[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0044] To address the problems existing in the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for constructing multi-level fingerprint maps of river cross sections, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps 101 to 105:

[0045] Step 101: Obtain water environment information of the river cross section.

[0046] Among them, water environment information includes pollution sources, hydrology, and basic water quality conditions in the river water environment.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 The main method of information gathering is through on-site investigation, historical data collection, and consultation with relevant personnel. The investigation of pollution sources in river sections and watersheds is divided into point source and non-point source investigations. Point source investigations require investigating the location of the discharge outlets, whether the pollution is centralized or decentralized, the main water quality parameters of the discharged wastewater, and the subsequent treatment of the discharged wastewater by each point source. Non-point source investigations require investigating the area and location of the non-point source pollution sources, and the main pollutants. The investigation of river hydrological parameters mainly involves collecting historical river hydrological data, such as river level, runoff, sediment content, and flow velocity. The investigation of basic water quality parameters mainly involves measuring water temperature, pH, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chlorophyll, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, and suspended solids concentration.

[0048] Step 102: Collect water samples from the river section based on the water environment information of the river section.

[0049] The water samples collected from the river cross-section were obtained using an online timed water sampling device. The structural diagram of the sampling device is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 2 The water sampling equipment collects water samples at set intervals daily, which can be customized, such as every 12 hours, a suitable interval. When the online timer control panel of the water sampling equipment receives a collection signal, it activates the water pump to collect water samples from the river section into a sedimentation tank. After settling in the sedimentation tank for half an hour, the samples are transferred to various storage tanks, and then pumped to different devices for testing. There can be one or more sedimentation tanks and storage tanks. Figure 2 The quantities shown are for illustrative purposes only, and the actual quantities can be set according to the actual situation. This invention does not impose any restrictions.

[0050] Step 103: Screen characteristic pollutants based on the water samples from the river section and the water environment information.

[0051] Among them, high-resolution mass spectrometry was used to perform a full scan of water samples from a river section to obtain data such as the elution time, chromatographic peaks, and the size of the parent and daughter ions of various pollutants. Then, the obtained data was matched and compared with data in the mass spectrometry library to screen out characteristic pollutants. The screening principle for characteristic pollutants was to select pollutants whose peak area was greater than 1000 after deducting 5 times the area of ​​the blank peak, with a confidence value greater than or equal to 75% and an exact mass number error of less than 1 part per million. These characteristic pollutants have high resolution, high detection frequency, high stability, and high sensitivity.

[0052] Step 104: Establish a multi-level fingerprint database of river sections based on the characteristic pollutants.

[0053] First, multiple databases are established based on the classification of characteristic pollutants. This step includes: using online timed water sampling equipment to send collected river cross-section water samples to conventional index detection instruments to detect basic water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, suspended solids concentration, chlorophyll, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus to determine the primary fingerprint spectrum; then, the water samples are pumped to sedimentation tanks, left to stand for half an hour, and then pumped to various storage tanks. The water samples in the storage tanks are then transferred to a three-dimensional fluorescence tracer to generate a three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum to determine the secondary fingerprint spectrum, and finally, a portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is used to analyze the secondary fingerprint spectrum. VOCs in the water were detected using a multi-stage fingerprinting system to determine a tertiary fingerprint spectrum. Water samples from some storage tanks were then taken to the laboratory for analysis. First, the water samples were filtered. Then, one portion of the samples was directly sent to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) to generate a heavy metal spectrum, while the other portion underwent solid-phase extraction and vacuum concentration before being sent to a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system to generate a toxic organic pollutant spectrum. The heavy metal and toxic organic pollutant spectra determined a quaternary fingerprint spectrum. These five spectrum databases together constitute a multi-stage fingerprint spectrum of pollution sources at a river section. The multi-stage fingerprint spectra of all pollution sources in a river basin constitute a multi-stage fingerprint spectrum database for the target river.

