The document discusses various types of environmental pollution such as air, water, soil, noise, waste, food, radiation, and thermal pollution. It defines key terms and outlines sources and impacts of each type of pollution. Some main points covered are that air pollution is caused by vehicles, industries and burning of waste; water pollution comes from domestic, industrial and agricultural waste; and soil pollution results from industrial waste, construction, and deforestation. The impacts of pollution include effects on public health, plants and animals, and socioeconomic conditions.

2. • Basically the English world environment is derived
from the French word Environner i.e to encircle or
surround.
•It is strange feeling when we realizes that earth is a very
small in the universe alone has the required environment
for life.
•The Indian environment is as much affected as the rest of
the world.
•The mandate that each country should have 33% of its
land in forest India has only 22%.

3.  The expression pollute means " to get spoil or to make
unclean, impure and unhealthy.
 The word pollution is derived from the Latin word
polutus which means ' defiled or to make dirty or to
pollute'.
 The expression denotes ' the presence of wrong matter
in wrong quantity and at wrong place.'

4. DEFINITION OF ENVIRONMENT
 Environment includes water air land and the
interrelationship which exist ' among and between
water, air, land and human beings other living
creatures , plants, micro organism and property.
 DEFINITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANT
 According to sec 2(b) of the Environment Protection
Act 1986, Environmental pollutant means ' any solid,
liquid or gaseous substances present in such
concentration as may be or tend to be injurious to
environment.

5.  According to sec 2(c) of the Environment Protection
Act 1986, Environmental pollution means the presence
in the environment of any environmental pollutants.
 Every substances existing in the environment has
definite composition when foreign body is introduced
into it then the substance loses its original character
and qualities.

6.  Air is the basic need of human being without which we
cannot survive for a few minutes.
 Tremendous growth of population, urbanisation,
expansion of industries ventilated the gravity of the
effect of air pollution.
 Air pollution is mainly caused by smoke and gases
released from the factories and vehicle.
 50% of the air pollution caused by automobiles.

7.  The combustion of fuel to
produce energy for heating
and power.
 Transportation.
 Industrial and commercial
process.
 Incineration burning of waste
i.e rubber, plastic product
without combustion
equipment.
 Agricultural activities.

8.  Air pollution has an adverse
effect on the environmental and
climatic condition, human
health and safety, plants and
animals and other socio
economic condition.

9.  Water is essentially required by all kinds of life.
 Not only the human being but each and every living
creature is dependent on water.
 However as water being the best solvent, it is also true
that it may create nuisance when comes in the contact
of pollutant and remains untreated.
 when untreated waste water passes through the
industries,agricultural land it get spoiled and becomes
harmful to plants animals and mens.

10.  Domestic commercial
waste.
 Industrial waste.
 Agricultural waste.
 Chemical waste.
 Thermal waste.

11.  Water pollution causes
harmful effect on the
environment which includes
public health and safety,
plants and animal life, land.
 There are 60% of desease in
India caused due to the
pollution of water.

12.  The word soil is derived from the latin word ' Solum'
which means earthly material in which plants, bushes
and grass grows.
 A small portion of soil mass consists a live organism
such as insects, worms,plants, millions of micro
organism.
 Soil being a integral part of land any detrioration in its
quality mass or volume is also a detrioration of land.

13.  India is lossing about
6000 million tons of top
soil per annum through
water errosion this being
a major nutrient for plant
life to survive.
 It require thousand year
to mother earth to
generate half an inch of
top soil on its surface.

14.  Industrial waste and scraps.
 Dumping of degradable and
non degradable garbage.
 Unmindfull use of chemical
pesticides.
 Construction of
dams,mining,roads.
 Deforestation.

15.  Soil erosion causing premature siltation of tanks and
reservoirs, chocking of estuaries and harbours.

16.  Noise means unwanted sound.
 What is pleasant to some ears may be extremely
unpleasant to other depending on a number of
psychological factors.
 Most of the people do not consider noise as pollution
but as a part of routine life.
 To curb the noise pollution people should realise the
danger of noise pollution.

17.  Natural sources of noise
pollution i.e air,noise, valcanos,
seas,rivers, exchanging voice of
living organ including man and
mammals.
 Man made noise pollution are
machine and modern
equipment of various types,
automobiles, trains,aeroplans &
use of explosives.

18.  Hearing Problems: Any unwanted sound that our ears have
not been built to filter can cause problems within the body.
 Health Issues: aggressive behavior, disturbance of sleep,
constant stress, fatigue and hypertension can be linked to
excessive noise levels.
 Sleeping Disorders
 Cardiovascular Issues: Blood pressure levels, cardio-
vascular disease and stress related heart problems are on
the rise.
 Trouble Communicating: High decibel noise can put
trouble and may not allow two people to communicate
freely

19.  Waste are the rubbish or
material that are not needed and
are economically unusable
without further processing.
 Without suitable treatment such
waste becomes a source of
contamination of the
environment at large.
 Solid waste may contains
agricultural wastes ashes, bio
medical waste, thrown parts of
the dead animals, dry and wet
garbage from domestics
activities which may contains
plastics, metals, glass, wood,
papers.

20.  All living being requires food to
obtain energy from which they carry
on their activities.
 The pollution of food begins by use
of chemical, frtilizers and various
pesticides at different stages of
plant growth starting from its
germination and plantation upto
the stages when it gets flowers and
fruits.
 These chemicals directly and
indirectly affect the quality of food
and affects the health of the
consumers.

21.  The main source of such pollution are either due to
spreading of radiation at the time of nuclear testing or
leakage from such idustry or spreading radiation by
use of nuclear missiles at the time of war.
 Also the soils and rocks contains radioactive substance
such as uranium and thorium which can be dug out by
mining operation, if water comes in contact with such
rocks and soil then radioactivity imported to such
water causing its pollution.
 Such pollution becomes very harmful to not only the
present generation but future generation also.

22.  Acute damage: Sudden
death, death after duration of
week, loss of hair, widespred
ulcers, inability to deal with
ever minor infections.
 Chronic damage: Disease of
blood like anaemia, blood
cancer, cancer of skin ane
other organs.
 Genetic damage: Hairless
child, retarded child,
defective senses.

23.  Thermal pollution is however
on the increase ecause of the
era of globalisation.
 Industries & power plants may
use water to cool machinery
and then discharge the
warmed water into a stream.

24.  Chemical pharmaceutical industries.
 Paper and pulp industries.
 Petroleum products & Plastic industries.
 Deforestation on shoreline which increase soil erosion.
 Sudden change in temprature due to hot waste water
can harm the life of fisheries.
