POLLUTION

Pollution is an undesirable change in the physical,

chemical or biological characteristics of air, water and
soil.

TYPES OF POLLUTION

Land pollution
Air pollution Water pollution
 AIR POLLUTION

Addition of any unwanted substances occurred in the air, then it is

called air pollution

CAUSES

URBANISATION INDUSTRIALISATION AUTOMOBILES

 EFFECT OF URBANISATION
• Malaria and dengue fever are two of the
common diseases spreading as a result of
urbanization

• Harmful gases due to waste material causes

many diseases such as bronchitis,
pneumonia
 EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION

• Uncontrolled cutting of trees result in increase

in carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere

• Respiratory system of effected by cancer,

asthma
 EFFECT OF AUTOMOBILE POLLUTION

• Impair the body’s immune system

• Reduce the release of oxygen to
body tissues
• Increase a person’s risk of cancer-
related death
• Contribute to birth defects, low birth
weight, and infant deaths
• Harm blood vessels in healthy
individuals
 Water pollution

When any undesirable substance mixes with water

it become contaminated this results in water pollution

Sources of water pollution

Compounds of calcium and

magnesium ,microorganisms, oils
heavy metals, detergents, domestic
water, pesticides, fertilizers.
industrial water and radioactive
waters, etc are commonly found in
polluted water
Harmful effects of water pollution

1 Mercury, cadmium, cobalt and

other impurities dissolved in
water causes Diarrhea

2 Water pollution is responsible

for death of microorganisms
and fisher

3 Depletion of oxygen content in

water, mostly due to speeding
of oil spills on surface of water,
affects respiration in
organisms
 Prevention and Control of Water pollution
1 Sewage Treatment
• Sewage should be converted into useful
organic waste before being discharged
into water bodies
• Sewage water is mixed with air and
bacteria which digest organic waste.
• The water free form microorganism it is
treated by various methods lick
chlorination, evaporation, exchange and
absorption
2 Oxidation pond
• National Environment, Engineering
Research Institute Nagpur development a
method
• By which polluted water is treated
• The polluted water is stored in a sallow
pond which is called oxidation pond
 Land Pollution
• Land pollution is defined as the
build-up in soils of persistent toxic
compounds, chemicals, salts,
radioactive materials, or disease
causing agents, which have
adverse effects on plant growth
and animal health.
 Harmful effects of Land pollution

• Land pollution can affect wildlife, plants,

and humans in a number of ways, such
as:
• Cause problems in the respiratory
system
• Cause problems on the skin
• Lead to birth defects
• Cause various kinds of cancers
