（三）水溶性無機化學製品
INORGANIC CHEMICALS
• Examples: Water-soluble 1) acids, (2) compounds of
toxic metals(有毒金屬化合物) such as lead (Pb鉛),
• arsenic (As砷), and selenium Se硒), and (3) salts such as
sodium chloride (NaCl) in ocean water and fluorides (F–氟
化物) found in some soils
• Major Human Sources: Surface runoff, industrial
effluents放流物, and household cleansers(清潔劑)
• Harmful Effects: Can (1) make fresh water unusable for
drinking or irrigation, (2) cause skin cancers and crippling
spinal and neck damage (F–), (3) damage the nervous
system (神經系統), liver, and kidneys(腎) (Pb and As), (4)
harm fish and other aquatic life, (5) lower crop yields, and
(6) accelerate corrosion of metals exposed to such
water.(加速水中金屬腐蝕)
（四）有機養料
PLANT NUTRIENTS
• Examples: Water-soluble compounds(水溶性化合物)
containing nitrate (NO3 – 硝酸鹽), phosphate (PO43–
磷酸鹽), and ammonium (NH4+ 氨鹽基) ions(離子)
• Major Human Sources: Sewage, manure堆肥, and
runoff of agricultural and urban fertilizers
• Harmful Effects: Can cause excessive growth of
algae(海藻) and other aquatic plants, which die,
decay, deplete water of dissolved oxygen, and kill
fish. Drinking water with excessive levels of nitrates
lowers the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and
can kill unborn children and infants (“blue baby
syndrome”併發症).
五、水質之衡量
• 以BOD測量-biological oxygen
demand生物需氧量 (BOD), the
amount of dissolved oxygen
consumed by
° aquatic水生物
decomposers分解.
• 係指在定溫20℃（68℉）之下，將定
量的水置放經五日潛伏期，觀察需氧
分解菌破壞有機物質所需耗用氧量的
多寡。

溶氧度，是用來測量在一大氣壓， 20˚C時液體中的溶氧含量，最常用的兩種測量單
位是ppm，或飽和百分率(%)-也就是溶解在1公升水中的溶氧百分率
六、河川、湖泊、水庫之污染
• 水的自清作用：污物一旦進入水體當中，會歷經四個程
序，即：
稀釋 == > 生物性分解 == > 擴散 == > 沉澱
• 1. A combination of dilution(稀釋) and
biodegradation(生物性分解) can allow recovery（復
育） of stream pollution if they are not
overloaded(未過渡污染), or have reduced flow(未流
量降低) due to damming(築壩), agricultural
diversion, or drought(乾旱).
• 一個稀釋、生物性分解組合，可以允許污染河流恢復，
如果他們未因過渡污染，或因築壩，農業取水，或乾旱
而減少流量（流量未降低，河川仍有自淨能力）。
水的自清作用影響要素(續)
• 2. The breakdown of pollutants(污染物的分解) by
bacteria creates an oxygen sag curve(氧氣消減曲
線). Organisms that have a high oxygen demand
can’t survive in the curve. 。藉由細菌分解污染物的
過程，產生了氧氣凹陷曲線。具有較高的氧需求的生
物體因而無法存在該曲線中。
• 3. Volume of the stream, volume of wastes
entering, flow rate, temperature, and pH levels all
affect how great a sag curve is produced. 23。河
流體積，廢棄物進入量，流速，溫度和pH值的水準，
都會影響凹陷曲線產生程度。
水體之流量、流速，將影響污物稀釋、
耗氧廢料之生物性分解情形
1.流量、流速↑  DO↑ 少量污物稀釋力、耗氧廢
料之生物性分解力↑
2.流量、流速↓  DO↓ 大量污物稀釋力、耗氧廢
料之生物性分解力↓
3.無法分解且永存之污物，將經由食物鏈（food
web）過程使濃度提高。
‧湖泊、水庫之污物稀釋力＜河川之污物稀釋力
‧沉澱有機物、無機物沉積水體底部，但有毒物
質將隨洪水來犯時又漂浮水面。
Pollution of Streams
 Oxygen sag curve  Factors influencing recovery
Fig. 22-5 p. 496
（一）、河川與廢污之分解
• 河水的自清過程所耗時間與其流量、
流速有關：
• 1.流量、流速↑DO↑, BOD↓自
清過程所耗時間較短
• 2.夏季，枯水期，流量、流速↓
空氣中O2轉化量↓DO↓大量污
物稀釋力↓
（二）、世界水質之概觀
1. 美國：水質尚佳，73%河、湖可遊憩、游泳。立法嚴格管制
水污染，污水須先處理方可入河。☆
