Pollution is the introduction of harmful
substances or products into the environment.
.Any undesirable change in the Physical,
chemical and biological properties of land,
water and air that are adversely effect to
human being and others living organism
There are 3 major parts of Pollution.
• Water Pollution
• Air Pollution
• Land Pollution
It is defined as any atmospheric condition
in which certain substances are present in
such concentrations that they produce
undesirable effects on humans and
environment.

Air Pollutant and their effects
Things that pollute a substance is called a pollutant.
•Air Pollutant
An air pollutant is a substance in the air that can have
adverse effects on humans and the ecosystem. The
substance can be solid particles, liquid droplets, or
gases. A pollutant can be of natural origin or man-
made.
•Pollutants are classified as primary or secondary.
-Major Primary Pollutants
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
Ammonia (NH3)
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Sulphur Oxides (SOx)
Heavy metals (As,Cd,Pb,Hg)
Volatile Organic Compounds
•Nitrogen oxides, particularly nitrogen dioxide, are expelled from high
temperature combustion, and are also produced during thunderstorms
by electric discharge.
•Nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted during fuel combustion, such as
by industrial facilities and the road transport sector.As with SO2,
NOX contributes to acid deposition.
•NO2 that is associated with adverse affects on health, as high
concentrations cause inflammation of the airways (wind pipe,layrnx).
•colourless and odourless,toxic gas
•comes from the incomplete combustion of fuel in vehicles.
•can be absorbed by haemoglobin in the blood, thus blood
can no longer absorb O2
•extra amounts of CO result in tiredness, headaches, heart
damage and small amounts can be lethal
•fuels (coal and petroleum) contain sulphur as an impurity;
when fuels are burnt, sulphur is oxidised or burnt to SO2
•also emitted from volcanoes eruptions
•irritates the eyes and causes breathing difficulties causes
asthmetic problems.
•in the presence of a catalyst such as NO2, forms H2SO4, and
results of acid rain.
• a gas with a characteristic pungent odor.
• Odors — such as from garbage, sewage, and industrial processes
• Radioactive pollutants - produced by nuclear explosions, nuclear
events, war explosives, and natural processes such as the radioactive
decay of radon.
• come from the agricultural sector, from activities such as manure
storage, slurry spreading and the use of synthetic amonia fertilizers.
The heavy metals arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb),
mercury (Hg) and nickel (Ni) are emitted mainly as a result of
various combustion processes and industrial activities.
•These chemicals are known as toxins and are linked to thyroid
disorders, cancer, women’s hormonal conditions, chronic
fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and other several illnesses &
symptoms includes.
•Fatigue
•Lung Cancer
•Cardiopulmonary diseases
VOC is emitted from a large number of sources including paint
application, road transport, dry-cleaning and other solvent uses.
• Methane VOC
• Non methane VOC
• Benzene
• Methyl Chloride
• CFCs
• Methylene chloride is highly dangerous to human health. It can be
found in adhesive removers and aerosol spray paints and the chemical
has been proven to cause cancer in animals. In the human body,
methylene chloride is converted to carbon monoxide and a person will
suffer the same symptoms as exposure to carbon monoxide.
• Benzene, is a chemical found in environmental tobacco smoke,
stored fuels, and exhaust from cars. Benzene has also been known to
contaminate food and water and if digested can lead to vomiting,
dizziness, sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, and at high levels, even death
may occur.
• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) widely used cleaning products and
refrigerants. Tetrachloroethene is used widely in dry cleaning harmful
to ozone layer which prevents human by having skin cancer and
various skin diseases,
-Major SecondaryAir Pollutant
Particulate matter (PM)
Particulates created from gaseous primary pollutants and
compounds in photochemical smog.
•Particulate matter includes both primary and secondary PM;
primary PM is the fraction of PM that is emitted directly into
the atmosphere, whereas secondary PM forms in the
atmosphere following the oxidation and transformation of toxic
gases (mainly SO2, NOX, NH3 and some volatile organic
compounds (VOCs).
•PM is one of the most important pollutants as it penetrates into
sensitive regions of the respiratory system
Ground level ozone (O3) formed from NOx and VOCs.
• Ozone (O3) is a secondary pollutant and a key constituent formed in
the troposphere.
• Photochemical and chemical reactions involving it drive many of the
chemical processes that occur in the atmosphere by day and by night.
• At abnormally high concentrations brought about by human activities
(largely the combustion of fossil fuel), it is a pollutant, and a
constituent of smog.
• Ozone is a powerful and aggressive oxidising agent, elevated levels of
which cause respiratory and cardiovascular health problems and lead
to premature mortalit.
• High levels of O3 can also damage plants, leading to reduced
agricultural crop yields and decreased forest growth.
• global warming is largely caused by increasing CO2 and other heat
trapping gases (e.g. methane) in the atmosphere.
• large amount of heat trapped on Earth; Earth becomes hotter.
Global warming cont.
•It results in rise in sea levels, flooding of low-lying lands,
melting of polar ice caps and changes in global climate.
Measures to reduce global warming-
-use of fossil fuels (to reduce CO2 emission)
-use tidal, wind and hydroelectric energy to generate electricity.
-use of solar energy.
•When emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide from
stationary sources are transported long distances by winds,
they form secondary pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide,
nitric acid vapor, and droplets containing solutions of
sulphuric acid, sulphate, and nitrate salts.
•These chemicals descend to the earth's surface in wet form
as rain or snow and in dry form as a gases fog, dew, or
solid particles, it is known as acid rain or acid deposition
Oxygen Depletion in
Water
• Self awareness to the person that pollution is a
disaster.
