WHAT IS ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION
ENVIORNMENT POLLUTION MEANS FOULING THE NATURAL
HABITAT AND ENVIORNMENT MAN’S MOST DESTRUCTIVE
ENEMY IS MAN HIMSELF BECAUSE HE POLLUTES THE
ENVIORNMENT IN WHICH HE LIVES
ALTHOUGH SOME ENVIORNMENTAL POLLUTION IS A
RESULT
OF NATURAL CAUSES SUCH AS VALCANIC ERUPTIONM
MOST IS CAUSED BY HUMAN ACTIVITIES
TYPES OF POLLUTION

 AIRPOLLUTION
 WATER POLLUTION
 NOISE POLLUTION
 SOIL POLLUTION
AIR POLLUTION
 Volcanoes also cause air pollution.
 Air we breathe becomes polluted in various ways.
Fuel used for cooking giving rise to SO2 ,CO2,
etc.Motor vehicles , power plants also emit CO2, CO,
NO, SO2 etc.
 Presence of SO2 and NO in atmosphere causes acid
rain.Oxides of N2,CO and chloroform carbons cause
depletion of ozone layer.
AIR POLLUTION
 EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

These pollutants cause major health problems like

damage to respiratory system.
These pollutants lead to suffocation and even death.
Acid rain damages crop plants,trees,buildings
and monuments,statues and metal structure
and makes soil acidic.
Air Pollution causes depletion of ozone layer
which leads to skin cancer and eye ailments.
 PREVENTIVE MEASURES OF AIR
POLLUTION

People should use smokeless chullahs

Smokeless chimneys should also be used in
factories.
Electrostatic precipitators must be used to remove
dust particles from smoke.
Tree plantation should be more and
more.Deforestation should be checked to minimize
air pollution.
 WATER POLLUTION

The problem of water pollution is violent in

urban areas.Waste materials are added
from reactors,laboratories and hospitals into
water.Water is also polluted by domestic
waste from cities and towns.Pesticides and
insecticides and is polluted.
also add into water
WATER POLLUTION
INDUSTRIAL WASTE
 EFFECTS OF WATER POLLUTION
Water Pollution causes diseases like cholera,
typhoid,intestinal infection,hepatitis etc.Effects
of pesticides on human beings is very harmful.
There is higher blood pressure,malfunctioning of
the liver.
 PREVENTIVE MEASURES
OF WATER POLLUTION

1.Sewage should be suitably discharged into river.

Industrial waste should be treated chemically to
neutralize the harmful substances.
Waste paper,plastics, waste food materials and
rotting materials should not thrown into water.
Solid wastes containing organic matter should not
be thrown into water.
 NOISE POLLUTION
The disturbance produced in our
environmen t by the undesirable loud
sounds of various kinds is called noise
pollution.Due to machinery,vehicles and
due to mechanized society noise pollution
has become a great problem.
 EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION

Environmental noise leads to

headaches,fatigue,blood pressure and
abnormal heart beats. It also seriously
affects the foetus in a woman's womb
 PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF
NOISE POLLUTION

A draped toy,a blaring television set, a

police siren ,a tingling telephone, a
sudden truck noise might propel a
neurotic to minor violence.People,who
lived near deafening London Airport
were admitted to mental hospital at a
higher rate than people living in quiet
distt. in the same part of the country.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
OF NOISE POLLUTION
We should restrict the use of loudspeakers.
Radio and T.V.should be played at low
volume.
We should use better engines for vehicles
which make less noise.
 SOIL POLLUTION

The contamination of soil with solid waste,

acid rain,insecticidesoil pollution or land
pollution
s and herbicides is called
SOURCES OF SOIL
POLLUTION
 Use of excess fertilizers
 Use of insecticides and herbicides

 Solid wastes

 Acid rain
INSECTICIDES AND HERBICIDES

These are poisonous chemicals which are used

to spray standing crops to prevent from harmful
insects and herbs.These mix with the soil and
pollute it.
 SPRAY OF PESTICIDES

FERTILISERS
The use of fertilizers to increase the crop yield
makes the soil either acidic and pollutes.For e.g
excessive use of ammonium sulphate fertilizer
makes the soil highly acidic.
 EFFECTS OF SOIL
POLLUTION

Garbage is a solid waste,which destroys the

natural beauty.It makes our surroundings dirty.
The soil pollution caused by acid rain reduces the
fertility of soil leading to reduction in crop yields.
 SOLID WASTES

A lot of soil pollution is caused by solid

wastes.This solid waste comes from homes,
industries and many other places.
It includes peeling of fruits, vegetables, waste
papers and glass pieces etc. All these wastes
pollute the soil.
 ACID RAIN

Acid rain is caused by air pollution.This acid rain

falls to the soil and pollutes it. It makes the soil
acidic that puts a bad effect.
ACID RAIN
 SOIL EROSION

Wind and rain causes soil erosion.But man is

the main cause of soil erosion.Due to excess
population ,more and more areas are cleared of
trees,plants and vegetation.
DEFORESTATION
SOIL EROSION
EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION
 Soil erosion can turn lush green forests into
deserts and spoil the environment .
 Soil erosion can cams landslides in hilly
areas .
 Soil erosion can cause sudden floods .
PREVENTION OF SOIL
EROSION

Soil erosion can be prevented by intensive

cropping .
Soil erosion in hilly areas can be prevented by
step farming .
Soil erosion can be prevented by planting trees
and sowing grasses .
MODES OF WASTE DISPOSAL
 Some of the important modes of waste
disposal are :
 Landfills

 Recycling

 Preparation of compost

 Production of bio gas and manure

 Incineration.
LANDSFILL
HOW MODES OF WASTE DISPOSAL
REDUCE SOIL POLLUTION

 Most of solid wastes in urban areas are buride in

low lying areas to level the uneven ground .It is
called landfill.
 The sold wastes like paper,plastic and metals are
recycled.The broken plastic
bags,buckets,bowls,cups and plates are melted
and remolded to make new articles.
 Domestic wastes can be converted into compost.
 Cow dung is fed into biogas plants to produce
biogas and manure .
HEAVILY POLLUTION
INDUSTRIES
 Seventeen categories have been identified:
 Cement,iron and steel,Oil refmerise
,pesticides.
 Thermal power plants,pulp and paper.

 Distilleries,petro chemical,sugar,Tanneries,
Basic drug , Dye, Caustic soda.
 Zinc smelter , Copper melter,
Pharmaceuticals and Aluminum smelter.
POLLUTION FROM
INDUSTRIES
CRITICALLY POLLUTED
AREAS IN COUNTRY
• Gujarat
• U.P
• M.P
• Assam
• Orissa
• Bihar
• Delhi
• Punjab
US CONTRIBUTES 5 % OF WORLD
POLLUTION

Each American in his life time uses

an average of 26 million gallons of
water, 21,000 gallons of
of paper, 28 billion bottles and 48
billions cans.
UNITED STATE FACTORIS
ADDING POLLUTION
These factories get rid of 165
million tons of solid wastes and
172 million tons of smoke fumes.
83 million United States
automobiles contributes 60
percent of air pollution in urban
district
POPULATION AND
ENVIRONMENT
The rapid increase in population
disturb the biotic environment. As
population increases, people cut the
forest trees to make space for living.
As a result wild animals lose their
natural cover.Wild animals are killed
for food and making money.