2. 英國：1950年，泰晤士河（Thames River）污染嚴重，經30
年整治，花2.5億英磅方始復原。○
3. 德國：1970年，萊茵河（Rhine River）污染嚴重，經16年
整治，方始復原，但1986年瑞士Sandoz化工廠大火，排放大
量有毒化學物質入河，釀成大禍，經大力整治方始復原。○
4. 前蘇聯：水質不佳，工廠廢污入河，沒有適當水污染管制〤
5. 印度：在3,199個都市中，只有217個有下水道處理設施
（7%），其中只有8條有現代化處理設備。〤
6. 中國大陸：在78條受監控的河流當中，就有54條遭到污染。
其中有20%過度污染無法灌溉之用。〤
7. 拉丁美洲與非洲：許多河流穿越都市、工業區，嚴重污染。
〤（附註：整體水質 優☆，可○，劣〤）
A. MDC的有毒化學製品、非點
源污染仍嚴重
• 1. The U.S. has managed to avoid increases in pollution
from point sources in most streams.美國一直設法避免增
加大多數的點源污染。
• 2. There have been several examples of amazing
cleanup of rivers, such as the Cuyahoga River in Ohio
and the Thames River in Great Britain.已有幾個清理河
流例子,如在俄亥俄州凱霍加河和英國的泰晤士河。
• 3. There are still examples of large fish kills and
contamination of drinking water(飲水污染) from releases
of chemicals from industry and mining, and also from
non-point runoff of fertilizers and pesticides(肥料、殺蟲
劑). 仍然有大量魚類死亡和飲用水污染的例子，這是源自
於釋放出的化學品工業和採礦，以及從非定點逕流化肥和
農藥（肥料，殺蟲劑）。
B. LDC河川污染依然嚴重
• 以印度恆河為例，宗教信仰、傳統文化、貧窮、經濟發展
程度較低、人口眾多，導致恆河嚴重污染：
• 1. About 350 million people live in the Ganges River
basin with little treatment of sewage produced by them.
約有 3.5億人生活在恒河流域，但所產生的污水沒有作多
少處理。
• 2. Hindu(印度人) beliefs add pollution to the air when
bodies are cremated(火化遺體) and to the water when
partially cremated or non-cremated bodies are thrown
into the river in order to find their way to heaven(找到去
天堂的路). 印度人的信仰卻增加了空氣的污染，每當火化
遺體，有些部分火化或不火化屍體被扔進河裡，以便找到
通往天堂的路。
印度恆河污染因素(續)
• 3. The government is working to clean up the river
by building waste treatment plants(污水處理廠) in the
29 large cities along the Ganges(恆河) and by building
electric crematoriums(電動火化場) on its banks. It has
also introduced(引進) snapping turtles(海龜) as body
scavengers(食腐動物).政府正在努力清理河道，這是通
過在沿恒河（恒河） 29大城市建立廢棄物處理廠（污
水處理廠）和在其河岸興建電動火化場。它還引進生猛
海龜，以為屍體的清道夫（食腐動物）。
• 4. Most of these plans are not yet in place, and
religious and cultural conditions are difficult to
change.但大多數這些計劃還沒有到位，況且宗教和文
化條件難以改變。
(三)、湖泊、水庫之污染
• A. Lakes have little flow and so are less effective at
diluting pollutants that enter them(少有流動→釋污力↓).
湖的流量小，稀釋進入湖內污染物效率低。
• 1. Lakes and reservoirs are often stratified into
layers(分層現象) with little vertical mixing, and they also
have very little flow occurring. It may take from 1–100
years to flush(湧流) and change water in lakes and
reservoirs.湖泊和水庫常有分層現象且少有混合垂直，而
且少有流量發生。它可能需要從 1-100年才有湧流，及改
變湖泊和水庫的水。
• 2. Lakes and reservoirs are much more vulnerable(脆弱
的) to runoff contamination of all kinds of materials.湖泊
和水庫的逕流易遭各種物質污染。
• 3. Chemical concentrations(濃度↑) build up as they pass
through the food webs in lakes.化學濃度（濃度↑）將通
過湖泊的食物網而加大。
(三)、湖泊、水庫之污染
• B. 人類活動導致湖內含養過量→DO↓→水生物死亡
• 1. Natural nutrient enrichment of lakes from runoff
is called eutrophication. The amount of natural
eutrophication depends on the composition of the
surrounding drainage basin(流域面積).