• Greening operations.
• Car checks (supply excess air to ensure complete
combustion; fit vehicles with catalytic converters.
• fit vehicles with catalytic converters to avoid
spreading nitrogen oxides in atmosphere.
• Renewable energy
•Planting trees
•Avoid purchasing excess amount of products that contain
CFCs.
•The suspension of licenses of industrial activity which
destroys the environment
•Relocation of polluting industries away from places where
people live
•Development of waste and garbage disposal recycling
•Renewable energy law

  • 14. •Nitrogen oxides, particularly nitrogen dioxide, are expelled from high temperature combustion, and are also produced during thunderstorms by electric discharge. •Nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted during fuel combustion, such as by industrial facilities and the road transport sector.As with SO2, NOX contributes to acid deposition. •NO2 that is associated with adverse affects on health, as high concentrations cause inflammation of the airways (wind pipe,layrnx).
  • 15. •colourless and odourless,toxic gas •comes from the incomplete combustion of fuel in vehicles. •can be absorbed by haemoglobin in the blood, thus blood can no longer absorb O2 •extra amounts of CO result in tiredness, headaches, heart damage and small amounts can be lethal
  • 16. •fuels (coal and petroleum) contain sulphur as an impurity; when fuels are burnt, sulphur is oxidised or burnt to SO2 •also emitted from volcanoes eruptions •irritates the eyes and causes breathing difficulties causes asthmetic problems. •in the presence of a catalyst such as NO2, forms H2SO4, and results of acid rain.
  • 17. • a gas with a characteristic pungent odor. • Odors — such as from garbage, sewage, and industrial processes • Radioactive pollutants - produced by nuclear explosions, nuclear events, war explosives, and natural processes such as the radioactive decay of radon. • come from the agricultural sector, from activities such as manure storage, slurry spreading and the use of synthetic amonia fertilizers.
  • 18. The heavy metals arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and nickel (Ni) are emitted mainly as a result of various combustion processes and industrial activities. •These chemicals are known as toxins and are linked to thyroid disorders, cancer, women’s hormonal conditions, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and other several illnesses & symptoms includes. •Fatigue •Lung Cancer •Cardiopulmonary diseases
  • 19. VOC is emitted from a large number of sources including paint application, road transport, dry-cleaning and other solvent uses. • Methane VOC • Non methane VOC • Benzene • Methyl Chloride • CFCs
  • 20. • Methylene chloride is highly dangerous to human health. It can be found in adhesive removers and aerosol spray paints and the chemical has been proven to cause cancer in animals. In the human body, methylene chloride is converted to carbon monoxide and a person will suffer the same symptoms as exposure to carbon monoxide. • Benzene, is a chemical found in environmental tobacco smoke, stored fuels, and exhaust from cars. Benzene has also been known to contaminate food and water and if digested can lead to vomiting, dizziness, sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, and at high levels, even death may occur. • Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) widely used cleaning products and refrigerants. Tetrachloroethene is used widely in dry cleaning harmful to ozone layer which prevents human by having skin cancer and various skin diseases,
  • 21. -Major SecondaryAir Pollutant Particulate matter (PM) Particulates created from gaseous primary pollutants and compounds in photochemical smog. •Particulate matter includes both primary and secondary PM; primary PM is the fraction of PM that is emitted directly into the atmosphere, whereas secondary PM forms in the atmosphere following the oxidation and transformation of toxic gases (mainly SO2, NOX, NH3 and some volatile organic compounds (VOCs). •PM is one of the most important pollutants as it penetrates into sensitive regions of the respiratory system
  • 22. Ground level ozone (O3) formed from NOx and VOCs. • Ozone (O3) is a secondary pollutant and a key constituent formed in the troposphere. • Photochemical and chemical reactions involving it drive many of the chemical processes that occur in the atmosphere by day and by night. • At abnormally high concentrations brought about by human activities (largely the combustion of fossil fuel), it is a pollutant, and a constituent of smog. • Ozone is a powerful and aggressive oxidising agent, elevated levels of which cause respiratory and cardiovascular health problems and lead to premature mortalit. • High levels of O3 can also damage plants, leading to reduced agricultural crop yields and decreased forest growth.
  • 23. • global warming is largely caused by increasing CO2 and other heat trapping gases (e.g. methane) in the atmosphere. • large amount of heat trapped on Earth; Earth becomes hotter.
  • 24. Global warming cont. •It results in rise in sea levels, flooding of low-lying lands, melting of polar ice caps and changes in global climate. Measures to reduce global warming- -use of fossil fuels (to reduce CO2 emission) -use tidal, wind and hydroelectric energy to generate electricity. -use of solar energy.
  • 25. •When emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide from stationary sources are transported long distances by winds, they form secondary pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, nitric acid vapor, and droplets containing solutions of sulphuric acid, sulphate, and nitrate salts. •These chemicals descend to the earth's surface in wet form as rain or snow and in dry form as a gases fog, dew, or solid particles, it is known as acid rain or acid deposition
  • 26.
  • 28. • Self awareness to the person that pollution is a disaster. • Greening operations. • Car checks (supply excess air to ensure complete combustion; fit vehicles with catalytic converters. • fit vehicles with catalytic converters to avoid spreading nitrogen oxides in atmosphere. • Renewable energy
  • 29. •Planting trees •Avoid purchasing excess amount of products that contain CFCs. •The suspension of licenses of industrial activity which destroys the environment •Relocation of polluting industries away from places where people live •Development of waste and garbage disposal recycling •Renewable energy law