[0054] Among them, the fingerprint refers to the water quality fingerprint. Regardless of the industry, each company's raw materials, intermediate products, characteristic pollutants, processes, and management levels are different, resulting in different residual pollutants discharged into the water. Therefore, each company's wastewater contains its own unique information, which is the water pattern of the wastewater. For example, using the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum of a water pollution early warning and tracing instrument, it can be seen that each substance emits different fluorescence, and the higher the concentration of a substance, the more prominent it is in the spectrum.

[0055] Among them, the basic water quality parameters are characteristic indicators of various substances in water used to represent the quality and trend of water environment. In the embodiments of this invention, they mainly include data such as cross-sectional water sample temperature, pH, temperature, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, suspended solids concentration, chlorophyll, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus.

[0056] The three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum mainly consists of fluorescence peaks, fluorescence patterns, and fluorescence indices. The fluorescence index includes: the fluorescence index (FI), defined as the ratio of the fluorescence emission spectrum intensity at 470 nm to 520 nm when the laser wavelength is 370 nm (FI = F470 / F520). This ratio reflects the relative contribution of aromatic amino acids and non-aromatic substances to the fluorescence intensity of dissolved organic matter, and thus can serve as an indicator of the source of substances and the degree of degradation of dissolved organic matter; the humification index (HIX), defined as the quotient of the integral values ​​of the fluorescence peak values ​​between 435~480 nm and 300~345 nm at a 254 nm laser wavelength (F435~480 / F300~345), with a higher HIX index indicating a higher degree of humification of dissolved organic matter; and the biogenic index (BIX), defined as the index of the biogenic source at an excitation wavelength of 310 nm. The ratio of fluorescence intensity at 380 nm and 430 nm (BIX=F380 / F430) is used to estimate the relative contribution of endogenous substances to dissolved organic matter. The freshness index (β:α) is defined as the ratio of fluorescence intensity at 380 nm to fluorescence intensity in the 420-435 nm range when the excitation wavelength is 310 nm. It reflects the proportion of newly generated dissolved organic matter in the total dissolved organic matter and is an important basis for assessing the biological activity of aquatic bodies.

[0057] Among them, VOCs in water, namely volatile organic compounds, are mainly divided into eight types: aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and some other compounds.

[0058] Based on the information of various pollution sources and the sources of pollutants investigated, characteristic pollutants are further subdivided into industry-specific pollutants from industrial pollution sources, agricultural pollution sources, and urban pollution sources. Industry-specific pollutants refer to the representative portion of pollutants emitted by a certain industry, which can show the pollution level of the industry. Generally, they can be understood in terms of quantity as pollutants emitted in larger quantities.

[0059] For example, industrial pollution sources are classified into key pollution sources and general pollution sources according to their scale, emission characteristics, and discharge volume. Key pollution sources include: 1. All industrial activity units that generate heavy metals, hazardous waste, and radioactive substances, such as food manufacturing, petroleum processing, chemical manufacturing, metal smelting, agricultural and sideline product processing, textiles, leather products, papermaking, metal mineral manufacturing, and power and heat production and supply; 2. All industrial activity units involved in heavily polluting industries, such as coal mining and washing, medical manufacturing, chemical fiber manufacturing, oil and gas extraction, beverage manufacturing, wood processing manufacturing, and electronic equipment manufacturing; 3. All industrial activity units above a certain scale in key industries, such as industries involving electroplating, smelting, and painting processes. Agricultural pollution sources mainly include: 1. Planting industry pollution sources, mainly targeting major production areas of grain crops, cash crops, and vegetable crops, including pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural films, and straw; 2. Livestock farming pollution sources, targeting pollutants such as manure produced by farmers raising pigs, dairy cows, laying hens, and broilers; 3. Aquaculture pollution sources, mainly pollutants such as feed, fish medicine, and fertilizers from fish, shrimp, and crabs raised on a large scale.