• 湖泊從逕流帶入營養豐富的天然物被稱為優養化。天然水
體優養化的數額取決於周圍排放水域的組成。
• 2. Natural eutrophication can enrich the
abundance of desirable organisms, but cultural
eutrophication occurs near urban or agricultural
areas and can lead to serious pollution problems.
• 天然優養化可以豐富有機體，但文化優養化卻發生在城市
或農業地區附近，並可能導致嚴重的污染問題。
優養化現象(續)
• 3. During hot weather or drought, “blooms” of
organisms can reduce lake productivity.
• 在炎熱的天氣和乾旱之時，一叢叢的生物體將減少湖泊的
生產力。
• 4. Reduced sunlight and the subsequent
decomposition(隨後分解) of the “blooms” increase
populations of bacteria and decreases dissolved
oxygen (DO) ↓available.
• 陽光減少照射，隨後這些植物叢的分解，將會增加細菌量，
減少可用的溶解氧（DO）↓。
• 5.Fish kills can occur, and the problem can become
so bad that anaerobic bacteria(厭氧菌) take over.
• 魚類死亡可能發生，且一旦厭氧菌到處滋生，問題將會變
得更糟糕。

表2-2-11 90 年至97 年本島20 座主要水庫營養階層分級
台灣水庫優養化原因和對策
• 水庫優養化原因， 主要為水庫內部底泥中營養鹽的污染
及由外部進入水庫的污染， 例如家庭污水、遊憩廢水等
點污染源， 及因水庫集水區地形陡峻， 每經豪大雨沖
刷， 河川流經區域之茶園、果園的農藥、肥料及開發行
為中土壤、林地落葉等之主要污染物質-氮磷-即被帶入
水庫， 加上水庫容積小、日照強烈， 優養化情形即顯
現。
• 96年已先針對翡翠水庫水質之保護， 製作新店溪上游
「農業非點源污染控制技術執行手冊」， 及辦理3場次
最佳污染管理控制措施之宣導會， 包括大雨來不施肥、
適量施肥、農藥罐不亂丟、種植草溝、草帶、山邊溝等
9種方法。同時完成3處共2.67公頃緩衝帶及溼地， 削
減鄰近茶園、社區排水的污染。後續環保署將持續於翡
翠、石門、曾文及金門縣湖庫， 加強執行水庫集水區保
育相關工作。
『優養化』或『枯竭』現象投入、
產出防治法（P.490-491）
1.優養化投入防治方法：
(1)採進階式污水處理（P.504）
(2)禁止或限制家用清潔劑磷酸鹽用量。
(3)實施水土保持與土地使用管制以降低逕流
含營養成分。
2.優養化產出清除方法：
(1)剷除沉澱物以去除帶養份組織。
(2)以除草劑或去藻劑去除過量雜草，控制不
需要的植物成長。
(3)以幫浦（pump）打入空氣到湖或水庫中，
以避免氧量耗竭。
Case Study: The Great Lakes
Fig. 22-8
p. 500
C. 案例：北美五大湖(the Great
Lakes)的污染和清除
• 1.The Great Lakes contain about 95% of the fresh
surface water in the United States, and one-fifth of the
world’s fresh surface water. 大湖水體約占美國地表淡水的
95％，以及和世界地表淡水的五分之一。
• 2. At least 38 million people obtain drinking water form
the lakes.這些湖泊供應3800萬人飲水。
• 3. The lakes are vulnerable to pollution(易受污) because
they have less than 1% outflow to the St. Lawrence River,
and there is land runoff and atmospheric deposition(大氣
沈澱物) of acids, pesticides, etc. being blown into them.這
些湖泊容易受到污染，因為他們流到聖勞倫斯河的水量已
經低於 1％，且土地的逕流和含酸的大氣沉澱物、農藥，
也被吹到湖中。
• 4. Lake Erie is the shallowest(淺) of the lakes and was
the most polluted, due to the highest concentration of
people and industry.伊利湖是最淺的湖泊，曾經污染最
嚴重，因其為人口和工業高度聚集地。
