3. WHAT IS ENVIROMENT?
Environment is the total sum of what is around something or someone . It
includes living things and natural forces .The environment of living things provides
conditions for development and growth, as well as of danger and damage. Living things
do not simply exist in their environment. They constantly interact with it. Organisms
change in response to conditions in their environment.

4. The word environment is used to talk about many things. People in different
fields of knowledge (like history, geography or biology) use the word differently. An
electromagnetic environment is the various radio waves that equipment such as radio and
radar can meet. Galactic environment refers to conditions between the stars.
In psychology and medicine a person's environment is the people, physical
things, places, and events that the person lives with. The environment affects the growth
and development of the person. It affects the person's behavior.

5. Types of
environment

6. The five types of
environment are :
Aquatic, forest, desert,
grassland , and tundra
environment or biomes . Each of
these can be found in many areas
around the world and contribute to
the world’s ecosystem .

7. AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT:
Aquatic environments
are found all over the world.
Roughly 75 percentage of the
Earth is covered by water, and all
of this water is part of an aquatic
environment . The aquatic biome
is further divided into saltwater
oceans and freshwater
environments , such as rivers and
lakes

10. FOREST ENVIRONMENT:
Forests biomes are
characterized by large trees and
vegetation .They can be found in
cold and warm temperatures
around the world .These
environments are important to the
Earth because they release oxygen
into the atmosphere and capture
excess carbon dioxide .

11. FOREST
ENVIRONMENT

12. DESERTAL ENVIRONMENT:
Deserts are any type of
environment that receives less
than 10 inches of precipitation
each year . They can be very hot
and sandy or very cold and icy.

13. DESERTAL ENVIRONMENT

14. GRASSLAND ENVIRONMENT
Grasslands are large
biomes characterized by huge open
areas that receive between 10 to 30
inches of precipitation per year.
These areas are covered mostly by
grass and have few trees and other
types of vegetation .They are home
to a wide variety of animals that use
the grass for food.

15. GRASSLAND ENVIRONMENT

16. TUNDRA ENVIRONMENT:
Tundra is the coldest
biome of all of the different
environments. Tundra’s have long,
cold winters and very short
summers .

17. TUNDRA ENVIRONMENT

18. WHAT IS NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT?
The natural environment
encompasses all living and non-living
things occurring naturally on Earth or
some region thereof. It is an
environment that encompasses the
interaction of all living species.
Climate, weather, and natural
resources that affect human survival
and economic activity.

19. The concept of the natural environment can
be distinguished by components:
Complete ecological units that
function as natural systems without massive
civilized human intervention, including all
vegetation, microorganisms, soil, rocks,
atmosphere, and natural phenomena that
occur within their boundaries
Universal natural resources and
physical phenomena that lack clear-cut
boundaries, such as air, water, and climate,
as well as energy, radiation, electric charge,
and magnetism, not originating from
civilized human activity

20. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

22. Environmental pollution can be
defined as any undesirable change in
physical, chemical or biological
characteristics of any components of
the environment i.e air , water ,soil
which can cause harmful effects on
various forms of life or property.

24. There are several types of pollution,
and while they may come from
different sources and have different
consequences, understanding the
basics about pollution can help
environmentally conscious
individuals minimize their
contribution to these dangers. In
total, there are nine recognized
sources of pollution in the modern
world.

29. Air pollution is the introduction
of particulates, biological molecules,
or other harmful gases into Earth's
atmosphere, causing disease, death to
humans, damage to other living
organisms such as food crops, or the
natural or built environment. Air
pollution may come from
anthropogenic or natural sources.

30. CAUSES OF AIR
POLLUTION :
There are various
locations, activities or factors
which are responsible for
releasing pollutants into the
atmosphere. These sources
can be classified into two
major categories.

31. Anthropogenic (man-made)
sources:
These are mostly related to the burning
of multiple types of fuel.
Stationary sources include
smoke stacks of power plants,
manufacturing facilities (factories) and
waste incinerators, as well as furnaces
and other types of fuel-burning heating
devices. In developing and poor
countries, traditional biomass burning is
the major source of air pollutants;
traditional biomass includes wood, crop
waste and dung.

