Maybe rain could serve as an indicator of beach storm drain environmental pollution levels when you test for pH. chorine, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, iron, and copper chemicals floating down the city storm drains. A cleaner shoreline and ocean science project worth swallowing, if it is safe to swim in!

"Biodegradable" products may or may not mean that you can compost for your earth-friendly garden, so environmental science fair projects about biodegradable picnic wear show how Polylactic acid (PLA) biodegradable knives, spoons, forks, and cups can be composted, as opposed to oil- or petroleum-based landfill waste.

Curious young scientist find that environmental science fair projects about bioremediation will have a lasting effect on the riparian habitats (in rivers). Downstream vs. upstream levels of contaminants such as chlorine, pH, nitrates, turbidity, nitrites, chloride, phosphates, iron, ammonia, copper, lead and deadly chromium will show how creeks clean the environment.

California wetland habitats are disappearing! This is an easy science project about the danger of E. coli, nitrates, nitrites, coliform levels, pH, chlorides, ammonia, phosphates, chlorine, and water hardness on the dissolved oxygen level and biochemical oxygen demand of migratory ducks and other animals living in the pond environment.

In the science fair projects about car washing, young students in elementary school can combat the environmental impact of soap suds and washing cars on the quality of water entering the rivers, lakes, and oceans by taking a conservational approach.

Carbon dioxide is a large part of out environment, as this science fair project about CO2 in the ocean shows. Some algae grow differently in different pH levels, just as light, temperature, and nutrients affect the aquatic growth of Nannochloropsis.

When nitrates concentrate in the environment, dead-zones .accumulate where algal blooms reduce oxygen levels below 2 ppm in the ocean. This science fair project makes a quick idea for marine life studies where fertilizers on land are pitted against Chara vulgaris algae growth in the oceans.

E.Coli and Enterococci are bacteria that are environmental indicators of fecal matter. By comparing the sand from the intertidal zone of beaches, some enclosed and some open, students can discover whether sand is an incubator of harmful bacteria.

During a drought, the oxygen levels of streams and rivers can change. In the environmental science fair projects about Hensley Creek, students can observe oxygen, nitrate, and nitrite levels to see what the health of the water is in local creeks.

As urban human areas grow, more lights are used at night. The environmental science fair projects about light pollution takes the scientific position that this cityglow from individual city light sources causes skyglow which has a higher luminosity than natural moonlight.

If your tap water has copper or other metals in it, environmental science fair projects about metals in water looks into how reverse osmosis, deionization, and carbon filtration systems can affect dissolved metals, and thus the health and government regulation of people using copper pipes in their homes.

Our wetlands need help cleaning them up, especially environmental problems like nitrates in this science fair project. If pond and creek water is polluted and we don't clean it up, sensitive marine creatures in our oceans will die!

In the environmental science fair project about plastic sun exposure for young students, we look into how Bisphenol A (BPA) in plastics can leach into water when plastic bottles are left in the sun to heat up.

Granite inside homes ia a source for the environmental pollutant radon gas, in this science fair project with a look at how the EPA recommends allowable levels of ionizing radiation. Since so many people get cancer from this hazardous gas, it is good to learn how much of it is harmful to health.

An environmental science fair project about tide heights will show that bacteria levels during different tide levels on a beach can change daily.

Landfills are designed to allow biodegradable materials to decompose in the sugarcane vs tree paper product science fair projects. The interesting idea is to see if Eco Products will be able to affect the landfill layers with drainage, geotextile membrane, leach collection systems, and garbage.
