SMOKE

GASES

CHEMICAL

AFFLUENT & WASTES

FERTILIZERS PESTICIDES BIO-NON DEGRADABLE SUBSTANCE

AIR POLLUTION
Causes diseases like asthma & cancer Harms plants, animals, and the ecosystems Causes acid rain and snow harmful both man, animal and water and plants

SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

Pollution From Power Plants & Automobiles

* Automobile

exhaust contains unburned hydro-carbons, particulates, carbon dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen and sulphur that contribute to acid rain, smog, and global warming.

SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

BURNING OF FUELS & HOUSEHOLD ACTIVITIES

Burning gas, coal, and oil puts into the atmosphere carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and tiny solid particles.

SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

Indoor Air Pollution
* Indoor pollutants include tobacco smoke; radon, an invisible radioactive gas. * Chemicals released from synthetic carpets and furniture, pesticides, and household cleaners. * Indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels which is harmful to us. * Inefficient or improperly vented heaters.

EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

The oxides combine with water vapour in the air to form acids, which return to the ground as acid rain. Acid Rains Forest Destruction Smog, a mixture of smoke (particulates) and fog, irritates the eyes, throat, and lungs and also damages plants. Ozone Layer Depletion Bhopal-India Gas Tragedy Asthma

WATER POLLUTION
MAJOR TYPES OF WATER POLLUTANTS

A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H.

Petroleum Products Pesticides and Herbicides Heavy Metals Hazardous Wastes Excess Organic Matter Sediment Infectious Organisms Thermal Pollution

SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION

* * * Pollutants from industrial sources may pour out from the outfall pipes of factories. Cities and other residential communities contribute mostly sewage in water pollution. Pollutants from such agricultural sources as farms, poultry farms contribute animal wastes, and agricultural chemicals.

Soil Pollution
* Soil pollution is a build-up of toxic chemical compounds, and pathogens (diseasecausing organisms). * Soil pollution has seriously degraded soil quality, and enhanced erosion. * Fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides destroy useful organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and other micro-organisms.

Exposure of people or animals to levels of sound that are annoying, stressful, or damaging to the ears. Sound intensity is measured in units called decibels.

SOURCE OF NOISE POLLUTION

* Automobiles, trucks, and aircraft. Construction equipment, farm machines, and inside factories. * Some home appliances, shop tools, and lawnmowers fire-crackers, and some toys. * * High volume music The engines of ships and off-shore oil machinery

exploration and drilling are also noisy.

ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION POLLUTION

METHOD

STRATEGY - I
* Re-using paper and much domestic waste. * * Not using cups and plates made of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Educating rag-pickers who are the carriers of pollution-causing products

STRATEGY - II
* * * * * * * * Planting new trees and saplings. Controlling the rate of deforestation in our home gardens and schools. Protecting forests by creating awareness. Promoting wild life sanctuaries. Donating money for maintenance of parks, orchards and other natural resources. Presenting our show case at various places to create awareness on evil effects of environment pollution. Using flower pots and earthen pots for growing plants and flowers in case we dont have garden in our homes. Not encouraging purchase of goods made of wood.

AFFORESTATION

STRATEGY - III BANNING POLYTHENES

* Say no to polythene-the enemy of our environment. * Raising campaigns against the use of Polythene * Using other alternative sources like paper bags or other degradable material instead of polythene .

STRATEGY - IV
CHANGE IN ATTITUDE TOWARDS OUR ENVIRONMENT
* * * Promoting flora and fauna in our vicinity Minimizing pollution by home appliances. Getting our vehicles/mopeds regularly checked so that their emission must be in the permissible limits and they should be nonpolluting vehicles. * Avoid burning fossil fuels or other fuels.

STRATEGY - V

OMBATING NOISE POLLUTION

* Avoiding high-sound music and sound. * Avoiding continuous persistent blaring of our vehicle horns while driving. * Creating awareness regarding the hazards of Noise Pollution. * Discourage DJ Culture, dance and higher decibel creating music parties.

COMBATING WATER POLLUTION

* * * Keep the water masses near our home like rivers, ponds, lakes clean. Avoid throwing any garbage like polybags, etc. into the river water. Wage a campaign for cleaning of river water near our habitat. * Proper sewage system.

STRATEGY - VI
