3. GLOBAL WARMING:
Definition:
“A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the
earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse
effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs,
and other pollutants.”
4. CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING:
Power plants
Transportation
Oil drilling
Farming
Deforestation
Fertilizers
Natural gas drilling
Volcanic eruption
Garbage
5. EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING:
Rising maximum temperatures.
• Rising sea levels.
• Higher ocean temperatures.
• An increase in heavy precipitation (heavy rain and hail)
• Shrinking glaciers.
• Thawing permafrost.
6. SOLUTION:
Set limits on global warming pollutants.
Invest in jobs and energy.
Drive smarter cars.
Create green homes and buildings.
Build better communication and
transportation network.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION:
Definition:
“the contamination of the physical and
biological components of the
earth/atmosphere system to such an extent
that. normal environmental processes are
adversely affected.”
8. TYPES OF POLLUTION:
The three major types of pollution..
Air pollution
Water pollution
Land/soil pollution
9. CAUSES OF POLLUTION:
• Mining and exploration.
• Agricultural activities.
• Burning of fossil fuels.
• Particulate matter.
• Plastics.
• The Burning of Fossil Fuels.
• Industrial Emission.
• Indoor Air Pollution.
• Wildfires.
• Microbial Decaying Process.
• Transportation.
• Open Burning of Garbage
Waste.
• Construction and Demolition
10. EFFECTS OF POLLUTION:
An increased risk of heart disease, wheezing,
coughing, and respiratory problems and skin,
nose, and throat irritation can be caused by
high levels of air pollution. Air Pollution affects
human health in different ways, Air pollution
may also cause heart attacks, asthma, and other
respiratory complications.
11. SOLUTIONS :
1. Using public transports.
2. Turn off the lights when not
in use.
3. Recycle and Reuse.
4. No to plastic bags.
5. Reduction of forest fires and
smoking.
6. Use of fans instead of Air
Conditioner.
7. Use filters for chimneys. ...
8. Avoid usage of crackers.
12. CONCLUSIONS:
Environmental pollution is causing a lot of distress not
only to humans but also animals, driving many animal
species to endangerment and even extinction.
global warming is the major challenge for our global
society. There is very little doubt that global warming
will change our climate in the next century. ... If
implemented now, a lot of the costs and damage that
could be caused by changing climate can be mitigated.
