PREPARED
FOR

ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION

DEFINITION OF POLLUTION

When Harmful Substances

Contaminate the Environment it is

Called Pollution.

Types of Pollution
There are Five types of Pollution
Air Pollution
Water Pollution
Noise Pollution
Land Pollution
Radio Active Pollution

AIR POLLUTION
Atmosphere is the life blanket of Earth.
It is therefore essential that we know more about the

atmosphere and the ways in which it is Polluted.

Causes of Air Pollution

Major sources of Air Pollution
-Automobiles and Domestic fuels
-Industries
-Pesticides and Fertilizer
-Radioactive Fallout
-Mining Operations

Effects of Air Pollution

Air Pollution affects???
Human health
Animals
Plants
The atmosphere as a whole

How to Prevent Air Pollution

Yes, we can avoid pollution As Follows

Vehicle Care
Alternative Energy Sources
Minimize Air Pollutants
Recyclable Materials
Smart Purchasing

Water Gods Valuable Gift

Water Pollution

Water pollution is the

contamination of water bodies. It
occurs when pollutants are
discharged into water

Causes of Water Pollution

Agricultural runoff
Strom water runoff
Leaking sewer lines
Illegal discharge of waste
Burning of fossil fuels

Water Pollution Pictures

Effects of Water Pollution

Contaminated ground water
Fertilizers and other
Agricultural effects
Effects of thermal water pollution
Effects of heavy metal

How to Prevent Water Pollution

Rivers should not be used for washing clothes

or bathing animals in.

Harvesting of Rainwater to meet water
requirements.
Dams &embankments must be created.
The rivers must not be contaminated.
In sacred river like Ganga the dead bodies
shouldnt thrown.

Noise Pollution
Noise can be simply defined as

unwanted sound which is released

into the environment

Causes of Noise Pollution

Traffic Noise

Noise from construction works

Industrial noise

Household equipment

See what is this?

Picture shows :

Noise Pollution

Effects of Noise Pollution

Decreasing working efficiency

Human health
Vegetation

Animals
Constructions

How to Prevent Noise Pollution

Control of noise pollution at source
Maintaining low volume

Avoid excessive use of loud speaker

Forming laws

Soundproof construction
Planting trees

Definition of Land Pollution

Land pollution is the demolition
of earths land surfaces and
breaking down of lands natural
structure

Causes of Land Pollution

Human action
Misuse of land

Inefficient use of land

Destruction of topmost layer

Deforestation

Land pollution pictures

Effects of Land Pollution

Effects on climate
Extinction of species

Biomagnifications
Effects on biodiversity

Ways to prevent Land Pollution

Recycling and reuse

Biodegradable products
Grow more trees
Efficient use of resources

Definition of Radio Active Pollution

It is the release of radio active

material into the environment

Causes of Radio Active Pollution

Production of nuclear weapons
Decommissioning of nuclear weapons
Mining of radioactive ore

Medical waste
Nuclear power plants

Effects of Radio Active Pollution

Contaminated soil and plants
Cancer
Brain damage

Ways to Prevent
Radio Active Pollution
Avoid Constructing Nuclear Power Plants
Avoid Using Nuclear Weapon
Have Proper Treatment for Nuclear Waste
Avoid mining for Uranium to a minimal

Conclusion
It is high time that everyone
contributes a bit to prevent
release of pollutants into the
environment
