Tip 1: How to keep the water clean


Cleaning is necessary for any water body, regardless ofits type, size, location and pollution intensity. Even the smallest pond or pool, which is located in the suburban area and regularly filled with clean water, needs special treatment and disinfection.



Determination of the level of water pollution


If the reservoir is not given proper attention, thenIn the meantime, its condition worsens - the banks are showered, unnecessary impurities accumulate in the water, which enter into it with sewage and thawed waters or with atmospheric precipitation; fungal spores and insect larvae reproduce in the silt sediments at the bottom of the reservoir. And if the river is exposed to the risk of pollution to a lesser extent, thanks to the current, ponds and lakes without timely cleaning in a short time become unfit for bathing, or for breeding fish, or for watering garden areas and gardens. In small decorative ponds or swimming pools, which are located in the suburban area, cleaning can be done on their own. To maintain large reservoirs there are special services equipped with appropriate equipment and how they monitor the cleanliness of water bodies depends not only on the state of a particular lake or gulf, but also on the ecology of the planet as a whole.

How is the treatment of reservoirs

Cleaning of water bodies of any size can occurin one of four ways. Each of them is effective and widely distributed on the territory of both Russia and the world as a whole. Small water reservoirs can be cleaned with the help of ultraviolet radiation. A sealed chamber with a UV filter is lowered into the reservoir, which generates radiation of certain frequencies, killing harmful viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Advantages of this method are that no chemical reagents enter the water and human intervention consists only in the timely replacement of components and maintenance of the device. The chemical method of purification consists in the operation of special reagents placed in water. They not only save unnecessary vegetation in the pond, but also saturate it with oxygen, regulate its acidity. Most chemical reagents do not harm either the person or his pets. For biological treatment, a container is used with bacteria that feed on organic substances while simultaneously removing water from vegetation and pollution. The most common method is mechanical cleaning of reservoirs, during which water is passed through filters of gravel, quartz sand or a mixture thereof. The mechanical filter consists of several stages with different density, on which remains unnecessary organic matter, mud, and other impurities. After carrying out the procedure, the installation can be washed with running water or replaced with filters, in case of their strong clogging.

Signs of pollution of the reservoir

Clear signs that the pond needscleaning, there are several factors that can not be noticed which is almost impossible. The first bell is a variety of pollution on the surface of the water, for example, leaves and branches of trees, pollen and stems of herbs and plants, fluff of waterfowl. In the next stage, the water begins to exude an unpleasant smell and is covered with a film similar to residual oil products in the form of oily multi-colored spots. The third, more complex form is active growth of algae, duckweed. Cleaning of such contaminants can be carried out only mechanically, in several stages. The fourth, the most complicated form of pollution is the release of gases with an unpleasant odor from the bottom of the reservoir. In this case, it is already impossible to cope without the help of specialists and ecologists. The contents of the reservoir must be removed, the silt layer should be removed from its bottom and disinfected with chemical reagents.

Tip 2: How to protect your child from summer poisoning


Summer is a long-awaited time for rest and fun for children. There are bathing in lakes, picnics with friends, and all kinds of hikes in the forests and fields. There are a lot of pleasant impressions and emotions from summer pastime, however, parents and children do not bypass the problem during this period. For example, poisoning is one of the most frequent phenomena, disturbing not only kids, but also schoolchildren. There are several reasons for poor health, as well as ways to protect your child from such an opportunity.



How to protect your child from summer poisoning


The temptation to eat fresh berries, drink waterfrom the spring or pamper yourself with ice cream has not bypassed anyone. Often it is dirty hands, unwashed vegetables and fruits that cause food poisoning. Parents can not follow every step of their offspring, but they can warn the child about the possible consequences and protect, for example, the upcoming joint holiday. Take care with the purchase of fruits and berries, remember that all the fruits ripen in their due time. Thus, June watermelons and April strawberries are either the result of work of plant breeders or a product grown using various modified tools and fertilizers. And the latter, unfortunately, is not always harmless. Wash vegetables and fruits with clean water. Do not try to use for this purpose other liquids, such as juices, carbonated drinks, and even more water from rivers and lakes. To natural springs and keys, too, be careful. To drink raw water to small children is contraindicated. If you are going on a picnic, think about how to keep food, without subjecting them to excessive overheating. For these purposes, you will need: food film, foil, vacuum containers or thermo-shrink. Do not leave dishes open for a long time, because the insects do not take long to wait. Moss, flies, wasps - than not carriers of dirt and bacteria. A significant threat is a shish kebab in nature: from the stage of choosing and buying meat - to its preparation in marching conditions. Choose meat, paying attention to its color, smell, as well as the conditions in which this product is contained. It means the presence of a cold store, the cleanliness of the counter and the neat look of the seller. Evenly fry pieces of shish kebab, use clean dishes for the finished product. Keep the knife and the cutting board for meat separately, this inventory should no longer be used without special treatment. Learn your children to take care of the cleanliness of their hands, tell what happens when they take food with dirty hands. Let your child always have a moist cleansing napkin or gel with him. In nature, it is best to take a can of clean water, if it allows transport. Be careful when swimming in water, make sure that the child does not swallow dirty water. Choose as far as possible clean lakes and rivers where bathing is allowed. Do not forget about precautions even on your garden plot. Fresh herbs, berries and vegetables are also subject to warm water treatment, before your child wishes to eat them.
