5. Definition of pollution
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into a natural
environment that causes instability,disorder,harm or discomfort to
the ecosystem .
Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy such
as noise, heat or light.
7. What is air pollution
Air pollution is the introduction of
chemicals, particulate matter, or
biological materials that cause harm
or discomfort to humans or other
living organisms, or damages the
natural environment into the
atmosphere. The atmosphere is a
complex dynamic natural gaseous
system that is essential to support
life on planet Earth. Stratospheric
ozone depletion due to air pollution
has long been recognized as a threat
to human health as well as to the
Earth's ecosystems.
8. CAUSES OF AIR POLLUTION
Industries.
Automobiles and Domestic fuels
High Proportion of undesirable gases,such as
sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide
9. EFFECT OF AIR POLLUTION
Air Pollution affects???
Human health
Animals
Plants
The atmosphere as a
whole
10. How to prevent air pollution
Carpool
Walk or ride a bicycle
Connect your outdoor lights to a
timer or use solar lighting.
Wash clothes with warm or cold
water instead of hot.
Plant trees etc…….
12. What is water pollution
Water pollution is the contamination of water
bodies. E.g. lakes, rivers, oceans,
groundwater. Water pollution affects plants
and organisms living in these bodies of water;
and, in almost all cases the effect is damaging
either to individual species and populations,
but also to the natural biological communities.
Water pollution occurs when pollutants are
discharged directly or indirectly into water
bodies without adequate treatment to remove
harmful compounds.
13. Causes of Water Pollution
About 40% of Deaths worldwide are
caused by Water Pollution.
Water Pollution is Caused by organsic
and inorganic industrial wastes and
affluents discharged into rivers.
14. Effects of Water Pollution
Diseases like Cholera
Malaria
Typhoid (spread during the rainy season )
Aquatic life gets destroyed
15. How to prevent water pollution
Rivers should not be used for
washing clothes or bathing
animals in.
Dams should be created.
In sacred rivers like Ganga dead
bodies shouldn’t be thrown.
17. NOISE POLLUTION
Noise pollution is displeasing human, animal
or machine-created sound that disrupts the
activity or balance of human or animal life. The
word noise comes from the Latin word nausea
meaning seasickness. The source of most
outdoor noise worldwide is transportation
systems, including motor vehicle noise, aircraft
noise and rail noise. Poor urban planning may
give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side
industrial and residential buildings can result in
noise pollution in the residential area.
18. Causes of Noise Pollution
Traffic Noise
Air craft Noise
Noise from construction and civil
engineering works.
Noise from the Industries.
Noise from other sources.
19. Effects of Noise Pollution
Hearing Loss
High Blood Pressure
Stress
Sleep Disturbance
Color Blindness
20. How to prevent noise pollution
The government should ensure
the new machines are noise
proof.
Airports should be away from
residential areas.
‘No horn’ boards should be put
on/near school areas.
We should talk less and work
more.
22. LAND POLLUTION
Land pollution is the degradation of
Earth's land surfaces often caused by
human activities and their misuse of land
resources. It occurs when waste is not
disposed properly. Health hazard disposal
of urban and industrial wastes, exploitation
of minerals, and improper use of soil by
inadequate agricultural practices are a few
factors. Urbanization and industrialization
are major causes of land pollution.
23. Causes of Land Pollution
Throwing garbage
Construction
Waste
Industrial waste
Mining
24. Effects of Land Pollution
Agriculture
Littering
Climate
Biodiversity
25. How to prevent land pollution
More and more land should be
brought under farming.
Trees should be planted everywhere.
Waste matter should be disposed
immediately
Avoid drilling lands for underground
water.
Avoid using fertilizer and pesticides
for farming.