北美五大湖的污染和清除(續)
• 5.Since 1972, the U.S. and Canada have worked together
to reduce pollution.自1972年以來，美國和加拿大共同努力
減少污染。
• 6.There are still problems to be solved such as a large
area of depleted oxygen(耗氧) that occurs in the center of
the lake each August for unknown reasons. 但還有問題需
要解決，如每年八月發生在湖中心的耗氧面積廣大，其原
因不明。
• 7. A 2000 survey by the EPA stated that more than threefourths of the shoreline(湖岸線) of the Great Lakes is not
clean enough for swimming or use as drinking water.大湖
區水質欠佳。按美國環保局 2000年的調查指出，大湖區超
過四分之三的湖岸線並不乾淨，不能游泳或用作飲用水。
• 8. Non-point land runoff is a greater problem than
industrial pollution now for the Great Lakes.在大湖區，現
在非點源的土地逕流，比工業污染的問題更大。
北美五大湖的污染和清除(續)
• 9.Bio magnification of the depositions from
atmospheric contaminants means that one fish in four
is unsafe for human consumption.(大氣污染沈澱物之
生物性擴大↑,表示1/4的魚不能供人安全的食用。
• 10. EPA funding for cleanup has also dropped by
80% since 1992. 自1992年, 環保局清理資金已經下降
了80％。
• 11. Environmentalists call for banning the use of
bleach(禁用漂白劑), building new incinerators(焚化爐),
and stopping the discharge(放流水) into the lakes of
70 toxic chemicals.環保人士呼籲禁止使用漂白劑，興
建新的垃圾焚化爐，並禁止將70種有毒化學物質排放到
湖中。
七、地面水污染之防治
• 地面水污染較易查覺，監控亦較地下水相對容易。其防
治之方法：定點與不定點污源防治法
– A. 減少地面水非點源污染的方法；
– 1. Agricultural non-point pollution can be reduced
by reducing soil erosion減少土壤侵蝕, reforestation
造林 of watersheds, keeping cover crops(覆蓋作物)
on farmland, reducing fertilizer use or using slowrelease fertilizer, and planting buffer zones(緩衝帶)
between farmland and surface water nearby.農業非
點源污染，可藉由減少土壤侵蝕、在流域造林、農
地上保持覆蓋作物、減少化肥使用或使用緩釋肥，
農田和附近地表水之間栽植緩衝地帶。
– 2. Rely more on biological control methods (生物控
制法)rather than pesticides.更為依賴生物控制方法，
而不是農藥。
圖2-1-2 基本的和寬廣的農業緩衝區
資料來源：Sullivan et al.,2004 :303
A.不定點污源之防治-美國
• 3. In 2002, a federal court forced the EPA to
uphold(支持) the intent of the Clean Water Act and
require 15,500 of the largest feedlots(飼養場) to apply
for EPA permits(許可). 2002年，聯邦法院強制環保局
支持淨水法案的意圖，並要求15,500最大飼養場需向環
保局申請許可。 (需先申請許可，方可飼養)
• This means that these “factories” will have to obey the
same pollution controls that are used by other
industries since 1972.這意味著，這些“工廠”將不得
不遵守自1972年以來用來管控其他工業的措施。
• 同樣的污染控制所使用的4.
