Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.

Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light

FORMS OF POLLUTION
AIR POLLUTION
LIGHT POLLUTION NOISE POLLUTION

LAND POLLUTION
WATER POLLUTION THERMAL POLLUTION VISUAL POLLUTION

EFFECTS OF POLLUTION

Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including

humans. Ozone pollution can cause respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, throat inflammation, chest pain, and congestion.
Water pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths

per day, mostly due to contamination of drinking water by untreated sewage in developing countries.
Pollution has been found to be present widely in the

environment. There are a number of effects are green house, global warming, ocean acidification.

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 cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere. Mainly sulphur oxide, nitrogen oxide, Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,

Land Pollution
Land pollution is the demolition 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.

CONTENTS OF LAND POLLUTION


Increased mechanization
Pesticides and herbicides

Minining
Increased waste disposal Industrial waste

Water Pollution
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into

water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.


Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water.

Noise Pollution
Noise pollution is excessive, displeasing human,

animal, or machine-created environmental noise that disrupts the activity or balance of human or animal life.
The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly

construction and transportation systems, including motor vehicle noise, aircraft noise, and rail noise.

Effects Of Noise Pollution


Noise health effects describe problems in both health

and behavior. Unwanted sound (noise) can damage physiological and psychological health. Noise pollution can cause annoyance and aggression, hypertension, high stress levels.

Wildlife health
Noise can have a detrimental effect on animals, increasing the risk of death by changing the delicate balance in predator or prey detection and avoidance, and interfering the use of the sounds in communication especially in relation to reproduction and in navigation. Acoustic overexposure can lead to temporary or permanent loss of hearing.