32. Mobile sources include
motor vehicles, marine vessels,
and aircraft.
Controlled burn practices
in agriculture and forest
management. Controlled or
prescribed burning is a technique
sometimes used in forest
management, farming, prairie
restoration or greenhouse gas
abatement. Fire is a natural part
of both forest and grassland
ecology and controlled fire can
be a tool for foresters.

34. WATER POLLUTION

35. Water pollution
is the contamination of
water bodies (e.g.
lakes, rivers, oceans,
aquifers and
groundwater). This form
of environmental
degradation occurs
when pollutants are
directly or indirectly
discharged into water
bodies without

36. Water pollution is a major
major global problem which
which requires ongoing
evaluation and revision of
water resource policy at all
all levels (international down
down to individual aquifers
aquifers and wells). It has
been suggested that water
pollution is the leading
worldwide cause of deaths
and diseases, and that it

38. The specific contaminants
contaminants leading to
pollution in water include a wide
wide spectrum of chemicals,
pathogens, and physical changes
changes such as elevated
temperature and discoloration.
discoloration. While many of the
the chemicals and substances
that are regulated may be
naturally occurring (calcium,
sodium, iron, manganese, etc.)
etc.) the concentration is often

39. Oxygen depleting
substances may be natural
materials such as plant
matter (e.g. leaves and grass)
as well as man-made
chemicals. Other natural and
anthropogenic substances
may cause turbidity
(cloudiness) which blocks
light and disrupts plant
growth, and clogs the gills of
some fish species.
Many of the
chemical substances are

44. Noise pollution or
noise disturbance is the
disturbing or excessive
noise that may harm the
activity or balance of
human or animal life. The
source of most outdoor
noise worldwide is mainly
caused by machines and
transportation systems,
motor vehicles, aircraft,
and trains. Outdoor noise
is summarized by the word
environmental noise.

45. High noise levels
can contribute to
cardiovascular effects in
humans, a rise in blood
pressure, causing head-
ache, and an increase in
stress , and an increased
incidence of coronary
artery disease. In animals,
noise can increase the
risk of death by altering
predator or prey
detection and avoidance,
interfere with
reproduction, and
contribute to permanent
hearing loss.

46. HEARING LOSS

47. There are six main
reasons for noise
pollution:
1.Industrialization
2.Poor urban
planning
3.Social events
4.Transportation
5.Construction
6.House hold chores
This form of pollution
may seem harmless, it in
fact has far reaching
consequences. The
adverse effects on the
health of the environment
are quite severe.

52. Land Pollution means means
degradation or destruction of earth’s
surface and soil, directly or
indirectly as a result of human
activities. Anthropogenic activities
are conducted citing development,
and the same affects the land
drastically, we witness land
pollution; by drastic we are
referring to any activity that lessens
the quality and/or productivity of
the land .

54. There are eight main causes for land
pollution:
1.Deforestation and soil
erosion.
2.Agricultural activities
3.Mining activities
4.Overcrowded landfills
5.Industrialization
6.Construction activities
7.Nuclear waste
8.Sewage treatment

55. Some effects of land pollution:
1.Soil pollution
2.Change in climate patterns.
3.Environmental impact
4.Effects on human health
5.Cause air pollution
6.Distraction for tourists
7.Effect on wildlife

56. SOME SOLUTIONS :
1. Make people aware about the
concept of Reduce, Recycle and
Reuse.
2. Reduce the use of pesticides and
fertilizers in agricultural activities.
3. Avoid buying packages items as
they will lead to garbage and end up
in landfill site.
4. Ensure that you do not litter on
the ground and do proper disposal of
garbage.
5. Buy biodegradable products.
Solutions For Land Pollution

61. World
Environment Day
(WED) is celebrated
every year on 5 June to
raise global awareness to
take positive
environmental action to
protect nature and the
planet Earth. It is run
by the United Nations
Environment Programme
.
It was
established by the
United Nations General
Assembly in 1972 on the
day that United Nations
Conference on the
Human Environment
began.