Research on how to
use animal wastes more effectively is underway. 3。
（需先申請許可，方可飼養）
4。研究如何更有效地利用牲畜糞便正在進行。
A.不定點污源之防治-美國
• 1. The Clean Water Act sets standards for allowed
levels of key water pollutants and requires polluters to
obtain permits that specify the amounts of pollutants they
can discharge into aquatic systems.(清潔水法規定排放流
標準,並要求污染者需先取得排放許可證，指定可排放入水
系統之污染物數量)
• 2. The EPA is experimenting with a discharge trading
policy that would allow a permit holder to purchase
unused credits from another permit holder.(美國環保局正
在試驗一種排放流貿易政策 --污染許可證可予交易，未用
餘額可以賣給他人)
• 3. There are good and bad points to credit trading, such
as a possible buildup of pollutants in areas where credits
are bought.(排污權買賣有好有壞-徒使購買排污權的地區
污源增加)
B. 開中國家不定點污源欠缺防治
• 4. Most cities in developing countries
discharge 80–90% of untreated sewage into
rivers, lakes, and streams used for drinking
water, bathing, and washing clothes.(但，開
發中國家放流大多未經處理)
• 4。大多數發展中國家的城市，將80-90％未
經處理的污水排入河流、湖泊和溪流中，而
這些水是用於飲用，洗澡和洗衣服。（但，
開發中國家放流大多未經處理）

• 工廠排放廢污未處理
Figure 21-5
C. 定點污源之防治
• 1. About one-fourth of homes in the U.S. are served
by septic tanks(化糞池).在美國，約有四分之一的住宅
供應化糞池。
• 2. Most urban areas are served by sewage treatment
plants(污水處理廠).大多數城市都提供有污水處理廠。
• 3. Some 1,200 cities have combined storm runoff and
sewer lines because it is cheaper(雨水、污水下水道
未分立). These systems can overflow溢滿 and
discharge untreated sewage directly into surface
water with too many users or when there is a heavy
storm.約 1200個城市已有聯合雨水逕流和下水道，因
為這樣較便宜。但用戶太多或有一場暴風雨時，這些系
統會溢滿，並排放未經處理的污水直接排入地表水。
C. 定點污源之防治(續)
• 4. Aging sewer systems(老化污水處理系統) and
combined sewer systems in the U.S. are estimated to
cost $10 billion a year for 10 years to install dual
systems, add capacity, and repair the aging sewer
network.美國老化的下水道系統，和下水道系統相結合，
估計需在10年間耗資 100億美元來安裝雙組（分立）系
統，以增加容量，並修復老化的污水管網。
5.Raw sewage generally undergoes one or two levels of
treatment.污水一般須經一、二級處理
• 6. Primary sewage treatment is a physical process that
removes grit(砂礫), floating objects(漂浮物), and
suspended solids(懸浮微粒). A settling tank(沈澱池)
allows suspended solids to settle out as sludge(污泥).
一級污水處理是一種物理過程，可消除砂礫、漂浮物、
懸浮固體（懸浮微粒）。一個沉澱池允許懸浮固體可以
處理為污泥。

nitrates, salts, radioisotopes(放射性同位素), or pesticides.一級
污水處理去除約 60％的懸浮微粒和30-40％的有機廢物，但無法
去除磷酸鹽，硝酸鹽，鹽類，放射性同位素，或殺蟲劑。
• 8. Secondary sewage treatment is a biological process where
aerobic bacteria需氧菌 remove up to 90% of dissolved and
biodegradable生物分解, oxygen-demanding organic wastes.二

和生物可降解、需氧的有機廢物。
• 9. A combination of primary and secondary treatment removes
95–97% of the suspended solids and oxygen-demanding
organic wastes, 70% of most toxic metal compounds金屬化合
物, 70% of phosphorus磷, 50% of nitrogen氮, and 5% of
dissolved salts. 一個結合一級和二級的污水處理，可消除95-97
％的懸浮固體和需氧的有機廢物，70％的多數有毒的金屬化合物，
70％的磷，50％的氮，及5％的溶解鹽。
C. 定點污源之防治(續)
• 10. Most U.S. cities have combined primary and
secondary sewage treatment plants. A number of
cities have been in violation at times, and 34 East
Coast cities screen out(擋住) large floating objects and
discharge sewage into coastal waters. 大多數美國城市
已有一級和二級聯合污水處理廠。一些城市有時違反常
情，有34個東海岸城市擋住了大型漂浮物和排放污水到
沿岸水域。
• 11. Tertiary sewage treatments(三級污水處理) are a
third level of cleanup. Here, a combination of chemical
and physical processes remove specific pollutants left
by the other methods. This is expensive and used to
treat only 5% of the wastewater in the U.S. 11。三級
污水處理是第三個層次的清理。在這裡，化學和物理的
組合過程，去除特定污染物而留下其他的方法。這是昂
貴的，在美國只有5％的廢水用此方法處理。
C. 定點污源之防治(續)
• 12. Water is bleached(漂白) to remove colors
and then disinfected(消毒殺菌) to kill diseasecausing bacteria and some viruses(濾過性病
毒). Chlorination(加氨消毒) is the usual
method of disinfection(消毒法).將水加以漂白、
除色，然後進行消毒，以殺死致病細菌和一些
病毒。而加氨消毒是通常的消毒方法。
• 13. Ozonation(臭氧) and use of ultraviolet
light(紫外線) are increasing as methods of
disinfection消毒.
