In this I have worked on a project about simple methods to reduce the Environmental changes
And also check the previous one to know about how nanomaterials could fight Climatic Change
I have worked hard for 3 Months for this project
3. Pollution control is a term used in environmental
management. It means the control of emissions and
effluents into air, water or soil. Without pollution control,
the waste products from consumption, heating,
agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportation and
other human activities, whether they accumulate or
disperse, will degrade the environment. For this In this
research we have given some important steps in order to
prevent pollution
POLLUTION CONTROL
4. Three major areas of pollution prevention:
Products–products that are less toxic, less polluting, and wear-
resistant;
Processes–processes that are more efficient and waste-reducing;
Energy and Resource Efficiency–processes or products that use less
energy and fewer raw materials because of greater efficiency

6. 1)Replace disposable items with reusable
2)Pass on paper
3)Conserve water & electricity
4)Support local & environmentally friendly
5)Recycle (& then recycle properly)
5 Simple ways to save environmental problems
8. Follow these Tips Every Day to Reduce Pollution:
Conserve energy - at home, at work, everywhere.
Look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying home or office equipment.
Carpool, use public transportation, bike, or walk whenever possible.
Follow gasoline refueling instructions for efficient vapor recovery, being
careful not to spill fuel and always tightening your gas cap securely.
Consider purchasing portable gasoline containers labeled “spill-proof,”
where available.
Keep car, boat, and other engines properly tuned.
Be sure your tires are properly inflated.
Use environmentally safe paints and cleaning products whenever possible.
Mulch or compost leaves and yard waste.
Consider using gas logs instead of wood.
9. On Days when High Ozone Levels are Expected, Take these Extra
Steps to Reduce Pollution:
Choose a cleaner commute - share a ride to work or use public
transportation.
Combine errands and reduce trips. Walk to errands when possible.
Avoid excessive idling of your automobile.
Refuel your car in the evening when its cooler.
Conserve electricity and set air conditioners no lower than 78
degrees.
Defer lawn and gardening chores that use gasoline-powered
equipment, or wait until evening.
10. On Days when High Particle Levels are
Expected, Take these Extra Steps to Reduce
Pollution:
Reduce the number of trips you take in your car.
Reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove
use.
Avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials.
Avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden
equipment.
11. The best way to improve surface water quality is to prevent pollution at its source.
1) Pick up litter and throw it away in a garbage can.
2) Blow or sweep fertilizer back onto the grass if it gets onto paved areas. Don't put
fertilizer on the grass right before it rains. The chemicals will wash into storm drains and
waterways.
3) Mulch or compost grass or yard waste. Or, leave it in your yard if you can't compost.
Don't blow leaves into the street. This clogs and damages storm drains.
4) Wash your car or outdoor equipment where it can flow to a gravel or grassed area
instead of a street.
5) Don't pour your motor oil down the storm drain. Take it to the nearest auto parts store.
This is free!
6) Never clean up a spill by hosing it into a storm drain. Use dry methods like placing kitty
litter, sand, or another absorbent on the spill. Once the liquid becomes solid - sweep it up
and throw it in a garbage can.
Ways to Prevent Water Pollution
12. Lightweight nano-composite materials - Effort to reduce emissions in vehicles by
reducing their weight , decreasing fuel consumption can have an immediate and
significant global impact. It is estimated that a 10% reduction in weight of the vehicle
corresponds to a 10% reduction in fuel consumption, leading to a proportionate fall in
emissions
Nanomaterials like silica, many tires will in the future be capable of attaining the best
energy rating, the green category. Cars equipped with category A tires consume
approximately 7.5% less fuel than those with tires of the minimum standard of
category G. Residential and commercial buildings contribute to 11% of total greenhouse
gas emissions. Space heating and cooling of residential buildings account for 40% of the
total residential energy use.
13. Batteries - Some could increase the efficiency of electric and hybrid vehicles by
significantly reducing the weight of the batteries. Nanotechnology is positioned to
create significant change across several domains, especially in energy where it may
bring large and possibly sudden performance gains to renewable sources and
Smart Grids. Nanotech enhancements may also increase battery power by orders
of magnitude, allowing intermittent sources such as solar and wind to provide a
larger share of overall electricity supply without sacrificing stability.
14. Renewable energy sources that also contribute to environmental protection by replacing harmful things like fossil fuels
and through technology:
•Solar energy.
•Wind energy.
•Tidal energy.
•Biomass energy
