It notes that deforestation is a major cause of pollution and releases harmful gases that contribute to issues like global warming. Transportation also significantly contributes to air pollution through the release of hydrocarbons from vehicles. Overpopulation puts pressure on the environment by requiring more resources. Various types of pollution like water, soil and air pollution are discussed along with their impacts on health and the environment. Solutions like reducing plastic use and controlling population growth are mentioned.
Pollution
Environmental pollution is the alteration of the natural environment due to human activities. It is divided into air, water, and soil pollution. Air pollution comes from automobile exhaust, industries, and other everyday sources. Water pollution results from industrial and agricultural waste as well as recreational activities. Soil pollution increases the concentration of pollutants and damages ecosystems. Pollution has wide-ranging health impacts and is caused by lack of environmental respect, certain products, and other human activities. Potential solutions include recycling, organic farming, reduced resource use, and public transportation.
Cause And Effect Of Pollution
This document discusses the causes and effects of air pollution. It notes that the burning of fossil fuels from power plants, vehicles, and factories is a major contributor to air pollution. This pollution causes health issues like respiratory illnesses and asthma. Rising global temperatures can exacerbate air pollution issues by increasing ozone smog and wildfire smoke. Climate change is expected to make air pollution worse over time through higher emissions and increased reactions between pollutants and heat.
Atmospheric aerosols and air pollution, ozone
The document discusses aerosols and their effects. It provides information on:
1. What aerosols are, including their natural and anthropogenic sources. Aerosols can affect climate directly by scattering and absorbing radiation, and indirectly by altering cloud properties.
2. The health impacts of aerosols, as they are a major component of smog. Epidemiological studies have shown correlations between elevated aerosol levels and increased mortality, hospital visits, and excess infant mortality.
3. The effects of black carbon aerosols specifically. Black carbon warms the atmosphere through absorption of sunlight and contributes to melting of snow and ice when deposited on their surfaces. It may be responsible for up to 40

Human impact on ecology
Ecology is the study of interactions between living organisms and their environment. Key components of ecology include producers, consumers, decomposers and the biosphere. Ecology studies different levels of organization from populations and communities to ecosystems and the biosphere. Human activities directly and indirectly impact ecology through land use changes, agriculture, construction, pollution and more. Governments are taking actions to promote more environmentally friendly practices and mitigate human impacts on the environment.
Pollution 3-1
Pollution occurs when harmful substances contaminate the environment. There are six main types of pollution: air, water, noise, land, radioactive, and soil. Various human activities like industry, transportation, agriculture, and waste dumping can pollute the air with gases, water with chemicals, land with trash and debris, soil with toxic materials, and introduce radioactive and noise pollution. Pollution has wide-ranging negative effects on human health, ecosystems, and the atmosphere. Reducing pollution requires changes like using renewable energy, sustainable farming, proper waste disposal, and raising awareness.
Environmental Pollution.pdf
The document discusses environmental pollution and its causes, types, and effects. It defines environmental pollution as an undesirable change in the environment that harms plants and animals.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Air Pollution (Sustainable Development)
- 1. MEC600: ENGINEEERING IN SOCIETY AIR POLLUTION
- 2. • What is air pollution? A substance in the air that can cause harm to humans and the environment is known as an air pollution. Pollution can be in the form of solid particle, liquid droplets and the gases. In addition, they may be natural or man made. INTRODUCTION: AIR POLLUTION
- 3. 10 Common Substance in Air Pollution Sulphur Dioxide Particulate Matter Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs) Nitrogen Oxides Carbon Monoxide Carbon Dioxide Lead and Heavy Metals Unburned Hydro Carbon CFCs Ozone
- 4. TYPES OF AIR POLLUTION PRIMARY AIR POLLUTION - ENTER THE ATMOSPHERE DIRECTLY SECONDARY AIR POLLUTION - FORM FROM A CHEMICAL REACTION
- 6. EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION Local Effects Effects on human and gives an impact on the environment Example: Human death from respiratory disease an chronic fatigue Vegetation damage, reduce biodiversity and damage to the soil Global Effects Effect on the earth Example: Acid rain, depletion of ozone layer and global warming
- 7. 1. Respiratory and Health Problem A large number of scientific studies have linked ozone exposures to serious health outcomes such as emergency department visits, hospitalization for respiratory causes and mortality 2. Global Warming Another direct effect is the immediate alterations that the world is witnessing due to global warming. With increases temperature worldwide, increase in sea levels water due to melt of iceberg 3. Acid Rain Caused when the pollution combine with water droplets in the air. Acid rain is the precipitation containing harmful amounts of nitric and sulphuric acid formed primarily by Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides when the fossil fuels are burned. 4. Eutrophication Condition where high amount of nitrogen presents in some pollutants gets developed on sea surface and turns itself into algae and adversely affect the fish, plants and animal species. The green coloured algae present due to presence of this chemical only. Effects of Air Pollution
- 8. Effects of Air Pollution 5. Effect on Wildlife Just like humans, animals also face some devastating affects of air pollution. Toxic chemical present in the air can force wildlife species to move to new place and change their habitat. The toxic pollutants deposit over the surface of water and can also affect sea animals. 7. Damage to The Soil Air pollution has interaction with both soil and water. It cannot isolate the events that happen in the air of those occurring in the water or land. The interaction resulting permanent exchange of matter and energy. 6. Depletion of Ozone Layer Ozone exist in earth’s stratosphere and it responsible for protecting humans from ultraviolet (UV) rays. Ozone layer depleting due to the presence of CFC and HCFC in the atmosphere. As the ozone become thinner, it will emits harmful rays back on earth and can cause skin and eyes problems.
- 9. What are the challenges countries face and what obstacles are preventing assistance in improving air quality? Challenges & obstacles 1 Meeting health- based standard for common air pollutant 2 Limiting climate change 3 Reducing risk from toxic air pollutant 4 Protecting the stratospheric ozone layer against degradation Air pollution can be harmful even when it is not visible. Scientific study according to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shown that there are many problems and future challenges. Beside show the challenges countries face against the air pollution:
- 10. CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTED PROGRAM DEVELOP CLEAN, RENEWABLE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY- FRIENDLY ENERGY SOURCES ROAD SPACE RATIONING PLAN AND DRIVING RESTRICTION PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
- 11. Unsystematic management system Need to wait for the ride Need to use a few transportation since it does not have the direct route of users’ destinations Bus drivers are driving in ethical manner which can cause accidents Users need to plan their journey properly
- 12. ROAD SPACE RATIONING PLAN AND DRIVING RESTRICTION Had been implemented in a few congested highway Heavy vehicles were banned on morning and evening peak hours They took others road which resulting another road congestion at unexpected roads. Go Green campaign which is KL Carfree Morning had been introduced in Kuala Lumpur This event is successful and public support and participate in this campaign
- 13. Public still use fossil fuels Lack of awareness program
- 14. Un-ethical Problem Non- malfeasance Allowing the release of that chemical into populated areasBeneficence Autonomy Convincing the community that a given toxic chemical exposure is harmless in spite of the fact that their methods of review are scientifically invalid Justice Veracity Fails to tell the whole truth Fidelity Emission limitation might create difficulty amongst companies. However it is tolerable as long as it does not get out of hand. Due to zoning restrictions, industrial facilities are not often built close to the wealthy neighborhoods Procedures are based on discredited, invalid information and plain nonsense