[0060] For example, electroplating and thermal power plants are both sources of industrial pollution. Wastewater from electroplating mainly contains heavy metals such as chromium, cadmium, nickel, and copper ions, acids and alkalis, cyanides, and various electroplating additives. The flue gas emitted by thermal power plants during coal combustion contains pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and dust. Agricultural pollution sources are mainly caused by the use of fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural production. For example, nitrogen and phosphorus compounds from fertilizers can flow into water bodies, causing eutrophication. Pesticide pollution mainly includes organochlorine pesticide pollution, organophosphorus pesticide pollution, and organonitrogen pesticide pollution. Domestic pollution sources are mainly caused by domestic wastewater discharged from urban and rural areas, which mainly contains organic matter, synthetic detergents and chlorides, as well as pathogens, viruses, and parasite eggs.

[0061] Taking the electroplating industry, a source of industrial pollution, as an example, the electroplating process includes pretreatment, electroplating, and post-treatment. Taking zinc plating as an example, the first step, pretreatment, generates organic pollutants in the degreasing and pickling / activation stages. Pollutants that may be present during degreasing include: 1. Surfactants, with solvents containing gasoline, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, etc.; 2. Water softeners containing organic carboxylates, organic polyphosphonates, etc. Pollutants that may be present during pickling / activation include corrosion inhibitors, such as pyridine, hexamethylenetetramine, di-o-tolyl thiourea, propylene sulfonate, and cationic surfactants. The second step, electroplating, may generate organic pollutants including: 1. Cyanide, with main brighteners containing formaldehyde, fenaldehyde, coumarin, salicylic acid, furfural, benzyl acetone, o-chlorobenzaldehyde, etc.; 2. Carrier brighteners containing dextrin, triethylenetetramine, and epoxy amine condensates, etc.; 3. Auxiliary brighteners containing pyridine, quinoline, chloromethylbenzene, and ethylene oxide, etc. The third step of the post-treatment process involves the generation of organic pollutants during passivation, anti-discoloration, and stripping. Organic pollutants generated during passivation include: 1. Chromate passivating agents containing sodium formate and glacial acetic acid, while chromium-free organic passivating agents contain diaminotriazine, tannic acid, acrylic resin, benzotriazine, and citric acid; 2. Pollutants that may be generated during the anti-discoloration stage include ethyl acetate, epoxy resin, melamine, phenolic resin, vinyl resin, silicone resin, fluoropolymer, and paraffin; 3. Organic pollutants that may be generated during the stripping stage include surfactants, sodium m-nitrobenzenesulfonate, aminotriacetic acid, glycerol, triethanolamine, hexamethylenetetramine, and citric acid. The heavy metals that may be generated during electroplating depend on the company's business operations; commonly found heavy metals in electroplating include zinc, copper, nickel, and chromium.

[0062] Heavy metals are mainly divided into three categories: the first category is traditional heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and other metals; the second category is metals commonly found in industries such as electroplating and smelting, such as zinc, copper, chromium, nickel and other metals; and the third category is heavy metals commonly found in soil, such as aluminum, iron, titanium, thallium, manganese and other metals.

[0063] Toxic organic pollutants refer to organic substances that can cause human poisoning or environmental pollution. Although their concentration in water is not high, they have a long residual time in water bodies and are cumulative. For example, organochlorine pesticides are characterized by high toxicity, stable chemical properties, long residual time, easy solubility in fats, and strong accumulation in aquatic organisms. Their concentration can reach hundreds of thousands of times that in water, affecting not only the reproduction of aquatic organisms but also harming human health through the food chain. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are highly toxic, highly fat-soluble, easily absorbed by organisms, and chemically stable. They are used to make insulating oils, lubricants, additives, etc., and mainly come from the plastics, resins, and rubber industries. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) mainly come from environmental pollution caused by crude oil and petroleum, such as waste oil discharged into the ocean through rivers, ship discharges and accidental oil spills, and offshore oil field leaks and blowouts. There are also nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing organic compounds mainly from domestic and agricultural pollution, which often lead to eutrophication and river pollution.

