Definition
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 .

A Broader View of Pollution
Types
Air Pollution.
Water Pollution.
Noise Pollution.
Soil contamination (by lead, heavy
metals)
Air Pollution
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.
Sources & Pollutants
How to control air
pollution?
How to control air
pollution?
Maintaining a healthy distance between the industrial
and residential areas.
The chimneys should be constructed tall in size so that
the emissions must be released higher up in the
environment
The sulphur must be removed after burning.
The gasoline must have anti knocking agents..
The mining area should be planted with trees.
How to control air pollution?
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.
How to control air
pollution?
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
Water Pollution.
Water pollution is the contamination
of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers,
oceans, aquifers and groundwater).
Polluted Water
Polluted Water
Domestic sewage.
Industrial wastewater.
Agricultural wastewater.
Construction site stormwater.
Urban runoff (stormwater).
Water Pollutants.
Petroleum hydrocarbons
Plastics
Pesticides
Heavy metals
Sewage
Radioactive waste
Thermal effluents
Water Pollutants
Detergents
Chloroform
Food processing waste, (fats and grease)
Insecticides and herbicides.
Petroleum hydrocarbons, (gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuels,
and fuel oil).
Lubricants (motor oil).
From stormwater runoff.
Preventing Water
Pollution
Conserve water by turning off the tap.
Mind what you throw down your sink or toilet.
Dont 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.
Dont throw litter into rivers, lakes or oceans. Help clean
up any litter you see on beaches or in rivers and lakes,
make sure it is safe to collect the litter and put it in a
nearby dustbin.
Treating Polluted water
Suspended, solid particles and inorganic material can
be removed by the use of filters.
Use of biological filters and processes can naturally
degrade the organic waste material.
After above two steps chemical additives are supplied to
get rid of any left-over impurities.
Noise Pollution..
Noise Pollution
Noise Pollution
Noise pollution is displeasing or excessive noise
that may disrupt the activity or balance of human
or animal life.
SOURCES:
Machines.
Transportation systems.
Motor vehicles.
Aircrafts.
Trains.
Poor urban planning.
Effects of Noise Pollution
Noise pollution affects both health and behavior.
Unwanted sound (noise) can damage psychological health.
Noise pollution can cause
Annoyance
Aggression .
Hypertension .
High stress levels .
Hearing loss.
sleep disturbances, and other harmful effects.
SOIL POLLUTION
Soil Pollution..
Soil contamination or soil pollution 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.
improper disposal of waste.
Soil Contaminating Chemicals
Petroleum hydrocarbons.
Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Pesticides
Lead and Other heavy metals.
How to control soil
pollution?
How to control soil
pollution?
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
Treating Wastes of industries.
Treating nuclear waste.
Proper disposing of plastics and other garbage materials.
A Single Solution..
Go green.
Reduce
THANK YOU !!!
