When Harmful Substances Contaminate the Environment, it is Called
Pollution. Pollution refers to the very bad condition ofenvironment
in terms of quantity and quality .

Causes of Air Pollution


Major sources of Air Pollution:

Industries.

 Automobiles and Domestic fuels.

 High Proportion of undesirable gases, such assulphur


dioxide and carbon monoxide.

Dust (e.g. cement dust, foundry dust andwindblown solid


dust)

Smoke.

 AAAEROSOLS
Carbon black.

Aerosols.

Water pollution
Is a physical (temperature,
oxygen), chemical(mercury), or
biological (disease, sewage) change
towater that adversely affects its use
by alive beings.

Causes of Water Pollution

 AAAEROSOLS
About 40% of Deathsworldwide are caused by
WaterPollution.

Water Pollution is
Causedbyorganic and
inorganicindustrial wastes and
effluentsdischarged into rivers.

Noise pollution
Noise can be simply defined as unwanted sound.
The sound is pleasant or not depends upon itsloudness, duration,
rhythm and the mood of theperson.
Noise pollution not only results in irritation andanger.
Noise Levels: Decibels (dB)
•Intensity
•Frequency
•Periods of exposure

 AAAEROSOLS
•Duration

Causes of Noise Pollution


Traffic Noise.
Aircraft Noise.
Noise from construction and civil
engineering works. Noise from the
Industries.

Earth contamination is a serious global problem. You
cannot escape air pollution,not even in your
own home. Humans who come in contact
with polluted waters canexperienceharmful
symptoms. Water pollution occurs when pollutantsaredischargeddirectly or
indirectly into water bodies without adequatetreatmentto remove
harmfulcompounds. Land pollution is the degradation of Earth's
land surfaces. It occurs whenwaste is not disposed properly.
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulatematter ,

percent of ocean pollution comes as runoff fromagriculture, industry, and

There is anexcess of waste being dumped. The amount of toxic

asthma, heart and lung disease suffer more when the air is
polluted. Short-termeffects of air pollution include irritation to the eyes,
nose and throat, and upper
respiratoryinfections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Long-
term health effects can includechronic respiratory disease,
lung cancer, heart disease, and even damage to the

use and recycle. We can
try to prevent
land pollution
by disposingof some waste
correctly. We can separate
household waste at home
for recycling. Morethan
half of our domestic waste
could be recycled or re-
used but once it is mixed
up, it becomes more
difficult to separate different components for recycling. In order to
reduceair pollution we have to plant trees. Vegetation
purifies the air by removing gaseous pollutants by
absorbing them through pores in the leaf surface. Trees store carbon