[0064] Step 105: Screen and calculate the water samples from the river section based on the multi-level fingerprint database to obtain the source tracing results.

[0065] After constructing a multi-level fingerprint database, water quality monitoring is conducted. Water samples are collected from river sections using an online automatic water sampler. First, a water pump transports the samples to a conventional water quality parameter instrument for testing. After testing, the data is transmitted to a cloud platform. The cloud platform processes the data and compares it with the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard." If all data items meet the standard, no warning is needed. If any data item does not meet the standard, a warning is issued. For example, according to the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard," the pH value standard for surface water is 6 to 9. If the detected pH value is less than 6 or greater than 9, a warning is required.

[0066] The water sample, after being tested by conventional water quality parameters, is then pumped to a three-dimensional fluorescence tracer to analyze the industry characteristics of the water sample. Based on these industry characteristics, industry-specific pollutants are identified, and the presence of suspected pollution sources is determined. If no suspected pollution source is found, the sample is returned to the river section for further analysis. If a suspected pollution source is found, the analysis proceeds to the next step.

[0067] When a suspected source of pollution is found, the water sample that has passed through the three-dimensional fluorescence tracer is transferred to a portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrument via a water pump. The GC-MS instrument detects industry-specific pollutants and then transmits the data to the cloud platform. This is the on-site operational stage.

[0068] The water sampler stores some of the collected water samples in a storage tank. When the operator takes the water samples from the tank to the laboratory, the water samples are first filtered. A portion of the water samples are sent to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer to detect the heavy metal index. Another portion of the water samples undergoes solid-phase extraction and vacuum concentration before being sent to a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) instrument for detection based on industry-specific pollutants. Finally, the obtained fingerprint index values ​​are transmitted to a cloud platform. Combined with the surveyed water quality and hydrological data, the water quality early warning model calculates the VOCs, heavy metals, and toxic organic pollutants data obtained earlier to determine whether the results exceed the set threshold. If the results do not exceed the threshold, river water quality monitoring continues. If the results exceed the threshold, an early warning and source tracing are initiated. The multi-level fingerprint database is constructed to quickly trace and locate the pollution source.

[0069] The setting of thresholds involves two aspects. Firstly, thresholds are determined by relevant standards and regulations, such as the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard," the "Urban Wastewater Treatment Plant Pollutant Discharge Standard," and the "Textile Dyeing and Finishing Industry Water Pollutant Discharge Standard." Secondly, for indicators not covered by these standards and regulations, thresholds are set using historical data of river section water quality indicators and monitoring data over a longer period. Large amounts of data will form certain structures and patterns, allowing for the creation of corresponding data models, such as standard constraint models, statistical constraint models, trend change models, and probability density models, to derive the thresholds. For example, assuming the river section water quality is Class IV, according to the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard," the zinc threshold should be set at 2.0 ng / L. If this standard is exceeded, an early warning and source tracing will be initiated. For indicators not covered by the standards, such as atrazine, based on long-term river monitoring data and model calculations, the threshold is set at 200 ng / L. If this threshold is exceeded, an early warning and source tracing will be initiated.

[0070] This analysis incorporates collected water quality and hydrological data. Regarding water quality, conventional water quality parameters respond to different pollutants, exhibiting varying response characteristics and correlations. For example, temperature is a physical indicator of water quality, affecting oxygen solubility and aquatic biological activity. pH is a crucial indicator of acid, alkali, and heavy metal pollution; sudden pollution incidents are often accompanied by abnormal pH changes. Conductivity reflects the concentration of dissociated ions in water; abnormal conductivity may be related to industrial wastewater containing heavy metal ions. Hydrological parameters include background river water quality (concentrations of pollutants in the river), the river's water standard classification, flow rate, and rainfall data from the city.

