3. DEFINITION
Pollution is the introduction of the love contaminant
into a natural environment that causes instability,
harm, or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e.
physical systems or living organisms. Pollution
can take the form of chemical substances or
energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants,
the components of pollution, can be either
foreign substances/energies or naturally
occurring contaminants. Pollution is often
classed as point source or nonpoint source
pollution.
4. TYPES OF POLLUTION
• AIR POLLUTION
• WATER POLLUTION
• NOISE POLLUTION
• LAND POLLUTION
• RADIO ACTIVE POLLUTION
5. AIR POLLUTION
WHAT IS ATMOSPHERE ???
• 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.
6. Causes of air pollution
Major sources of air pollution
• Industries
• Automobiles and domestic fuels
• High proportion of undesirables gases, such as
sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide
7. Effects of air pollution
Air pollution affects ???
• Human health
• Animals
• Plants
• The atmosphere as a whole
8. How to avoid air pollution ???
Yes we can avoid pollution as follows
Use natural gases,like ipg autos
Do not burst crackers
Use less amount offuel for vehicles
Avoid using and use of electric stoves(bio gas)
10. Definition of water pollution
The contamination of water with
undesirable substances which make it
unfit for usage is termed as water
pollution.
11. CAUSES OF WATER POLLUTION
• About 40% of death worldwide are caused
by water pollution.
• Water pollution is caused by organic and
inorganic industrial wastes and affluents
discharged into rivers.
• It also caused anxiety, stress reacation
and fright.
13. Effects of water pollution
• Diseases like cholera
• Malaria
• Typhoid (spread during the rainy season)
• Aquatic life gets destroyed
14. How to avoid water pollution???
• Rivers should not be used for washing
clothes or bathing animals in.
• Harvesting of rainwater to meet water
requirements.
• Dams and embankments must be created.
• The rivers must not be contaminated in
sacred rivers like Ganga, dead bodies
must not be thrown.
15. Noiseless atmosphere
• Noise can be simply defined as unwanted
sound.
• The sound is pleasant or not depends
upon its loudness,duration,rythem or the
mood of the person.
• Noise pullution results in irritation and
anger.
16. Causes of noise pollution
• Traffic noise
• Aircraft noise
• Noise from construction and civil
engineering works
• Noise from the industries
• Noise from other sources
17. See what is this
• Picture shows:noise pollution
18. Effects of noise pollution
• Hearing loss
• High blood pressure
• Stress
• Sleep disturbance
• Colour blindness
19. How to avoid noise pollution???
• The government should ensure that new
machines should be as noise proof as
possible.
• Air ports must be away from residential
area.
• The sound horn system is to be in school
roads.
20. Prevention of noise pollution
• Pleasant home.
• Bhagavan baba says ‘silent is god’.
• We need to talk sweetly to others.
• Talk less work more.
• Sound affects our ears so loud noise
should be avoided.
21. Land
• One-fourth of area of earth is covered by
land.
• Earth is a land which is occupied by
people for shelter,occupation etc..,
22. Causes of land pollution
• Mining and quarrying
• Sewage waste
• Household garbage
• Industrial waste
24. Prevention of land pollution
• More and more land must be brought
under farming.
• Trees should be planted everywhere.
• Waste matter should be disposed
immediately.
• Avoid drilling the land for more
underground water.
25. Radio active pollution
• Despite the advantage of nuclear as a
clean energy, the big concern is the
resultant from nuclear reaction, which is a
form of pollution called radio activity.
• Radiation (laser-rays) will form radio active
pollution.
26. Causes of radio active pollution
• Nuclear power plants ex: Neyveli
kalpakkam.
• Nuclear weapon ex: missiles.
• Disposal of nuclear waste.
• Uranium mining.
27. Effects of radio active pollution
• The diseases include blood in cough
• Ulcers
• Swelling of bone joints
• Cancer
• Lung cancer
• Skin cancer
• Bone cancer
• Eye problems
28. How to prevent radio active
pollution???
• Avoid constructing nuclear power plants.
• Avoid using nuclear weapons.
• Have proper treatment for nuclear waste.
• Avoid mining for uranium to a minimal.
