 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.
A Broader View of
Pollution
 Types of Pollution
Air Pollution
Water Pollution
Noise Pollution
Soil Pollution
AIR POLLUTION
 Air Pollution
Any alteration of the physical, chemical and
biological properties of the atmospheric air.
 Causes of Air Pollution
Industries.
Automobiles and Domestic fuels.
High Proportion of undesirable gases, such as sulphur
dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Dust(e.g. cement dust, foundry dust and windblown solid
dust)
Mist.
Smoke.
Carbon black.
Aerosols.
 Effects of Air Pollution
Global warming.
Ozone depletion(Ozone hole).
Acid Rain.
Various respiratory illnesses.
WATER POLLUTION
 C1auses of Water
Pollution
Sewage and wastewater.
Marine dumping
Industrial waste
Radioactive waste
Oil pollution
Underground storage leakage
Atmospheric deposition
Global warming
Eutrophication
 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.
 Effects of Water Pollution
Diseases like Cholera.
Malaria.
Typhoid (spread during the rainy season).
Aquatic life gets destroy.
NOISE POLLUTION
 Noise Pollution
is the excessive sound that causes hearing loss,
stress, fatigue, irritability, tension, headaches,
and high blood pressure.
 Causes of Noise Pollution
Traffic Noise.
Aircraft Noise.
Noise from construction and civil engineering
works.
Noise from the Industries.
Noise from other sources.
Effects of Noise Pollution
Hearing loss
High blood pressure.
Stress.
Sleep disturbance.
Color blindness.
SOIL POLLUTION
 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.
 Causes of Soil Pollution
Mining, Erosion and quarrying.
Household Garbage.
Urbanization and Concentration of Population.
Municipal Solid Waste.
Industrial Waste and Hazardous Waste.
Uncontrolled Land Treatment.
Burning open dumps and forestfires.
Deforestation.
 Effects of Soil Pollution
The Land Cannot use to buildhouses.
Man cannot be farming.
Ground water will getsAffected.
Death of the animals that inhabit the land
