This document defines and discusses several types of pollution: air, water, noise, soil, and radioactive. It provides causes and effects of each type of pollution. For air pollution, key causes are motor vehicles, industry, and fires, and effects include health impacts. Water pollution occurs when waste is discharged without treatment into bodies of water, harming plants and organisms. Noise pollution stems from machines, vehicles, and poor urban planning, and can damage health. Soil pollution is caused by industry and agriculture. Radioactive pollution risks skin burns and cancer from uncontrolled leakage and disposal of nuclear materials. The document suggests various solutions for each type including emissions controls, waste treatment, and safe handling of radioactive substances.

4. Definition.
Types Of Pollution.
Causes.
Effects.

5.  Pollution is the introduction of contaminants
into the natural environment that cause
adverse change, in the form of killing of life
,toxicity of environment , damage to
ecosystem and aesthetics of our surrounding .

7. Air Pollution.
Water Pollution.
Noise Pollution.
Soil Pollution
Radioactive Pollution

9.  Air pollution is contamination of
the indoor or outdoor environment
by any chemical, physical or
biological agent that modifies the
natural characteristics of the
atmosphere.

10.  Motor vehicles.
 Household combustion devices.
 Industrial facilities.
 Forest fires

11. • Maintaining a healthy distance between
the industrial and residential areas.
• The sulphur must be removed after
burning.
• The gasoline must have anti knocking
agents.
• The mining area should be planted with
trees.

12. • The coal fuel should be replaced with gas
fuel to control the air pollution.
• The automobiles must be designed with
emission control system.
• The wastes must be removed and recycled
in the industrial plants and refineries.
• Plants like pine and ribes need to be
planted to metabolize the nitrogen oxides
and other pollutants.

13. • Timely servicing of the car helps to
keep it in a good condition, and also
minimizes fuel exhaustion.
• Using public transportation helps to
prevent the air pollution.
• Using alternative energy sources like
solar energy, hydroelectric energy, and
wind energy.

15.  Water pollution is the contamination of
water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans,
aquifers and groundwater).
 Water pollution occurs when
pollutants are discharged directly or
indirectly into water bodies without
adequate treatment to remove harmful
compounds.

16.  Water pollution affects plants
and organisms living in these
bodies of water. In almost all
cases the effect is damaging not
only to individual species and
populations, but also to the
natural biological communities

17. Plastics
Pesticides
Heavy metals
Sewage
Radioactive waste

18. Detergents
Food processing waste
 Insecticides and herbicides.
Petroleum hydrocarbons,
(gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuels,
and fuel oil).
Lubricants (motor oil).

19.  Conserve water by turning off the tap.
 Don’t throw paints and oils in water
channels.
 Use environment friendly household
products, such as washing powder,
household cleaning agents etc.
 Take great care not to overuse pesticides
and fertilizers.

21.  Noise pollution is displeasing or
excessive noise that may
disrupt the activity or balance
of human or animal life.
 Noise means disgust or
discomfort hearing from
environment.

22.  Machines.
 Transportation systems.
 Motor vehicles.
 Aircrafts.
 Trains.
 Poor urban planning.

23.  Noise pollution affects both health and
behavior.
 Unwanted sound (noise) can damage
psychological health.
 Hypertension .
 High stress levels .
 Hearing loss.
 Sleep disturbances, and other harmful
effects.

26. •Use of horns with jarring sounds,
motorbikes with damaged exhaust pipes,
noisy trucks to be banned.
•Noise producing industries, airports, bus
and transport terminals and railway
stations to sighted far from where living
places.
•Community law enforcers should check the
misuse of loudspeakers, worshipers,
outdoor parties and discos, as well as public
announcements systems.

27. •Vegetation (trees) along
roads and in residential
areas is a good way to
reduce noise pollution as
they absorb sound.

29.  Soil pollution is caused by the
presence of chemicals or other
alteration in the natural soil
environment.
 It is typically caused by industrial
activity.
 Agricultural chemicals.
 Improper disposal of waste.

30. • Limit the use of fertilizers and pesticides
• Awareness about biological control
methods and their implementation
• The grazing must be controlled and
forest management should be done
properly
• The afforestation and reforestation must
take place
• Proper preventive methods like shields
should be used in areas of wind erosion and
wind breaks

31. Treating Wastes of
industries.
Treating nuclear waste.
Proper disposing of
plastics and other garbage
materials.

32.  Radioactive pollution is the
presence of radioactive
substances on surfaces or
within solids, liquids or gases
(including the human body),
where their presence is
undesirable

33.  Radioactive Pollution may occur
from radioactive gases, liquids or
particles. For example, if a
radionuclide used in nuclear
medicine is spilled (accidentally or
through ignorance), the material
could be spread by people as they
walk around.

34.  The first effects were noted in the
early 20th century. The people who
were working in the uranium mines
suffer from skin burn and cancer.
These occur due to the radiations
from the radioactive material.

38.  The radioactive pollution can be controlled
by number of ways. It includes the stoppage
of leakage from the radioactive materials
including the nuclear reactors, industries and
laboratories.
 The disposal of radioactive material must be
safe and secure. They must be stored in the
safe places and must be changed into
harmless form.
 The protective garments must be worn by the
workers who work in the nuclear plants.
