This document discusses different types of pollution including land, water, air, radioactive, and noise pollution. It notes that 9 million premature deaths worldwide in 2015 were linked to pollution, with most occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Several facts about pollution in India are presented, including that 13 of the world's 20 most polluted cities are in India, nearly 25% of deaths in India in 2015 were caused by pollution, and air pollution kills 1.81 million people in India annually, the highest of any country. The document provides examples of causes and effects for different types of pollution like land degradation from deforestation and mining, water contamination from industrial and agricultural waste, and air pollution from fossil fuel combustion.

2. POLLUTION
 introduction of contaminants into the environment
 Substances which have harmful or poisonous
effects.
 9 million premature deaths worldwide—16% of all
deaths—were linked to pollution in 2015

92% of pollution-
related deaths
happen in low- and
middle-income
countries

LAND
POLLUTION

4. LAND POLLUTION
degradation or destruction of earth's surface and soil
Causes- human activities like deforestation, mining,
industrialisation, overcrowded landfills, etc
Effects- environmental degradation, loss of wildlife, diseases,
global warming, etc.

5. WATER POLLUTION
contamination of water bodies
(rivers, lakes, oceans,
groundwater, etc)
occurs when harmful untreated
pollutants are discharged
into water bodies
Causes- industrial waste,
oil spills, sewage water,
marine dumping, chemical
fertilisers, pesticides
Effects- groundwater
contamination, destruction of
ecosystems, diseases,etc.

6. AIR POLLUTION
Introduction
of harmful
gases and
particulates
into the
Earth’s
atmosphere
CO2, SOx,
NOx, CO,
CFCs,
Particulates
, Ammonia
Causes -
Burning of
Fossil Fuels,
Exhaust
from
factories,
industries,
Mining
operations,
etc
Effects-
Acid rain,
global
warming,
respiratory
and heart
diseases

7. NOISE POLLUTION
excessive and troublesome sound that is injurious to
health
Causes- machines and transport systems, motor
vehicles engines and trains, social events
Effects- Hearing problems, health issues like
hypertension, sleeping disorders, etc.

8. 13 out of
world's top
20 polluted
cities in
India
Ganga and
Yamuna
among top 5
most polluted
Nearly 25%
of all deaths
in India in
2015 were
caused by
pollution
THE INDIAN SCENARIO
2.51 mil deaths
in India in 2015
Air
pollution
kills 1.81
mil
(highest
in world)
0.64 mil deaths due to
water pollution
noise pollution exceeds the permissible limits in
seven cities Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, etc
The current
Delhi smog