[0071] The water quality early warning models are divided into mutation-type early warning models and gradual change-type early warning models. Mutation-type water quality early warning models include fixed threshold early warning models, dynamic threshold early warning models, multi-factor collaborative mutation early warning models, and rare data combination early warning models; gradual change-type water quality early warning models include data continuous deterioration early warning models, data relationship change early warning models, water quality trend prediction early warning models, and prediction deviation early warning models. The water quality early warning model is selected according to the actual situation, and the selection of water quality early warning models is not limited in this embodiment of the invention.

[0072] The data from routine water quality instrument testing include cross-sectional water sample temperature, pH, temperature, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, suspended solids concentration, chlorophyll, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus.

[0073] Source tracing, specifically water pollution source tracing, aims to quickly identify the source of pollutants when water quality exceeds standards, using model systems engineering to take timely measures. By densely deploying monitoring sections and combining them with water quality models, and leveraging the different types and concentrations of pollutants, a pollution source fingerprint database is constructed using water quality spectrometry analysis technology. This database includes sewage outlets, wastewater treatment plants, and related enterprises within the watershed. By mapping the water quality spectrometry characteristics of the monitoring sections one-to-one with the fingerprint characteristics in the database, pollution sources can be accurately and quickly identified. Water quality fingerprint comparison allows for rapid pollution early warning and source location.

[0074] Among them, cloud platforms refer to cloud platforms that can store and process data, including water quality models that can be calculated, such as the existing smart water quality environment monitoring cloud platforms in China and the online monitoring and early warning system of the Pearl River Basin.

[0075] Solid-phase extraction is a physical extraction process that involves both liquid and solid phases. It is based on liquid-solid chromatography and uses selective adsorption and selective elution to enrich, separate, and purify samples. Vacuum concentration refers to the process where, under the induction of secondary steam and the suction of the high vacuum of the separator, the concentrated material and secondary steam enter the separator at a relatively high speed along the tangential direction.

[0076] To improve accuracy and reduce false alarms, it is usually necessary to test and judge several consecutive sets of collected water samples. The specific number of water samples is determined by the actual situation. For example, it can be three sets, five sets, or ten sets. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the number of sets.

[0077] To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, it is necessary to identify outliers in the uploaded data, promptly detect and clean the data, and provide an accurate and effective data foundation for water quality early warning. Data anomalies are determined through the following aspects: First, the operating status of the monitoring instrument; data anomalies usually occur when the monitoring instrument experiences power outages, pump malfunctions, or other abnormalities. Second, the monitoring data itself; data anomalies are usually indicated when the data exceeds the instrument's range or when pollutant concentrations are negative. Third, the monitoring data remains unchanged for an extended period; while water quality fluctuates normally, data anomalies are usually indicated if the water quality values ​​remain unchanged over multiple periods. Fourth, the monitoring data exhibits drastic fluctuations. The fluctuation range of the monitoring data can be set based on the river section water quality data; this range should be significantly larger than the daily fluctuation range of the river section, and the specific setting is determined according to the river section conditions. This embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations on this. The valid data after anomaly detection and data cleaning will be used in the calculation and judgment of the water quality model.

[0078] The following detailed examples illustrate the implementation and application of the multi-level fingerprint map construction method for river cross-sections provided in this invention in a specific river basin. The specific implementation steps are as follows: Figure 4 :

[0079] 1. First, collect information on the river's water environment, such as conducting on-site surveys and interviewing relevant personnel. Then, collect information on the polluting enterprises. Before conducting on-site investigations of pollution sources, collect data to understand the basic situation of the pollution sources, such as their location, discharge methods, and subsequent wastewater treatment, to determine the discharge of each pollution source and its specific impact on the surrounding environment. During on-site surveys, you can directly visit and record monitoring data, or you can use drones to obtain specific information about pollution sources from the air, to gain a more comprehensive and clear understanding of the impact of pollution sources on the environment.