13。臭氧和使用紫外線，是越來越多被用來消
毒的方法。
Technological Approach: Advanced
(Tertiary) Sewage Treatment
(三級污水處理)
Uses physical and chemical processes
使用物理和化學過程
Removes nitrate and phosphate
去除硝酸鹽和磷酸鹽
Expensive 昂貴
Not widely used 未被廣泛採用
D. 污水處理之污泥需妥予處理
• 1. Sludge is a thick, gooey mixture(膠黏混合物) of
bacteria, solids, chemicals, and metals金屬 when
industrial and household wastes are combined.當工業和
家庭廢物相結合時，會產生污泥。污泥是一種粘稠的物體，
為細菌、固體、化學品、金屬混合成糊糊的混合物。
• 2. Some sludge undergoes anaerobic(厭氧的)
digestion(消化) to decompose(分解) the organic materials
and produce compost(混合物).一些污泥經過厭氧的消化作
用，以分解有機材料和製造堆肥。
• 3. About 36% of these biosolids are used to fertilize
farmland, forests, golf courses, cemeteries, etc. The rest
is added to landfills(垃圾掩埋場) or incinerated(焚化). 約
有36％的生物固體是用來施肥於農田，森林，高爾夫球場，
墓地等，其餘將被添加到垃圾填埋場或焚化。
D. 污水處理之污泥需妥予處理
• 4. Composting sludge to recycle(再利用) the plant
nutrients makes good ecological sense, but
removing infectious bacteria傳染菌, toxic chemicals,
and metals is expensive and seldom done in the
U.S.污泥堆肥回收（再利用）植物的營養素，具有良
好的生態意義，但是，消除傳染病菌、有毒化學品以
及金屬的價格昂貴，故在美國很少這樣做。
• 5. It is thought that a number of health problems
may be due to using sludge to fertilize crops in the
U.S.(少用污泥施肥—健康因素) 。
• 一般認為，在美國有不少健康問題，可能是由於使用
污泥對作物施肥所致。

E. 防止有毒化學物質進入污水處理廠
• 1. Require industries and businesses to remove toxic
and hazardous wastes from water sent to sewage
treatment plants; encourage reduction or elimination
除去 of toxic chemical use and waste. 1。需要工業和
企業消除含有毒和有害廢物的水，這需送到污水處理廠;
處理，並鼓勵減少或消除有毒化學品的使用和廢棄物。
• 2. Have households switch to waterless composting
toilet systems maintained by professionals. These
systems would be cheaper to install and maintain
since they do not need underground pipes（無須設置
地下管線）.使用戶轉換到無水堆肥廁所系統，由專業
人士加以維護。這些系統的安裝和維護成本更低，因為
他們並不需要地下管道（無須設置地下管線）。
F. 運用自然和人工濕地處理污水
• 1.These systems are a low-tech, low-cost alternative to
expensive waste treatment plants. 這些系統是低技術、
低成本的，以替代昂貴的廢棄物處理廠。
• 2. Sewage goes to sedimentation tanks(沈澱池) where
solids settle as sludge that is removed. The liquid(液體)
is pumped to oxidation ponds(氧化池); bacteria break
down remaining wastes. After a month, water is
released to an artificial marsh(人工沼澤) where plants
and bacteria filter(濾除) and cleanse it. 2。污水流入沉
澱池，可將固體加以處理成污泥。液體被泵入氧化池中;
細菌分解將剩下一些廢物。一個月後，將水釋放到人工
濕地，裡面有植物和細菌可過濾，使它潔淨。
F. 運用自然和人工濕地處理污水
• 3. Mark Nelson developed a small, low-tech,
inexpensive artificial wetland system for use in
developing countries at hotels, restaurants, and homes.
It removes 99.9% of fecal coliform bacteria(大腸菌) and
over 80% of the nitrates and phosphates from sewage.
The water thus cleaned could be used for garden
irrigation or flushing toilets and save water.
