This document discusses the various types of pollution including water, air, soil, thermal, radioactive, noise, and light pollution. It focuses on describing water pollution and air pollution in more detail. Water pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate water bodies and can include nutrients, surface water, oxygen depleting, microbiological, suspended matter, chemical, and oil pollutants. Air pollution releases air pollutants into the atmosphere from various sources and the most dangerous include ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lead. The document provides tips for reducing pollution.

2. What are the causes of Pollution?
1. Water Pollution.
2. Air Pollution.
3. Soli Pollution.
4. Thermal Pollution.
5. Radioactive Pollution.
6. Noise Pollution.
7. Light Pollution.

3. • Most of this air
pollution we cause
results from the
burning of fossil fuels,
such as coal, oil,
natural gas, and
gasoline to produce
electricity and power
our vehicles. Carbon
dioxide (CO2) is a good
indicator of how much
fossil fuel is burned
and how much of other
pollutants are emitted
as a result.

4. What it is Water Pollution?
• 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
adequate treatment to
remove harmful
compounds.

8. Oil Spillage.

6. Why Water Pollution is Dangerous?
• Water pollution may not
damage our health
immediately but can be
harmful after long term
exposure.
• Different forms of pollutants
affect the health of animals
in different ways: Heavy
metals from industrial
processes can accumulate in
nearby lakes and rivers.

8. What it is Air Pollution
• Air pollution is the release of air pollutants
into the atmosphere. Those pollutants may be
gases or particulate matter and can come
from a variety of sources. ... These are carbon
monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides,
ozone, particulate matter and lead.

9. What are the Different type of Air
Pollution
1. There are many types of primary pollutants,
including carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides,
sulfur oxides, particulates, lead, and volatile
organic compounds.
2. Secondary pollutants form from chemical
reactions that occur when pollution is
exposed to sunlight.

10. What is the most Dangerous Air
Pollution
• These dangerous pollutants are known as the
criteria pollutants, and include ozone,
particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen
dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lead.

11. How can we help stop Pollution ?
How can we help stop pollution?
1. These steps, as well as many
others, are things we all can do
to help reduce air pollution.
2. Conserve energy – remember to
turn off lights, computers, and
electric appliances when not in
use.
3. Use energy efficient light bulbs
and appliances.
4. Participate in your local utility's
energy conservation programs

12. What it is Soil Pollution?
• Soil contamination or soil pollution as part of
land degradation is caused by the presence of
xenobiotic (human-made) chemicals or other
alteration in the natural soil environment. It is
typically caused by industrial activity,
agricultural chemicals, or improper disposal of
waste.
