Probabilistic Evaluation

Water-quality models that are simple yet sound and reliable and that correspond to water-quality criteria that include magnitude, frequency, and duration components are needed. Monte Carlo models are developed on the basis of available flow and water-quality data and a deterministic water-quality model appropriate for the problem at hand and the data available. Monte Carlo models yield time series and probability distributions of constituents of interest in conformance with water-quality criteria. The application of a Monte Carlo model to the probabilistic evaluation of ammonia toxicity in Milwaukee's Outer Harbor is presented here. Under typical operating conditions for the Jones Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, ammonia toxicity was found to not be a problem for the Outer Harbor. The Monte Carlo model then was used to determine effluent limits that would meet the ammonia toxicity criteria.

Heavy Metal Pollutants

Water quality criteria are the scientific basis for formulating water quality standards and environmental management practices. Due to the development of urbanization and industrialization, the problem of heavy metal pollution has become a serious environmental problem. Heavy metals not only have major impacts on aquatic organisms, but also seriously threaten human health. However, the current environmental criteria refer to the maximum value limitations of environmental factors in environmental media where harmful or detrimental effects are not produced on specific protected objects. This study reviewed the sources, hazard levels, toxic effect mechanisms, and the current research status of China’s water quality criteria for heavy metal pollutants. In addition, the focus and direction of future research on the toxic effects of heavy metal on aquatic organisms and the necessary criteria changes were discussed. The present study would provide an important theoretical basis for the future research of water quality criteria and risk assessment of heavy metal pollutants.