• 馬克尼爾森開發了一種小型、低技術、廉價的人工濕地
系統，以供發展中國家在酒店、餐館和家庭使用。它消
除99.9％的大腸菌群，和超過 80％的硝酸鹽和磷酸鹽的
污水。因此，清潔的水可用於園林灌溉或沖洗廁所，及
節約用水。

八、地下水之污染與防治
（一）地下水之自清作用力較地面水低
（∵地下水之流速慢，污染物質不易稀釋、
擴散，分解性細菌含量少）
˙地下水污染之主要來源：（P.494）
1.地下儲存槽滲漏含毒之有機化學
物質
2.地下深井堆放含毒物質
˙地下水污染防治之困難：
1.管制不嚴，不易察覺
2.設置偵測井昂貴又不一定有效。

A. 地下水易受污染之特性
• 1. Spilling gasoline, oil, paint thinners(油漆稀釋
劑), and other organics onto the ground can
contaminate groundwater.溢出汽油，機油，油漆
稀釋劑及其他有機物在地面上，從而污染地下水。
• 2. Experts rate groundwater pollution as a lowrisk ecological problem; it is rated as a high-risk
health problem.專家將地下水污染視為一個低風險
的生態問題，但它被評為高風險的健康問題。
• 3. Contaminated water in the aquifer(含水層) will
slowly flow along and create a plume of
contaminated water. 被污染水一旦進入含水層裡，
將慢慢流動，並形成一層層污染的水。
A. 地下水易受污染之特性(續)
• 4. Contaminants in groundwater are not diluted(稀釋)
or dispersed(驅散) because this water moves usually
less than 0.3 meter, or 1 foot per day.地下水污染物並
不會稀釋或驅散，因為這些水流移動通常少於 0.3米，
或每天少於1公尺。
• 5. Factors such as lower oxygen content, colder
temperature of the water, and smaller populations of
decomposing bacteria mean that cleansing is
extremely slow. 出現如低的含氧量，水溫較低，和分解
菌種群小等因素，意味著淨化將是非常緩慢。
6. It can take hundreds of years to cleanse
degradable wastes; nondegradable wastes are there
permanently. 它可能得花上數百年來淨化可分解廢物;
而不可分解的廢物將長期留存。
B. 地下水(含水層)監測欠缺
• 1. EPA and U.S. Geological Survey figures state that
one or more organic chemicals contaminate about
45% of municipal groundwater supplies in the U.S. 據
EPA和美國地質調查局數據說明，有機化工污染，約占
美國的城市地下水供應的 45％。
• 2. Some 26,000 industrial waste ponds and lagoons in
the U.S. do not have a liner to prevent toxic waste
seepage(滲流). 在美國，有 26000座工業廢水池和潟湖
(鹹水湖)沒有襯墊，難以防止有毒廢物滲漏。
• 3. A great many of the underground storage tanks(地
下儲存槽) containing organic solvents(有機溶劑) have
been found to have leaks(裂縫).大量的地下儲油槽含有
有機溶劑，已發現有洩漏情形。
• 4. Determining the extent of a leak is costly, and the
cost of cleanup is more costly yet. 然要確定洩漏的程度
是昂貴的，且其清理成本甚至要更昂貴。
B. 地下水(含水層)監測欠缺(續)
• 5. In China and India, millions of people drink water
contaminated with high levels of fluoride(氟化物) that
cause back and neck damage and dentalproblems.
