This document discusses different types of pollution including air, water, noise, and soil pollution. It provides details on the causes and effects of each type of pollution. Some key effects mentioned are global warming, respiratory illnesses from air pollution, and diseases spread through contaminated water. The document also outlines several Philippine laws aimed at pollution control, including the Pollution Control Law, Clean Air Act, and various laws protecting forests, fisheries, coral reefs, and water resources.

1. POLLUTION
Made By: Jill Anne M. Domingo

2. Pollution
• Any alteration of the physical, chemical and
biological properties of water, air, and/or land
resources.
• When harmful substances contaminate the
environment, it is called pollution.
• Refers to the very bad condition of
environment in terms of quantity and quality.

3. A Broader View of Pollution

4. Types of Pollution
• Air Pollution
• Water Pollution
• Noise Pollution
• Soil Pollution

5. AIR POLLUTION

6. Air Pollution
• Any alteration of the physical, chemical and
biological properties of the atmospheric air.

7. Causes of Air Pollution
• Industries.
• Automobiles and Domestic fuels.
• High Proportion of undesirable gases, such as sulphur
dioxide and carbonmonoxide.
• Dust(e.g. cement dust, foundry dust and windblown solid
dust)
• Mist.
• Smoke.
• Carbon black.
• Aerosols.

8. Effects of Air Pollution
• Global warming.
• Ozone depletion(Ozonehole).
• Acid Rain.
• Various respiratory illnesses.

10. WATER POLLUTION

11. C1auses of Water Pollution
• Sewage and wastewater.
• Marine dumping
• Industrial waste
• Radioactive waste
• Oil pollution
• Underground storage leakage
• Atmospheric deposition
• Global warming
• Eutrophication

12. Water Pollution
• Any alteration of the physical, chemical, biological
or radiological properties of a body of water
resulting in the impairment of its purity or quality.

13. Effects of Water Pollution
• Diseases like Cholera.
• Malaria.
• Typhoid (spread during the rainyseason).
• Aquatic life gets destroy.

15. NOISE POLLUTION

16. Noise Pollution
• is the excessive sound that causes hearing loss,
stress, fatigue, irritability, tension, headaches,
and high blood pressure.

17. Causes of Noise Pollution
• Traffic Noise.
• Aircraft Noise.
• Noise from construction and civil engineering
works.
• Noise from theIndustries.
• Noise from othersources.

18. Effects of Noise Pollution
• Hearing loss
• High blood pressure.
• Stress.
• Sleep disturbance.
• Color blindness.

19. SOIL POLLUTION

20. Soil Pollution
• is chiefly caused by chemicals in pesticides,
such as poisons that are used to kill agricultural
pests like insects and herbicides that are used to
get rid of weeds.
• Soil pollution results from:
- Unhealthy methods of soil management.
- Harmful irrigation methods.

21. Causes of Soil Pollution
•Mining, Erosion and quarrying.
•Household Garbage.
•Urbanization and Concentration of Population.
•Municipal Solid Waste.
•Industrial Waste and HazardousWaste.
•Uncontrolled Land Treatment.
•Burning open dumps and forestfires.
•Deforestation.

22. Effects of Soil Pollution
•The Land Cannot use to buildhouses.
•Man cannot befarming.
•Ground water will getsAffected.
•Death of the animals that inhabit the land

24. EFFECTS OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

25. Effects of The Environmental Problems
Deforestation
• Soil erosion
• Landslides
• Greenhouse effect
• Denuded upland
• Silting of rivers and dams
• Degraded watershed
• Flooding
• Destruction of corals along the coast

26. Effects of The Environmental Problems
Flash Floods
• Causes of diseases such as Cholera and other
water borne diseases
• Loss of life
• Contamination of drinking water
• Destruction of Sewage System
• Destruction of dams and destruction of levees

27. Effects of The Environmental Problems
Soil Erosion
• Unproductive use of farmland
• Difficulty in raising livestock
• Silting of artificial lakes
• Loss of soil vegetation which causes climate
changes

28. Effects of The Environmental Problems
Oil Spill
• Suffocation of marine animals
• Death of trees from oil in roots.

29. Effects of The Environmental Problems
Coral Reef Degradation
• Loss of edible reef fish
• Reduction of species diversity and richness
• Alteration in the size structure of target
• species

30. Effects of The Environmental Problems
Illegal Mining
• Water poisoning of all the living things in it
• Destruction of beautiful coral reefs
• Barrenness of land