[0080] 2. Then, a multi-level fingerprint spectrum is constructed. Water samples are collected daily at set times using an online timed water sampling device, with a sampling interval of 12 hours. Samples are collected from various pollution sources along the river cross-section. When the online timed control panel of the sampling device receives a collection signal, the water pump is activated to collect the river cross-section water sample into a sedimentation tank. After settling for half an hour, the sample is transferred to various storage tanks. The water sample is then pumped to conventional index testing instruments to detect basic water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, suspended solids concentration, chlorophyll, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus to determine the primary fingerprint spectrum. Finally, the water sample is pumped to a three-dimensional fluorescence tracer to generate a three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum to determine the secondary fingerprint spectrum. The fingerprint spectrum was generated, and then the VOCs in the water were detected by portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine the tertiary fingerprint spectrum. Then, water samples from some storage tanks were taken to the laboratory for analysis. After filtration, a portion of the water samples were directly sent to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to generate a heavy metal spectrum, while the other portion of the water samples were subjected to solid-phase extraction and vacuum concentration before being sent to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to generate a toxic organic pollutant spectrum. The heavy metal spectrum and the toxic organic pollutant spectrum determined the quaternary fingerprint spectrum. The five spectrum databases together constitute the multi-level fingerprint spectrum of a river section of a pollution source. The multi-level fingerprint spectra of all pollution sources in a river basin constitute the multi-level fingerprint spectrum database of the target river.

[0081] 3. Finally, after the multi-level fingerprint database is completed, the monitoring of water quality at river sections is initiated. In rivers requiring water quality monitoring, online timed water sampling equipment is used to collect water samples daily, set to collect samples every 12 hours. When river pollution is detected, the online water sampling device can collect water samples from the river section at the pollution site in real time. First, the water pump transports the water sample to a conventional water quality parameter instrument for testing. After testing, the data is transmitted to a cloud platform, where a water quality model is used to process the data. The obtained data is compared with the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard," and an early warning is issued for any data items that do not meet the standard. Then, the water sample is pumped to a three-dimensional fluorescence tracer to analyze the industry characteristics of the water sample. Based on the industry characteristics, industry-specific pollutants are screened out, and the presence of suspected pollution sources is determined. If no pollution source is found, the water sample is returned to the river section for collection. If a pollution source is found, the next step of analysis is performed. When a suspected pollution source is found, the water sample is pumped to a portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrument. The GC-MS instrument detects industry-specific pollutants, and the data is then transmitted to the cloud platform. The above is the on-site operational stage. The water sampler stores a portion of the collected water in a tank. When the operator takes the water sample from the tank to the laboratory, the sample is first filtered. A portion of the sample is sent to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) to detect heavy metal indices. Another portion of the sample undergoes solid-phase extraction and vacuum concentration before being sent to a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system for detection based on industry-specific pollutants. Finally, the resulting fingerprint index values ​​are transmitted to a cloud platform. Combined with the surveyed water quality and hydrological data, the water quality early warning model calculates the VOCs, heavy metals, and toxic organic pollutants data to determine if the results exceed set thresholds. If the results do not exceed the set thresholds, river water quality monitoring continues. If the results exceed the set thresholds, an early warning and source tracing mechanism is activated. The multi-level fingerprint database is used to quickly locate the pollution source.

[0082] In summary, the multi-level fingerprint map construction method for river cross-sections according to embodiments of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0083] 1. This method uses an online automatic water sampling device, which solves the problems of large workload, high labor costs and low efficiency when collecting water samples, thus reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0084] 2. This method employs a multi-level fingerprint mapping approach, which significantly reduces the workload of early warning and source tracing for river sections. It enables timely acquisition of real-time data on river sections, rapid and accurate selection and analysis of key pollutants, and timely control and early warning of toxic and harmful pollutants.