• 在中國和印度，成千上萬的人飲用受污染的水與高濃度
的氟化物，導致背部和頸部的損傷和牙齒的問題。
• 6. Nitrates(硝酸鹽) can also contaminate groundwater,
especially in agricultural areas. Nitrates converting to
nitrites(亞硝酸鹽) in the body can cause various forms
of cancer and in babies under 6 months old causes
“blue baby syndrome” because the blood can’t carry
sufficient oxygen to the cells。
• 硝酸鹽也會污染地下水，特別是在農業地區。硝酸鹽轉
換為亞硝酸鹽，則在體內可引起各種形式的癌症，6個
月以下嬰兒將導致「藍嬰綜合症」，因為血液不能攜帶
足夠的氧氣給細胞之故。（血液帶氧量不足）
B. 地下水(含水層)監測欠缺(續)
• 7. Arsenic(砷) is released into drinking water when a
well is drilled(鑽孔) into arsenic-rich soils and rock. WHO
estimates that more than 112 million people drink water
containing 5–100 times the recommended level of 10
parts/billion.當鑽井時，如鑽孔到含砷的土壤和岩石，將
使砷被釋放到飲用水井。世衛組織估計，有超過 1.12億人
飲用的水中含有10單位/十億建議含砷量的5-100倍。
• 8.Bangladesh has a serious. problem with arsenic, but
the UN and several NGOs have started a program to
assess wells and mark those that are too contaminated
with red paint.孟加拉國有一個嚴重的砷問題，但聯合國和
一些非政府組織已開始進行一項計劃，評估一些水井，並
對那些過於污染者，噴上紅色油漆。
• 9. The 1-ppb(十億分之一) level is considered to still be
too high a level for safe drinking water. 就安全飲用水言，
十億分之一的水平，仍然被認為是過高的。

九、飲用水水質
(Drinking Water Quality)
 Purification of urban drinking water
 Protection from terrorism
 Purification of rural drinking water
 Safe Drinking Water Act
 Maximum contaminant levels (MCLs)
 Bottled water
九、飲用水水源水質
• 飲用水的水源，主要還是地面水與地下水，且其水質要求比
灌溉用水來得嚴格。飲用水淨化措施如下:
• 1. Exposure of contaminated water to intense sunlight in a
clear plastic bottle(透明塑膠管) is one method. It takes as
little as 3 hours to kill bacteria in the sun and heat.將受污染
的水裝在透明塑膠管，在強烈的陽光下曝曬，是一種好方法。
在陽光和熱之下，它只要短短3個小時就能殺死細菌。
• 2. Cholera incidences(霍亂影響範圍) have been cut in half
in Bangladesh by filtering water(濾水) through strips of
cloth(棉織物).在孟加拉國，霍亂發病率已減少了一半，這是
通過棉織物加以過濾水。
• 3. A third method is to add a small amount of chlorine to a
plastic or clay storage vessel(管) with a small mouth, cap,
and a spigot.This has cut the rate of diarrheal diseasein
half in countries where it is used.第三種方法是添加少量的
氯的塑料或粘土儲存管，開個小口，加蓋和水龍頭。使用它
國家裡，已削減一半的腹瀉疾病比率。
A. 飲用水質課題
• 約有54國訂有水質標準，但有如下課題：
• 1. Levels have been established called maximum
contaminant levels for any pollutants that may
adversely affect human health. 所謂污染物的各級最
高標準已經建立，這是按污染物是否會影響人體健康
而定。
• 2. Privately owned wells don’t have to meet these
standards.私有水井不需達到這些標準 (私井不受規範)
• 3. Health scientists want the standards to be
strengthened.保健有關的科學家希望能夠強化該標準
• 4. Certain industries want to weaken the Safe
Drinking Water Act. 但某些產業想要削弱「安全飲用
水法案」的效能。
B. 瓶裝水課題
• 1. Bottled water is vastly more expensive than tap
water(自來水) and about one-fourth of it is tap water, onethird of it is contaminated with bacteria, and various harmful
organic chemicals contaminate about one-fifth of it. 瓶裝水
比自來水貴得多，其中約四分之一是自來水，三分之一卻是
受細菌污染，而各種有害的有機化學污染物約占五分之一。
• 2. Use of bottled water also can cause environmental
problems from all of the throw-away plastic bottles. 使用瓶裝
水也可能導致環境問題，因喝完後往往扔掉塑料瓶。
• 3. Manufacture of the bottles releases toxic gases and
liquids.製造瓶子時，還會釋放有毒氣體和液體。
• 4. Before buying costly home purification systems, have
water tested by an independent company.在購買昂貴的家居
淨化系統，應有獨立的水公司進行測試。
• 5. Be sure to check out claims by a company that they are
EPA approved because the EPA registers devices, but
neither tests nor approves them.一定要檢查公司所宣稱的各
項品質保證，因為他們是美國環保局批准登記的設備。
C. 全民參與防治飲用水污染
• We need to shift priorities from controlling to
preventing and reducing water pollution, and this will
require bottom-up political action by individuals and
groups.我們必須從控制重點轉移到預防和減少水的污
染，而這將需要個人和團體自下而上的政治行動。
• 1. Bottom-up political pressure on elected officials
has reduced point-source water pollution.對民選官員
自下而上的政治壓力，已減少點源污染。
2. A shift needs to be made to how we can prevent
water pollution in the first place. 一個需要作出改變，
即是我們要將如何才能防止水質污染擺在首位。
• 3. Prevention of water pollution will take action from
individuals and groups to pressure elected officials.
個人和團體會採取行動，對民選官員施加壓力，以防止
水質污染。
